It would seem “Used” is all you’re going to get. Your best bet would be to monitor the popular selling and auction sites as they are available occasionally. When you have 50 posts you can get access to the PX too. That being said, I’ve seen several offers to buy recently but no one selling any. Good luck.

 

Fair enough, appreciate the honest feedback.
I've been watching all of the ones i know of like a hawk, I can't find any side mount scope mounting that is high enough to see the iron sights even with a scope on the gun though (besides Bassett).
The others are all low mounts, and aside form the Sadlak Aluminum, or steel from Springfield/Sadlak/SEI, the mounts are all junk.

 

You can look around for an SAI Gen 1 mount. High enough that you can see under, single point mount

 

I was just looking up these mounts to verify, I see your comment below, ty.

 

I believe some of the Sadlak mounts allow you to use your irons under the mount.

 

I believe all the sadlak involve removing pins, and attaching to the stripper clips.
I have a forward rail system for a red dot, and/or normal scope since they are much longer and have the proper eye relief.

I don't want my gun covered in rails all the time, and I have read that some of these can cause hangups by catching the brass and failing to feed.
I'd vastly prefer a removable system, and thank you for the advice and information.

 

S&K will have a mount like you’re describing, but it is a 2 piece. That has always made me mistrust it’s stability.

 

I found that before, it's only at a little shop called "The Country Shed", but it has to be a rail type mount to fit my Day/Night optics mount.

Thank you very much for the suggestion though.

Edit: ooooooh, they have two, one being a rail!! Alebit a weaver rail, unsure if the Sitemark Wraith scope mount fits a wweaver rail.
Anyone have experience with this mount system?
re-Edit: I am going to contact them tomorrow by phone to see about a custom order, Thanks Anthony, it's a lead at least!

 

Im wrong about SAI gen 1. My mount has no markings.
unkola is right about any of the mounts. If the bell is too large it will preclude use of irons. Also, if you have a riser for proper cheek weld it’s hard to get your face down low enough to use Irons

 

My Vltor Sage Stock adaptor is adjustable up and down, by about 1 Inch, and has a lower profile for cheek weld.
As is now, hanging my optic over the front rail, I have the Re-EBR stock adaptor lowered all of the way down and have proper level for eye relief, it's just too short and causes me to put my face over the reciever almost to see.

(No, i have NOT fired it in this configuration, lol)

 

From your first post, I’m not clear on your priorities. If it’s utilizing your scope on multiple rifles have you considered going to detachable rings instead? Like Anthony and Condition One said, using the sights through the mount is somewhat impractical with a riser attached or raised. If I had a problem with a rifle, I’d simply set it aside and shoot another, fix the problem on the spot or call it a day.

 

I don't know why i always configure my guns (that have optics) to allow me to see/use the iron sights, but I do.
I only recently even learned how to use a scope/optic at all ( I am 46 years old), and have an inherent mistrust of them.
But almost all the leases around me in Texas require you to use optics to hunt on their land( if only they knew I am more accurate with iron sites than an optic at 100 yards lol).

I feel much more confident shooting with iron sights, and want it to always be an option, lastly I do not want the rail on my gun at all times.
When i need it for a night hunt I can put it on, and remove it when i do not.
I have read that a lot of these can cause jams and a fialure to feed/eject the brass, so I would prefer them not to be hard mounted.

I see your point and (I am) fast approaching the same decision of just giving up and having a permenant low mount attached to the stripper clip I will hate everytime i see it lol.
Maybe this S&K suggestion anthony gave ( i had found their single scope mount with rings before, not that they made picatinny and weaver rails too)will pan out for me in the end.

 

Get a Sadlak mount and QD rings

 

Rings won't work with my Day/Night optic, and Sadlak attaches to the stripper clip, can't easily be removed.

If it's a last ditch effort I'll go that route, not that they have them in stock either, all the quality aluminum mounts are out of stock.

Oh, I just realized what oyu meant by QD rings, I ordered a sling and some rings from SKD tactical.
Got the slingster and 2 Vltor QD rings.

 

I have this bassett mount which i believe is there high version,let me know if interested.

 

I have this bassett mount which i believe is there high version,let me know if interestedersion

I am extremely interested, I don't know if that mount will work for my Day/Night Optic but I bet i can find a way to make it, or use another scope and sell the current one I have and upgrade it!!

 

test.

 

The Bassett standard mount Forceman showed you will not work with your optic.
That scope mount has two separate short rails set at a 45* angle.
If you want a Bassett for the optic you have you will need one of the Picatinny rails.
Thank you,

Glenn

 

Well let me know.

 

I sent you a conversation message. Thank you

 

The Ewings scope mount attaches to the rifle exactly the same way that a Bassett does. It is a very simple mount. But, they are steel, so are heavier than a Bassett. There were two models. One with 3 sets of holes vertically, and one with 4. This allows for changing the scope height, but it won’t help if the scope has a large bell. Unfortunately, Ewings are no longer made. I found 2 on EBay. 1 with 3 holes, which I got, and 1 with 4.

 

I'll add it to my list of what tolook for, thank you.

What blows my mind is noone produces any of these anymore, even though this is a very popular platform, everyone has switche dot making AR junk only smh.

 

You can do what I did, machine a SA aluminum mount to accept 4mm steel pins. It’s very repeatable zero. I made 16 of them and don’t use them because they are too high for my liking and I switched over to iron sights on all but three rifles

 

That is well above my pay grade, i have no milling machine/ability.
How are those roller bearings held in place?

 

Still gonna be a difficult solution. That scope is huge. I have a RNY mount, it rocks, but I still don’t think it’s tall enough

 

pretty sure geepee has solved my problem with the exact mount I am looking for.

 

Bassett high might not meet the need Trial and error

honest opinion. better and get a neck stretcher and a hella high removable cheek rest.

 

I won't be keeping the optic on the gun at all times, just when i go out at night.
Thats why the bassett since it can be removed, and put back and hold 0 pretty well.

My Vltor buttplate adjusts up and down, and in and out, and as is now I have perfect heigth on the scope but it's just too far forward for comfortable eye relief.

I will send pics when the builds completed and show it.

 

The best is probably the original arms 18 mount. It’s just two small rail sections that don’t obscure the ejection port. You have to replace the clip guide but its like the mount isn’t there at all, and it’s low enough the irons are usable just keep scope on quick release rings - sadly they’re not being made anymore

 

c

 

I just received a new info on an optics place I am not familiar with- it is called , Optics Planet.com. Perhaps they have what you are looking for,

 

Is this sarcasm or sincere?

 

It’s likely AI bullshit

 

You cant use the iron site's, but it has quick detaches. Never had a problem with re -zero or loosening.
Made in AMERICA

 

geepee3 helpe dme out and sent me the exact mount I was asking about, the Bassett High, I can see and use the iron sites with a scope mounted.

thank you sir!
