hey folks. Any options on the redstar mountain pem base mount and scope. Accumounts told me it's gonna be a very long time before they are back in stock. Wanted to get started. Who makes a good repro pem base mount and scope?
 
Red Star scopes are absolute junk.
Numerous documented issues all over the internet.
Both of mine had faulty turrets, the finish was rubbed off with a fingernail . not worth it. They are display pieces or paperweights only,
The mounts are much better, screw heads strip out with no effort.
 
I don’t know about that particular one. I installed a turret mount on a K98 for a customer a while back, and he was happy with it. I know for sure he shot it at least some(we have vintage sniper shoots in my area).

Now, I didn’t use the mounting screws it came with. I used some others, simply because 6-48 was pretty close in size and I didn’t want to have to order a special tap to use their screws.

I’m going to eventually do a PE build myself. But I have some other things ahead of it for now.
 
I installed an Accumounts PE mount and scope for a customer a few years ago.
IIRC, it was around five bills and of decent quality. Didn't shoot it, but the optic had decent clarity.
