I am looking at geting the 4th Gen scope mount from Springfield Armory. they have two available. One is Alum and the other Steel. Anyone see an issue with either? i am thinking the Alum as it is about $140 less expensive than the steel one. Dave |

Quoted:
i would pass on the springfield mounts and get a Basett mount. it is a good, cost effective mount that is easy to remove and re-install with little zero change. Looks good and only a few dollars more than the Alum Springfield Armory one. My only concern is the single point attachment. Keeping the mount from tipping forward or backward. Thanks. Dave |
| I bought a 4th Gen. Steel one,.... and sent it back. There was no milled keys for the interface with the receiver keyways... I could see the ridges had been milled away. Really too bad, it had some qualities I liked, after phoning SAI customer service about the mounts lack of "keys"... they said that there are to many out of spec. receivers out there, so they opted to leave off the keyways..... because that seemed stupid... ( those strike me as a very important part of the scope mount,absorbing most of the recoil / shock from the scope.... having all the weight of the scope "recoiling " off the stripper clip guide seems to me as a very bad idea. ) So I phoned Sadlak , he laughed and came to the same conclusion as me .... SAI still hasn't gotten it right. Get yourself a Bassett, or Sadlak, or Smith Ent. , or ARMS... |
