Tell me about Nightforce Unimounts

[OrbitalE]

I think I have an older Badger mounted up somewhere and I just bought a C1/COMM. I would expect them to be more or less identical aside from the enhanced capability of the C1 and I too would prefer it over a Geissele Super mount, as evidenced by my purchase. Spuhr out for personal reasons and I've owned Nightforce unimounts with no issue in the past.

I only use NF and Badger mounts at this point. I have been using the NF unimounts for years now. They are less expensive than other options and are my go to light weight option. If I want modularity then I flex to the badger C1.

I’ve used a few NF Unimounts.

Damn good. Second to none.

I’m setting up an AR and bought the Vortex one piece scope mount. I didn’t care for the way it looked or the 35 inch pounds maximum torque (low?) so I sent it back and ordered one directly from Midwest which was actually a bit cheaper. The maximum torque for the Midwest mount to rail bolts is 45 inch pounds which seems more normal. It made me think the Vortex bolts were thinner or weaker material.

I’m not a torque expert and honestly couldn’t tell you what’s good or not. However, I have a minimalist Colt LE6920 setup with iron sights (carry handle). I used my fat wrench and set the torque to 25 inch pounds. They haven’t moved, loosened, or lost zero in over 10 years of doing this.

I know the NF Unimount calls for something like 60-68 inch pounds of torque.
