jkrispies Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I was playing around on the Lancer site the other day and came across their Single Ring Scope Mount (SRSM) and am curious if anybody is running it and what their impressions with it are? Seems like a good (and simple!) idea for a lightweight alternative to offset mounts.

stein Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I've been running a similar (the same?) mount from US Optics for about a year. It has been rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Other than the height, they look identical! Would you go with it again if you were going to outfit another rifle similarly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Smith Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 There are short tube red-dot sights that would work fine in it but I would worry about anything longer. Do you have a picture of where this mount would go? Won't there be problems with the scope flexing due to vibration if it's not supported front and back?

This was sort of my question. Personally, my greater concern is with, say, dumping a 3-gun rifle into a barrel and bending the scope tube due to the increased leverage of more scope overhang... if that makes sense. For a pic, I happened to notice Craig Sawyer using one in a promo photo: Edited November 19, 2014 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDingo Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I guess it depends on the optic you're going to be using. I used the US Optics single ring mount with a SN4S for a few years on an AR that got beat pretty good and didn't give a second thought to the scope. No issues with any bending or damage to the scope even strapped to a pack getting banged up on rocks and trees in northern AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I guess it depends on the optic you're going to be using. That would seem to be the key factor. In the picture, the scope has a longer rear tube than front tube. The front is short enough that you might even have to use a fairly narrow ring to fit on it. In this case, the single ring certainly looks adequate. Of course, having just one ring also means that it's easier to get the scope slightly off axis if you aren't careful mounting. But for short scopes and short ranges, it's probably not enough to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
