Spuhr Warranty

[sniper79_98]

Good afternoon,

I have a Spuhr mount that was given to me. It’s an awesome mount but, I was wondering what (if any) warranty came with the mount?

 

[Hardpan]

Mile High Shooting will take care of you if you have a problem with it. Just don’t over torque the screws, @lowlight has a Spuhr video on YouTube

 

[hafejd30]

The crossbar on mine cracked. Mile high provided a new bar and new screws free of charge. I was not original owner and no idea where mount was originally purchased. And they knew this before helping me

 

[sniper79_98]

That’s AWESOME news. It was my number one concern and the reason I was hesitant to buy a used one for myself.

 

[cschastain2]

Spuhr resigned the crossbar and beefed it up with a thicker crossbar that Mile High (Who is Great) will replace the broken one with. I had to replace and Cerakote the new one to match my FDE version. Also, the new beefier crossbar I don’t think, will have the same malfunction as the older one, if one breaks. They’re pretty thick.

That’s the new version…Yes

Oh crap…that’s the beefed up one?…Cracked too?

Disregard all after hello…

My thread

Rifle Scopes - Well I cracked a Spuhr mount…!!

Asked a question a while back on spuhr mounts cracking. Just generally curious how big of an issue it was. While mounting my 4th spuhr mount today I got to find out for myself…. This SP-4002 appears to have the beefed up cross bar for mounting to the picatinny rail but I actually felt it crack...

Same, Spuhr answered my email within a few hours, and I had the replacement in a week. I had two 36mm mounts, one side plate cracked, one hadn't. Sent out two anyway.
Cheers

Good Thread there!

 

[AmericanSniper61]

That’s the new version…Yes

Seems like someone should do an Aftermarket Billet machined bar?

Tier one right there.

Nightforce
Badger
ZCO block mount
Don’t have these failures

Counterfeit chynese^.

Or like any nightforce “failure”, user error

The trick to scope mounting is tightening til you hear a small snap or feel the scope tube crush in just a bit. Then back off a 1/4 turn. Never had one slide…ever

I thought the secret was the use foot lbs instead of inch

Funny enough back when I was a total n00b many years ago I did something like this. Managed to bend steel Badger USMC rings.

Funny thing is the Steiner M5 I was trying to mount turned out just fine, just some ring marks. That scope is still in use today on my wife's rifle.

No nf could have survived that

I would expect better from a 400 dollar mount.

I have 3 spuhr mounts and a I break everything down and re torque them a few times a year. Zero issues.

I must be lucky

 

[SingleShot85]

I've have/ had several and never an issue..... never had issues with any of my seekins rings either

I must be lucky too. Probably mounted over 100 optics in spurs on rifles and never had an issue.

I go though the pattern and just slightly tighten all the bolts. And gradually torque up to spec. When removing I also don't losen one bolt all the way at a time. Maybe quarter turn ish at first on each one. Half turn second time through, and then all mostly loose to all the way on third pass. This keeps all the tension from building on one bolt or screw. Never broke a cap or clamp doing it this way on install or renoval. Maybe overkill, but it's a process that's worked for me.

Yea I got like 6 currently but have owned probably over a dozen with heaven knows how many scope swaps as I like to play scope of the month ... Fingers crossed I have yet to crack one or have a scope slip

came across this old post when searching similar issue with my Sphur mount.
I had mine a couple of years ago, and I was aware of this cracking issue but I thought I was lucky until today. The side plate of my Sphur just cracked the same way as others have shown here. I did not even touch the screw and the plate just cracked. I guess this will eventually happen when the metal is under stress for a long time?? either way, I'm disappointed and I'm reaching out to Sphur for a replacement. Hopefully this will be resolved properly

Update: Milehigh came back to me quickly. no question asked, and I'm getting a replacement side clamp. I hope this one lasts longer.

Zero reason to run a spuhr unless you need 32 gadgets attached.

Nightforce and ZCO are the way

 

[Hardpan]

Shoot an email to Mile High Shooting. They will take care of you. Great people

 

[Kiba]

Mile High will take care of you.

I speak from experience as I've had to warranty 5 cracked clamp bars out of 11 Spuhr mounts over the years, LOL

 

[sniper79_98]

Over a year going strong!

I've had all the go to mounts and the zco is what I like best. I do like the mbrace but they are just too dang heavy and bulky for me, especially when running something on top. Zco is much better imo
