I was playing around with a new M2 optic/laser mount that the scout platoon I'm attached to received awhile back. It made me think of the problem a few of you bigger caliber guys have. I know one person posted awhile back that hated having to zero his .300 win mag out so far so that he didn't have to do as many adjustments, but come time for hunting or a competition that had the close up shots he was out of luck. The general consensus was suck it up, zero at 100 and get good at adjusting a lot quickly. Well with this mount you can adjust the base. How much I'm not sure. It is VERY solid though with no play at all. I was thinking about maybe making something like this on a MUCH smaller scale for a precision rifle. The first problem I see is how far away the scope will be from the action and barrel. I'll try to keep it as low as possible. As far as sight picture I think if you have an adjustable cheek piece(A.I., A5 etc.) you should be good. The idea is for when it's flat you're at 0 MOA. click the lever and bam you're at 20. There might be a 0-30 model as well. The confusing part in my eyes is that you'll have two dope sheets and I'm all about keeping it simple. So what I'm asking is am I missing something here? Other than what the mil. has taught me I'm not an expert on this aftermarket stuff by any means. Just thought I'd run it past the guys that are. I do have access to a machine shop when I get back and if there was enough interest in this I think it might be something worth while.
