How are the Nightforce optic mounts? Not much gets said about them.

How are the Nightforce optic mounts? Not much gets said about them.

The UltraMounts are pretty new. Similar to Geissele, Badger, etc. Designed for the NF scopes with very little clearance for the mechanical housing so be careful if using on an optic other than NF. Seen in the wild in SOCOM usage - I took these at Ft. Lewis earlier this summer - I am pretty sure they are both NF.

Thanks. I've been planning on saving up for one of their 1-8 short LPVO's as they are both very light and durable. The mount I am looking at on their site shows the weight for the clip-on height to be 5.9, while my go to is the badger same height at 6.6.

I will be chasing as much weight off without sacrificing performance to have my GOAT setup. As I said before, I believe that the mini recce is our future in that regard because everybody wins, making the red dot guys, night vision guys, LPVO guys, assaulter guys needing super stupid tall heights, and precision guys extremely happy along with the hunters.

Nice HK. I bet that's a hefty setup. Man, that just *barely* clears the mechanical housing. You got lucky it fit as clearly NF was only concerned about it working on their optics.

Thanks. It's really not that bad. It's lighter than my M4B2 (by 1 oz) with the same basic setup (albeit with a BO mount). That barrel has the M4 profile, so it pretty much feels like a standard M4 with a Razor on it, just slightly nose heavy due to the gas block. Obviously when you start putting a can and bipod on it, it adds up, but that's true for other setups.

I didn't understand the reason on why you were selling it when I bought it from you. After the install, I get it now. I'm glad it worked out. There was still just a little play of rotation when I put it in the mount. If it hadn't worked out, I guess that would have been an excuse to go buy an ATACR, right?

I previously had a NX8 in a NF Unimount on that same rifle. It held up great and was 5.5 oz. Mated with the NX8, total weight was 24.05 on a kitchen scale. The ATACR will obviously be a couple ounces more. Picture for attention, even though it's a Knight's thread...
