Just installed my mount and checked and mine matches a level across top of action. Id recommend maybe reaching out to them see what they say before "throwing it in the trash".

New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

Question for those with 90° bolt rifles, if you have the mount cantilevered off the back of the action, does the serrated mounting area interfere with your bolt or hand? I'm currently running a ZC527 in a SPUHR mount, but I'd like to be able to have the scope a little closer to my eye but I can't get anymore rearward adjustment out of my SPUHR.
I'd say yes, it would probably pinch you.
Can you shorten your LOP instead?
I probably could, but I'd rather make the rifle fit me rather then the other way around.
Yes, the serrated portion of the Mbrace mount will interfere with a 90 degree bolt throw if you have it too far to the rear (at least it does on my Impact).
However, I can still get it set up the same as my Spuhr with a 527 that is mounted with the bubble level hanging off the back of the action.
Thanks, that is exactly what I'm looking for. I really only need my scope that one extra slot back, and can't stand having my spuhr dangling off the back of my action.
I posted a picture of my setup earlier in the thread; this is pushing the scope and mount as far back as possible without the bolt handle interfering with the serrated portion.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the 45° mount that Ted is supposed to be making
I got impatient. This is a 22.5 degree Midwest industries T1 mount + A Shield adapter plate for the Leupold Delta Point. That way I could run either. A Straight mount would work since the ARC pick rail sticks out a ways.
A 45 might actually hang it to far out the side for my liking.
Ummmm, might be obvious, but your red dot is on backwards.
Yeah I just got the adapter plate and was dicking around with where to mount it. Nothing permanent yet.
Unfortunately I'll be tearing the gun apart tomorrow & pulling this POS Odin barrel off to swap for a Rainier ultra match. Not looking forward to it as I have a full wrap of .001 SS shim stock on the extension & this is a monolithic upper.
It's on right for the other 2 options.
Forward low might make sense for actually shooting short range with it, never going to happen. This is a 16lb AR.
High left, although non traditional is actually were I'm going to try it. Throwing it on a GC bag in a few positions I'm going to try using my left eye on the dot as I settle down right eye in scope if that makes sense. Might not work worth shit. If so the Delta Point will end up on a lighter AR or a Glock. That right there is kind of a plus for using this MI mount, options.
I also think the bridge mount would put the Red dot to high.
So anyone that's right handed try running a red dot on the left side for PRS style shooting?
It just seems a little more intuitive for me. I shoot both eyes open anyway.
The Mk5 3.6-18 is pretty easy to get behind & I'm typically 10-12x for most <700y local matches. Juice may not be worth it.
My only gripe with the M-Brace is the level. Wish it stuck out a 1/4" further. If mounted on the front it's half hidden by the parallax & my eye's no longer focus up close like they use to.
The DP may end up finding it's home here.

I ordered the 1.26 height 34mm 0moa…here’s to hoping it ships fast and I’m able to get a bridge for the red dot soon 
Anyone know if this point will be addressed with the request of a wider spread? I kinda need this as well
So far I’m liking the 22.5 MI mount on the left side.
Left eye puts me on target, on the way into cheek weld. About 1” movement from left eye dot to right eye reticle & ideal cheek weld.
It’s a bit different, but the more I practice it the more I like it. Not to high & minimal movement.
Dot on 400y steel between backers.

Ended up just getting the pic rail bridge. I'll figure out what I'm going to do with it.
I think you have just a little bit more room to add gear to your scope
(Dont mind me just a poor, drooling)I think you have just a little bit more room to add gear to your scope
I'm just sitting here looking at my scope, trying to figure out how to mount a beer bottle opener on it... cuz u never know..
I've got the ARC M-Brace pic rail, a 22.5 degree Midwest industries T1 mount + A Shield adapter plate for the Leupold Delta Point Pro. The plate is about 1/8" thick & if removed a T1 would bolt straight on.
The Delta Point Pro is a 2.5 moa dot.

https://americanrifle.odoo.com/shop/m-brace-scope-mount-1402#attr=65,381,406 look for this picture below. There’s more angles.
Looks like you just mount up the Mbrace pic rail and the integral Send It mount connects to that.

I run my send it out front of the mbrace on the action pic rail, hawkhill dope card in same place. The lrf mount would work for both applications if there is no real estate left after you mount the M-brace. Side pic rail that interfaces the mbrace will also provide a place for your sendit.
I can do that. I run dope on right side, sendit on left. I shoot both eyes open and a big dope card in left peripheral messes with me.
Any updates on the 45* offsets? Just popped an order for 2 M-Braces to swap out on rigs
Let us know how you like it after you get some range time with it thinking about one myself. looks niceM-Brace
Got mine in 1.50"
Its definitely beefy. No worries about it taking a hit. But just be warned its certainly not a lightweight...
I only saw one post addressing the bubble level locations. If I put the level on the rear serrations I can see the level but it’s not comfortable. It’s too much of a hard angle and too close to me. If I put it on the front serrations my scope turret totally covers the whole level. The LRF bridge would give me the perfect position for the level but I don’t want to add the weight and have more stuff on the rifle that I really don’t need. Seems like I just need a piece that will elevate the level a couple inches. Calling folks with a 3d printer to make one lol.
I picked up another for an incoming Arken EP5 5-25x56 in 34mm. I decided to go with a 30MOA and realized after the fact I am already running a 20MOA scope rail on my TL3. Might be overkill for a 6.5CR but I can always replace the 20MOA rail with a zero.
Any chance we see a cantilever product from ARC anytime soon? I’m so spoiled on my bolt guns now it’s making me dread using any other mount type on a new gas gun build…
The chances are very low.
I talked to Ted last year. He wasn't a fan of the long(er) cantilevers on ARs because of design/structural reasons. But he did acknowledge the thriving market. He would like to do them, but he was so busy he didn't have the time to devote to it. As it is, we are still waiting on some of the M-Brace accessories (offset RD mount).

I gotcha. I’m building a large frame AR, so I may just try the M-BRACE anyway.
Look at the Badger condition one mounts. They have pic rail, level, modularity built in.
I did the same. I have a 223 DMR and I put an M-Brace on it for my PA GlX 4-16x50. Its working fine.
So I wound up getting the M-Brace for my AR-10 build, has anyone tried a red dot on the bridge yet? Also worried about it being too high. A 4-32 NX8 will be riding in the mount.
For you guys running MK5HD's on a typical comp set up (m24/mtu/etc) are you using the 1.26 or 1.5? I have a dumb face and even low rings tend to max out the comb elevation on my stocks so I'm really hoping the 1.26 will work..
1.26 will work. I've been running my mk5hd 5-25 in 1.25" ARC rings on heavy contour barrels for a few years. Just recently started running 1.5" I run a jaw weld on a low comb height though, keep the rifle as close to centerline of my body as possible for recoil management.
