Scalarworks Micro mount.

Anybody seen one of these yet? I really like the design, probably give one a try.....can't think of a reason not to yet.

Looks interesting for sure, but price is kinda steep for my try and see budget. If it gets the M4C nod of manly approval, then I'd go for it.

Well....I ordered one. Primary Arms sells it in a bundle with their new Advanced Micro sight, which I've been wanting to try on one of my range toys. I'll stick a T-1 on the Scalarworks mount and give it a try. Basically got the mount for $110 with the bundle.

Did you go for the Absolute or Lower-third co-witness version?

looks super nice!

Went with lower 1/3. My only concern is the ability to tighten the smallish looking thumbscrew adequately tight by hand.

Thanks!

Thanks for giving it a try and worry not; you won't have any problem getting it tight, and the design of the mount will keep it from unscrewing itself.

This thing is awesome! As light as a Fortis F1 but WITH quick detach capabilities! I weighed my lower 1/3rd ScalarWorks LDM/Micro at 1.3oz (w/o 4 Micro mounting screws) which is the exact same as my Fortis F1s (with 2 .1oz rail mounting screws and w/o the 4 micro screws). I would guess that the box design would better withstand lateral forces over I-beam design of the F1 as well, but continuing to compare the LDM/Micro to the F1 is apples to oranges because the ScalarWorks is QD! You have got to be able to get that RDS off the gun if it fogs up or the glass cracks and can't be seen through to use the irons.

The LDM/Micro is what I have been waiting for lightweight QD, it will probably be my new go to Micro mount, especially for lightweight builds and might even beat out BOBRO on the go-to gun.

How 'bout some 30mm and 1" lightweight QD scope mounts ScalarWorks? Kinda like Aero Precision's but with your detent QD mechanism.

Yeah, I'd love to see some 30 and 34mm light weight rings by you guys!

Thanks, Jerry! We're really glad you like your Low Drag Mount.

You're absolutely right about lateral forces and the LDM's peripheral 4 pillar design; that's also where the highest torsional stresses develop. The bulk of the LDM's mass was concentrated at the bottom of the mount where the highest bending stresses happen due to leverage. We also minimized stress risers by using generous internal radii. All of this was validated incrementally using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) as the design & development process progressed.

It's our policy not to comment about future products, but let's just say we've only just begun...
