I am curious if anyone here has experience with spuhr hunting single piece mounts on a heavy recoil caliber. Looking for rings for a lightish weight 300prc build. Hoping someone here has played with them and has some first hand experience
Rifle Scopes Spuhr hunting mount for magnum rifle

I’ve used the spuhr hunting mounts (aesthetic mounts) a lot using the Tikka/TRG direct mounts. But only with calibers up to .308. That said, I feel sure they’d hold up fine on a magnum. They attach the same way as the regular mounts. They’re a few ounces lighter but very burly.
I've run them on rifles up to 300PRC, 300WM, 300RUM. 100% Solid. I love the cleaner more aesthetic look on hunting rifles. Just took one set off a 300PRC to change heights. Saves 3-4oz compared to regular Spuhrs.
That is exactly What I wanted to hear! Thanks. Was just worried about the magnum calibers. I’ll pick up 2 to accompany my razor LHTs
Would you say the Tikka/TRG direct mount is equal to clamping to a Picatinny rail in terms of holding strength in rough conditions? --- bouncing around on a Quad, slung off shoulder....
I’d say if anything it’s actually a more robust mounting system than a picatinny rail mount because it clamps directly on the steel action. Spuhr has said this also. The Tikka/TRG mount comes with a lug that mates into the receiver detent and the clamp with three screws to clamp on the receiver dovetail is also the same as the spuhr ISMS mounts. I move scopes around on my Tikkas quite a bit and only need to adjust turrets like +/- 0.1 mil if that. I’ve banged them a fair bit with no problems.
