I got the lightfoot mount early this year too and it worked fine, but I haven't gotten to use it yet. I have a 3-9 Nikon on it and have loaded up 125gr HP for the 300 to shoot the white tail vermin in the yard in the head. It won't be long now, the bow season is already in now here in VA. I sold my M1A1 to a friend that was much younger and can still use the peeps. I used to be able to put the NATO in a 2" bull at 200yds, but not any more. If I get one, I'll post.
