Rifle Scopes Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

[997/2man]

Just received my mount from Mile High. I knew it would be beefy, I wasn't ready for this! Built like a tank, a ton of mounting options (red dot, laser), the little leveling wedge DOES work well. I checked it compared to my way of leveling with a plumb line and leveling tool.


Mr. Spuhr makes a fine mount, I'm rethinking my QD mount needs and may just replace my mounts with Spuhr across the board. Many of us use a QD mount, when in reality, we seldom change out our scopes.

Want to thank Mile High and Spuhr.

Stick with Mile high too. They are a great company. Your right on the mounts quality.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I got my Spuhr mount in yesterday from Mile High and love it. One thing that stood out to me was how light it is. I didn't weigh it and I can't find anything on their site, but it is considerably lighter than what I was expecting.

I am extremely pleased and when it is time for me to revamp my R700, Mile High will be the place I go for an AI AX chassis (even if LL doesn't like them, haha)

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I just got mine mounted this week as well. Unless I'm just missing something obvious or built different than everyone else, I'm a bit disappointed in the bubble level. I can't see it without moving my head away from the eye piece.

i've been in the habit of using one eye to look through the scope, and the other eye to occasionally check the level. with the new spuhr mount i can't see hte level with either eye.

feels solid though. instructions were surprisingly well done

I haven't had that issue at all. When I have both eyes open I can see the level pretty clearly with my left. Now I do have to remember I'm looking at it from an angle, but there's nothing obstructing my vision.

What scope are you using? I have mine on a S&B 5-25x56.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

also a S&B 5-25x56. the ocular is obstructing my view of it. i am straight behind the rifle, not at an angle

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

Awesome mount, but I had the same issue seeing the level without repositioning my cheek weld.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I helped a friend install one on his AR10, that mount is extremely well built and it was easy to install.
great product.

Glad to hear that your Spuhr mount is working out well. As you have found out, they are definitely built like a tank and you can get mighty creative with the bolt on accessories. We slapped one on a Barrett M82 today and it will certainly work well for the heavy-duty abuse a .50 will provide.

We definitely appreciate your business and will be happy to outfit anything else needed.

Hmm, sorry to hear that but I've set up prone and bench (on my kitchen table, oh the joys of being single) and haven't had any issue seeing the level with my left eye. I guess there's finally a benefit to having such a huge melon!

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I had to add to this one, I also got my SPUHR mount from Mile High Shooting, and once again GREAT customer service from Mile High and this mount seems to be the only thing that is physically as strong as an AI AW and the Nightforce NXS on top of my AW. This mount is F*$#%&G AWESOME!!!

 

[997/2man]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I ordered another one yesterday from Diann (correct sp). This one is a 30mm cantilever model. I know that they are pricey, but consider that I paid $65 last night to fill up my vehicle, it's not that bad.

The mount is robust, for sure, but doesn't seem too large. It is very light, well finished, with out any sharp corners or rough edges.

Looks just right on my LMT MWS with a USO SN-3s 1.8-10x.

Two nice features are the leveling wedge/notch and only 1 size Torx bit is needed for the base/ring fasteners. You don't need 2, as with most other designs.

I am running the same setup on two rifles. I haven't encountered this problem, yet when setting them up I took the time to try the mount in various places on the rail. I found getting the scope at the correct eye relief is key. I found once I had it setup correctly when I drop down on the rifle I can easily see the level without moving my head, but it did take some tweaking to get there.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

I've been looking for a one-piece mount for a Bushnell HDMR 34 mm scope and Spuhr mounts look like the best quality and design.

A one-piece mount assures that the rings are bored in perfect alignment and will <span style="font-style: italic">stay</span> that way when moving the scope from rifle to rifle.

Two piece mounts, even on a rail from the same company, <span style="text-decoration: underline">absolutely</span> require ring lapping with a special kit to assure that no twisting forces are applied to the scope tube (and internal parts) once tightened down.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

Sure look nice wish they made a 35mm version.

 

[Spuhr]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

We have four different models of 35 mm mounts and Mile High Will get first delivery likely during next week or so.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

Does anyone know if the one piece mounts for the 30 mm non canted mount has a level on both ends? Can you set the mount up left handed and still have the option for a level?

No the one piece mount only has the level in one end. The two piece rings have a level in each end and are "ambi".

