My Scalerworks Aimpoint mount busted.

[m4luvr]

i’m wondering if Aadland Engineering would be interested in coming up with a solution for aimpoint users?

Countless QRPs downrange have survived Soldiers and Marines. It just doesn't look cool doing it.

What is it you want the mount to do not addressed by an existing product? I've seen some careless meatheads using many of the ones on the list already posted, and most perform no worse than adequately. I don't see the need or benefit of a steel mount for this type of application?

Hold zero and don't damage the body of the sight. Most mounts have a puny footprint on the pic rail which makes no sense, but I don't think that's been a problem for me. It's been that they don't reliably keep a good "grip" on the tube and have at least enough strength to hold zero if the gun tips over.

We've dropped the shit out of some Nightforce scopes and had to do no rezero/repair. I just want an aimpoint mount to come close to that ability.

As for the QRP, it drove me nuts. I felt like i constantly had to tighten it to the pic rail. It never failed me, but I never really ran it very long. Shoot. I'd run 2 TPS steel rings if they were available in a tall enough configuration.

I've had two of the Scalarworks LEAP 30mm mounts. One with a salty old Comp M2 that I sold to a cloner for more than I paid for it and a newer PRO that I sold to a friend that needed an optic. Once I started shooting taller optic mounts I just didn't care for the height anymore.

I've since purchased two brand new Aimpoint PROs with the LRP mount, which I greatly prefer to the QRP knob. I put a 1.93 SKD riser on mine and a 1.73 riser on my wife's PRO, she doesn't care for the tall mounts. I gotta say the 1.73 is probably the best of both worlds though, tall enough to not have to hunch over but still able to run BUIS.

On the big tube Aimpoints, yes 1.7” is optimal.

Yes, I like the "absolute co-witness" as opposed to the lower third one.

1.7" isn't absolute cowitness. The irons sit near the very bottom of the optic window.

Yes, I like the "absolute co-witness" as opposed to the lower third one.

absolute co-witness = ~1.42"

lower third one = ~1.57"

1.7" splits the difference between lower third one and 1.93" and obviously Geissele 2.04" and Unity 2.26" go up from there with the latter 3 considered NV /gas mas height.

Damn, caught dead to rights and full of shiite! I should have just said "absolute co-witness" and left it at that! Numbers schmumbers.....

Absolute co-witness also makes zeroing easier; do the irons then move the dot to the tip of the front sight post. You will at least be close and save some zeroing ammo.

I hate to dogpile on you but you can lollipop the dot with lower 1/3 and 1.7 before confirming the dot.
