    New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

    Fantastic question and thanks for asking it and for welcoming a response. Short answer: Because the M-BRACE + LRF is not a diving board. Long answer: Firstly, many in the precision bolt gun world don't care about weight. More weight results in less movement during recoil thus enabling...

    Chassis selection for forward mount NV/thermal

    Check out our Xylo chassis. Everything forward of the sliding butt assembly is machined from one big and expensive chunk of 7075, the strong aluminum, as opposed to 6061 which is the cheap stuff. The 20 MOA NV bridge connects to the forfend of the chassis by way of six conical head screws...

    New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

    A carry-handle is a great idea but it must be fashioned from wood and steel, and when using said wooden-ferrous handle to carry your rifle while running, you must be wearing a pith helmet, as if working hard to colonize a culturally inferior population, the technology of whom is no match for...

    What am I missing? Calibrate the level? 1. Connect the mount to your rifle's Pic rail. Snug the Pic rail clamp screws. 2. Place your scope into the mount. Leave the scope clamp screws loose enough so that you can easily roll the scope in the rings. 3. Locate a vertical reference in the...

    More accessories are in work. These include HUD, ACI, and RMR type mounts. SendIt is already good to go using Pic rail.

    Can you loan a Raptar to us? I'd like to get a look at one of these first hand. Maintaining alignment between optics is all about nuance. I'd like to understand the Raptar interface both with and without Pic rail. I don't know anyone at Wilcox but I'd really like to meet their dev team...

    Kiba, That means a lot. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad to see that you get it. While the LRFs are rather uncommon within the civilian ranks, it's important for me that people know where to find an engineered solution to the LRF mounting problem. I think this mount will likely...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly

    Before answering your question, I'd like to clear something up. The colloquial use of alloy is misleading. An alloy is an amalgam for two or more metallic elements. Therefore, nearly all steels in use today are alloys. Even 1018, which is about as simple as steel gets, has a bit of manganese...

    New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

    How much cantilever would you want? The M-BRACE cantilevers by up to 1.27 inches (lower pic) if you don't use the forward screw. Doing so would be fine without the mass of an LRF. But if you need a cantilevered mount and an LRF, you need to find a place on the rifle to connect the LRF. I...

    New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

    Interesting idea. Minimum ring height would be 32mm if identical serrations are used. You make a good point. Light weight attachments would be OK. Maybe that would be something for the distant future. Someday we need to collaborate with Sniper's Hide on a public design project in real time...

    Yep, it's been requested, as has been the date card holder. We just need to get to all of it. Ted

    New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you suggesting that we design separate rings each having serrated interfaces? Designing such rings would be a bad idea. The serrations can resist large moments. In this case, think of moments as forces resulting from recoil (acceleration of the...

    Well look at the bright side, it's only $279 and better than mounts that cost more, even those that cost much more. I would do more if I could, but... Ted

    New M-BRACE Scope Mount $279 from American Rifle Company

    It's already there because we knew someone would ask. However, it is not necessary. The four rail clamp screws each engage a slot making a squared lug superfluous. Superfluous is something I normally avoid because it is not in accordance with my form follows function style. But in this case...
