20 moa AI AE base from USO: Anybody tried it

I sent an email, but does anyone know if this just sits in place of the factory rail? It reads like they put the wrong description for the product, so i'm wondering if you really have to tap/thread again unless they use different screws.

I am guessing it just sits on top, my TRG and Sako Quad bases all just sat on top of the action.

It replaces the current rail and is aluminum, not steel. I was going to purchase one a few years back but Stacey Blankenship steered me away from it, he said that they are know to have problems and may not be perfectly fitted/in spec.

I would highly recommend using the factory AI mount if you need extra elevation. It is rock solid and very reliable.

I belive there is an error on the webpage as the AE does not have any dovetail.
But as I am told that USO have a correct mil-spec rail to replace the one of the AE i belive this is the one.

I considered it for my AE MkII.

In the end I just purchased a scope that had enough elevation for the ranges I would be shooting the rifle at.

If I was ordering an AEM in .338AI then it may be an issue.

I was kinda hoping you'd chime in. I've noticed you run just rings on your setup.

More than likely, i'll stick with the AI mount

I have one on my AE MkII. It is an aluminum picatiny rail that replaces the factory rail with no modifications.

I don't know what sort of problems one could have with it.

I would simply recommend if you are using a 30mm or 34mm main tube, then you can directly mount your optics with one of the following:
1. part #6371, 30mm 18moa
2. part #3108, 34mm 18moa
3. part #3436, 34mm 28moa
4. part #5656, 34mm 45moa

One of these mounts covers most any application and end user requirements and all of these mounts are around $186 in stock @ Mile High right now. Much easier unless you are mounting a 35mm or 40mm main tube optics. Have a good weekend.

Use the AI mount, works very well and is rock solid.
