Walking through the halls of the IWA Outdoor Classics I ran across German optics manufacturer MAK.
In a display case in the booth was latest addition to the MAKmilmont line. It seems to have some interesting characteristics that remind me quite a bit of the Spuhr Ideal Scope Mount System.
This is a Spuhr ISMS.
What do you think?
It looks to be a very similar concept. Very similar…
But that being said, I never understood the concept. Irrespective of the mission, I want as few moving parts and pieces as possible. The more parts, the more potential for failure. I definitely don’t want all that stuff like reflex sights, etc. hanging off the side like hood ornaments. I also want a solid mount that’s going to grip the rail/scope as securely as possible and able to take a few hits and still hold zero.
That’s why I don’t have any time behind that particular mount. Would love to hear from someone who does.
ADM and to an extent most Bobro mounts look just like LaRue’s form factor.
Nightforce and Leupold one-piece mounts have the same form factor.
I see what you’re saying, but there are only so many ways to skin a cat.
In particular, there’s the 45 deg cut and the ability to attach accessories.
Also those Helicoils look terribly done.
