I did okay with a b-square mount when that was all that was available but better options are out there.
Would be curious to know the particulars as to how highly touted mounts were a POS.
One highly touted mount, an Ad Recon. It REFUSED to hold zero no matter where it was positioned, how tighly it was torqued down, etc. I even tried in on two different rifles. For the $ spent, I was -- and still am -- quite pizzed off. Switched the scope to a PEPR and haven't had any issues whatsoever.
