Rifle Scopes Lightweight Anti-Cant

[treillw]

Any suggestions on a quality, user friendly, lightweight anti-cant for a 30mm scope? Going on a Cooper m92.

Thanks!

Is there a heavy one?

Is there a heavy one?

they all seem pretty light to me.
Vortex ones are certainly pretty light.

Tubbs anti is lightest I've found. Also allows mounting low with is nice.

I'm sure that there are some that are heavy. I few I've looked at say they weigh half an ounce. For how big they look, that seems unrealistic compared to the scope ring size and weight.

I'll add quality and user friendly to the list as well.

I have a brand new design coming out! I'll post pics this evening. We also have our printed ones which are very light, but aluminum is certainly a more premium feel and appearance.

I love the anti-cant level on my Spuhr mounts. Of course it is only useful for checking the relative height of my bipod legs when at the bench. It is more or less invisible when I am on the gun.

Thanks Tyler. How much do they weigh? I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Of all the ones I have or have used, I really like the vortex lo pro bubble levels. I have no idea how much they weigh though...?

 

[treillw]

Is it correct that you are supposed to mount the anti-cant as far away from you on the scope as possible?

 

[Wyzrd]

Not necessarily. Some people, myself included, mount them farther away on the scope, and some folks prefer them closer to their eye while behind the scope. You'll just have to play around with the position of it on your scope and see what works the best for you. The placement also depends on how much real estate you have left on the main tube of your scope, after its mounted in rings or one piece mount.

Does the Tubbs anti-cant snag on stuff since it hangs off the side of your rifle? I will be carrying the gun miles and miles though the woods on a backpack etc.

Mine sticks out no farther than my parallax/illumination knob.

Quick phone pic but here's the new design. Very low profile, but also very robust. Pin holds level vial in and is also a quick visual indicator, entire top is open for maximum light gathering. Hinged design for easy setup, will fit under almost all scope mounting setups without needing to remove optic.

Right at 1oz for 30mm.

Maybe look at Hawkins rings or Nightforce you can get a level in the top cap with those.

I really wish that Hawkins made the one piece mounts for the Cooper 92. Going the Nightforce ring route adds a few extra ounces to the rifle - yeah, I know they are only ounces.

Okay I see. Well just a thought as they would be less intrusive but if you have to mount a base then yea that'll add weight.

I really wish somebody would make a bubble level for Talley rings. I might have to crank up the mill and make my own.

I would recommend the Hawkin's Ultra Light Tactical Scope Rings if your utilizing a pic rail.