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

I have one on my LWRC that is awaiting a 1-6, I will never again buy any other mount. Well this is my first mount anyways haha

 

[mildot326]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

I have a couple of sets of the rings on the way from MHSA, Diann was great to deal with and service is "top notch" I will keep coming back to MHSA as long as I can afford it, LOL. I hope the 1" height will be G2G, I have a standard rail and factory barrel, with a PR 56mm objective.
BTW are folks using the Rosin during assembly?

[andrews1958]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible (Absitively!)

I noticed on Mile High's and Sphur's website they do not show the 2 piece ring set only the full mount? Did I over look them or have they stopped making them? If they have been discontinued why?

For most high quality rings, it's absolutely not true.

Saw THAT post just in time to avoid having to buy the lapping tools. Thank you!

I have 34mm Spuhr separates on the way because the DI Products rail on the forthcoming EuroOptic Custom Sako Quad will not accommodate unimounts. Neither will the DI Products rail accommodate the Spuhr A-0080/A-0081 wedge mounting accessory.

I am extremely pleased with the SP-4602 (6mil/20.6moa) on my SRS. No need to break cheek weld to see the level.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

How are <span style="font-weight: bold">rings</span> that are perfectly to spec going to help if the <span style="font-weight: bold">rail</span> is out of spec?

It's always the whole package. Rings that are not perfectly round will not match a (perfectly round) scope tube. Perfect rings, mounted to a crooked rail, will put strain on the tube anyway. A perfectly straight rail, bolted onto a crooked receiver, will result in a bent rail and thus poor alignment of the perfect rings.

Give it up this has been argued about ad nauseam. There are simply people that do not understand how each component affects the other. There are people that religiously lap rings and others that religiously don't.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

Also the scope leveling accessory for seperate rings is the best thing since sliced bread. For 30 bucks I see no reason not to have one.

 

[30calDeath]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

Bought mine from TNVC here on the 'Hide. Have yet to mount glass up in the mount but it will probably be the only type of mount I use from here forward.

I agree, I purchased one with my rings.I will however double check it with the Wheeler level level.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

977/2man,

How do you like the height of the lower non-cantilevered mount? I'm considering one, but am undecided on the 1.18 or the 1.46 cantilevered model.

 

[UNRL Ghandi]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

Anyone mount a Trijicon RMR (or other red dot) on theirs?

I ordered the GDI P-ROM for the QD and RMR mounting capabilities. Since the SPUHR is in stock and GDI mount has been backordered since April, I'm thinking about picking one of these up and doing a comparison review once the GDI comes in.

 

[Larry Vickers]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I have been using Spuhr mounts since last season on TacTv and they are superb- top of the line and extremely well made

In addition I have made the acquaintance of Randy Pennington of Mile High Shooting Accessories and I wholeheartedly agree - top notch company and great people to deal with

Can't go wrong with either one

 

[mildot326]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

WOW a great endorsement from LAV, Thanks
Larry were you using the one piece or the rings?
Randy is on the mend I'm told, MHSA are good folks!! indeed
Thanks

 

[Larry Vickers]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

I have a few Spuhr mounts and they are all the one piece- I am a firm believer that if the one piece can be used it should- not always possible of course depending on the platform it is used on but nevertheless a good rule of thumb

We filmed a long range episode earlier this month at Gunsite with my buddy retired SF SGM Walt Wilkinson who is the current 1000 yd Hunter class .50 BMG World Champion - Walt shot his Championship rig which is a Steyr HS 50 with a Nightforce and I shot an AI AX .338 with my beloved S&B 5-25 PM II- the rig minus scope was kindly provided by the great folks at Mile High Shooting Accessories

We had a blast (literally) and I was super impressed by the long range training facilities that Gunsite has- I normally don't think about Gunsite in that way ( long range rifle) but they have the ability to shoot out to 2500

This will all be on an upcoming episode for TacTV - and yes this year my mount DID not come loose !! I woke up and used a Spuhr mount!

You are correct. The sentence was poorly worded, and should have said the new mount I ordered is a 30mm cantilever...

Both mounts are shown in the following image.

I like it very much, got the 1.18", put it on a LMT MWS with a SOPMOD, will not need a PRS or similar butt stock. Mounted nice and low, decent cheek weld. With the full length rail, didn't need the cantilever.

Used the cantilever for the JP LRP-07, which did need it.

Again, very pleased with Spuhr and Mile High.

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

Forgive my ignorance, but what does Cantilever mean?

 

[mark5pt56]

Re: Spuhr Mounts are Incredible

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

Basically, to get the scope on certain platforms in the correct position while mounted to facilitate proper eye relief. Usually on an AR based or other semi auto system.
