[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2970334, member: 93138"] On the topic of cantilever mounts, I'm always looking at them from flex point of view. Very, very few of this type of mount have much rigidity in the structure under and directly behind the forward ring. Some on the market seem to deliberately sabotage any rigidity that the front ring connection might have had. Maybe in practicality it doesn't matter, but it matters to me. If you only ever put a 1-6x optic in them then I doubt that it does matter, but with a heavier scope that has a significant objective lens size I'm sure that ultra high speed photography would catch that front ring bobbing up and down during firing. FWIW, those cantilever mounts that I own are all Burris PEPR. Mostly because they have a box section that offers some rigidity to the front ring, and only partly because they are not terribly expensive. I've yet to do it, but I want to lap one of them just to see how true they really are, especially since I always toss the rail topped ring caps and go with the smooth caps. [/QUOTE]
