I had one of those Weaver thumbnut mounts mentioned above; it was just more chinese garbage. The dumb thing leaned to one side when mounted on the rail, and had to be cranked down with a tool to stay tight. Not much point in the "thumb nuts" when you have to use tools to keep the mount tight.
It is Chinese and I was not fully honest. I use a screwdriver too. Mine was straight (vertical) and worked fine. I am pretty fussy about mounting my scopes. I think I would have seen that. I guess another example of Chinese QC.
I wont pay $200 for a mount. I can respect those who do, its just something I am not ready for. I mainly shoot at paper, no combat practice or competition shooting. Maybe a little hunting. What works for me may not be right for others.
