I'd say make it fit the clone

stag6.8 · November 17th, 2007, 01:34

after thinking about it trimming the rubber wouldn`t be good either...will you build just a larue setup .....or both a larue and samson setup so we can choose?

Larue only so far.

Just a thought ,but what about making it the 2mm bigger,and include a ring insert to reduce it back down if needed. Just like scope rings (25mm to 30mm) . Pretty simple fix,maybe something like that?

Keep it just like the realsteel item. If the real mount requires the rubber to be trimmed on the magnifier, then that's the way it should be on the replica.

Definitely make it fit the clone - I'm sure I'm not the only one that wouldn't want to bother with cutting down the rubber. I think people will almost exclusively be using the clone mount for the clone magnifier, so making the mount fit the clone perfectly seems like the best solution.

I'm with Alpha on this one. Keep it simple.

I also vote for replicating real steel dimensions.

I have no qualms about trimming off the rubber, although Kody_1's idea of making the mount fit the clone with shims to fill up the extra 2mm sounds like a good compromise.

OK, Kody_'s idea is what I have in mind. BTW, Eotech 3x is also in progress.

I went to the real steel range to try out the magnifier....and...it worked great...I shot a quick 100 rounds at 75 yards to start and no recoil damage and held its zero...shooting prone(which is my first time trying)it was a little high and to the left(25 rounds and 50 yards)..dailed the aimpoint the the direction of the bullet travel and got right over the target....pulled target back to 75 yards ....did another 25 rounds prone...and still got right over the target....I did the remaining 50 rounds from the bench...In which im used to shooting...one inch over the target....I did 100 rounds in which thats all I had time to shoot....the magnifier performed great....no recoil damage...and 6.8 spc caliber has double power and kick than a .223 and 20% less power than a .308...and kept its zero....thank you for offering a great product for such a great price...BTW...the ammo I was shooting was remington 6.8spc caliber 115gr FMJ....im going back to the range in a couple of weeks or so ....to tune it in for 100 yards+ ...enjoy the pics
