Re: Quick Detach mounts for HDMR

Let's look at something else, for the best rings you could get you have Badger. These have been the standard for years, and back when people spent $1000 or less for a 700PSS and $800 to $1200 for a Leupold Mk4 they were still $200 for the rings. A custom rifle starting out set you back $2500. Today you have $4000+ custom rifles, more if you get an AI, heck your Surgeon action alone is $1400, and you can get scopes that cost as much as $3600. But now you want a quick detach mount, one piece, moving parts, with I am sure repeat-ability but figure a $200 or less mount is gonna be up to the standard of your rifle. That is essentially what you are telling me.
A mount, designed around an AR15 platform, used more often then not inside 100 yards where errors are hidden, which might, just might be shot to 300 yards is the solution you feel comfortable with on your Surgeon. You want 1/4 minute accuracy I am sure and yet will put a 1 Minute mount on it? Heck give it 3/4 minute....Nothing wrong with that at all by most people. I say buy two and enjoy the extra hundred saved, steaks for your dust. </div></div>
That is why I was asking for the info. I wasn't saying it was throwing money away, was just wondering if there was really a huge difference. I bought the Surgeon to push it past 1000. You make a good point about the mount being the weak link between my $4000+ custom rifle and $1600 optics..
Now I just need to figure out if it is REALLY 8-10 weeks for delivery..
