Seems like a few years ago there were 25 companies churning them out. Now it’s basically Larue and ADM and even those are hard to find with pricing just about half of what the red dot itself costs. Too many reports of the Aero cantilever mounts to trust them.
What options are out there? Where have they all gone?
Bumping this one. The struggle is still real. I have 2 Scalors which are fine after the new hinge, but they seem to be phasing out the 30mm. Geissle is the best looking one, but it’s $200, not QD, and not lower 1/3. Not deal breakers but not exactly what I’d like.
The Geissele is the only 7075 one. So I’m leaning towards that since it’s nearly twice as strong as everyone elses.
While the Scalar is a cool mount it’s tough to argue with the sheer clamping force of a 1/2” nut torqued to 65in-lbs on the Geissele. Just simple and solid.
