Spuhr is over rated. Prove me wrong

Yeah, Spuhrs are well know to randomly fail after 6-7 months. The powedered metalurgy they use reverts back to it’s powdered state shortly after purchase. Spuhr markets this as an exclusive feature and will sue any other manufacturer if they produce scope mounts that disintegrate shortly after installation.

Hawkins Precision Heavy Tactical Rings w/ Picatinny Rail
Made right here in the USA, the Hawkins Precision Heavy Tactical Scope Rings are made out of a single billet of 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum. Made with a rigid, ...www.altusshooting.com
Hawkins Precision HD FTW
I don’t see why anyone uses rings except to save money. I’m anal retentive when it comes to leveling a scope and spuhr makes that easy. When I get the scope mounted I don’t have to fool with leveling it again when I switch it to another rifle. I will only use 1 piece mounts because of this.
Split top receiver for one. Nothing wrong with rings as long as the base is solid.
I bought a picatinny rail for my cz 527 just so I didn’t have to use rings. Not saying there is anything wrong with rings, I just prefer the ease of swapping scopes around in 3 minutes with a 1 piece vs an hour I know I’d spend trying to get the “perfect” level in rings.
But once the scope is level in the rings why would you need to relevel? You don’t have to take the rings off?
Now that’s just silly. If the mount of a one piece works between all rails, why would two rings solidly mounted on a scope be any different?
FWIW, I have both rings and one-piece mounts on my scopes and have no issue swapping out either to a different rifle. Call me a sample of one, with multiple choices.
Each to their own though.

I know it’s being anal, but if there is a difference in cant between the front picatinny slot and the back slot and you simply swapped guns without reseating the rings on the rail and then resetting the scope in the rings, there would be a leverage/rotational force going on between the rings and scope tube.
With a one piece this factor doesn’t come into play between rifles with their own slightly unique picatinny rails.

Strongly disagree. I mount everything on a badger dead level off of the gun. no issues. I swap regularly. I use badger rings. Spuhr mounts.
Mounting the optic level to the rings is no guarantee that the optic is level yo the rifle or, more importantly, to how you mount the rifle. The Spuhr leveling thing may or may not be effective in leveling your optic on a meaningful manner.
guys guys, just buy a ring/mount whatever and scope per rifle and problem solved. Maybe I’m crazy, but once I have a scope I like, mounted and zeroed, I don’t take it off. Only reason it would come off is if the rifle was going to get worked on. Now, if you only have budget for one scope and are using it across multiple rifles then maybe, sure but that seems like a pain in the ass. I use and rather have my shit ready to go.
PS I have unimounts and rings. Only one spuhr tho. But I’ve never had an issue with it. Big fan of ARC rings.

I like my Spuhr mounts, but like my ARC mounts more..
I have too many scopes, and not enough rings... (Spuhrs are always oos)
first world problems I guess 
You always need extra rings with various heightsI have too many scopes, and not enough rings... (Spuhrs are always oos)

I’ll trade you a Spuhr for one them TT’s!
You're too late! I actually found some terrible Spuhr rings today... From a great SH member, too! Every TT has a home now.I’ll trade you a Spuhr for one them TT’s!
ERA-TAC Baby! Everyone needs 2lb scope rings!!! Viva la Deutschland!!

ARC rings FTW
if your going to abuse it everything is over rated and if it's gun related it's always over priced .
Tardy to the party but where did you get that turret magnifier? My blind old ass could really use that!!!
Thank you very much! Sadly it seems they hate ZCO (36mm)Bugeye
so I'm back to safety glasses with readers. That would work on my Nightforce though.Look up MK Machining, I know they have a magnifier so they may have the ones you require.Thank you very much! Sadly it seems they hate ZCO (36mm)
Edit: They do
Gen II Pro Series Turret Magnifier
Gen II Pro Series Turret Magnifier The MK Machining Gen II Pro Series Turret Magnifier has been designed to incorporate a new lens that allows for much more magnification. It still easily mounts to your scope tube and now provides a varying amount of magnification depending on placement...

You can strip those POS screws just by looking at them. One of the reasons why I would never buy Spuhrs ever again.
Zico and Nightforce mounts are best.
I still have some crappy spihr from when I didn’t know better.

WTF? Looks like he could get 2+ more rings on the back side. #MissedOpportunity
Ruger RPR take off I think.
Bought that AR super cheap here. One of the softest best shooting semis I have used
Spuhr mounts are at the top of the food chain for scope mounts. I run one in FDE on my 20S. They are expensive, but built like a friggin tank. The built in bubble level is a nice touch too for long range shooting. I think the best choice for a large scope is definitely a Spuhr. For an LPVO, I would probably go with a Geiselle.
With regard to eating optics, a good mount might help prevent it a little bit, but a quality Scar-rated optic is really what you need to prevent that. I'm sure the NF ATACR you mentioned will have no issues, as they are built like tanks

You would be hard pressed to find a better mount for the money
I was too a Spuhr fan at one time until this launched

Until you want to run a Raptar or radius and your scope mount looks like a women that got married
