Geissele optic mount

Holy GOOD LORD! Does that come with a tri-pod???

😂😂

Very sexy! I just worked on procuring a mil-spec Nightforce Unimount, though, and I am kindof thinking the Unimount will remain lighter. The Geissele looks amazing, but does have some mass to it.

Not many companies could slap a name on a hex nut mount and claim to be something special. If that is super precision Bobro must be pilfered alien technology.

Maybe they are just holding it to extremely tight tolerances?

I guess it being made of an aluminum lithium alloy is it's selling point. As much as I like Geissele, if it's price is close to the Bobro's I would probably prefer the Bobro.

Article from recoil on it says the premium version will be made using 2099 and the "standard" version will probably be a more traditional style alloy.

From the article:

While he wasn’t ready to offer pricing, he said his company will release two versions of the mounts in spring 2016. One will be a premium version made of advanced Aluminum Alloy 2099, and the other will be an as-yet-to-be-determined aluminum alloy; our guess is either 7075 or its stronger brother, 7055.

They are two different types of mount completely.

They are two different types of mount completely.

They may be different but they both will be competing for some of the 30mm mount market. If they are priced similar I would for go the aluminum lithium alloy for the Bobro QD. For me I guess it will hinge on the price of these new Geissele mounts.

The magnified optic mounts will also have 4 recoil lugs. The two cross bars that clamp the mount, and two more recoil lugs machined into the bottom of the mount.

Each mount is made as a single unit; meaning the rings will have their centers' cut out prior to being cut in half. The ring tops and mount body will all be engraved with matching serial numbers. And as stated above, there will be models made for specific optics in addition to two choices of material construction.

The optic mount is supposed to RTZ every time as well.

Expected availability for the magnified optic mount is SHOT 2016





Geissele also plans on releasing a T1 mount which will use a similar rail interface.

One gorgeous hunk of metal. But are those knobs some type of QD?

The Recoil article is a voodoo man special. Guy writes the article without having even touched it.
