I wonder if that mount is made in the U.S.?? Just curious.

It doesn't say on the mount, and I didn't save the packaging.

Made in China

I kind of assumed that at that price. It would be a steal if American made! I don’t think there’s anything foreign made on my AR up to this point. The Steiner optic says made in USA on it but I’m sure some of the parts were most likely shipped here. I will spring for a good ol USA made QD quality scope mount though. Just something I believe in ... even if it does cost a considerable bit more.

I have a friend whose rifles change POI every time he takes them out to make sure they are on, I told him its the rifle gnomes in his gun safe. I don't have the gnomes I guess, I use LaRue, Seekins, Badger and those bottom feeders AeroPrecision mounts. IIRC it was TWR who might have said "cheap parts work fine until they don't", I don't want the don't to happen when it just can't....

My Steiner P4Xi came in. The glass is impressive! Love the brightness of the dot in daylight. Good reticle overall. Only complaint is maybe it’s weight. Ended up ordering the ADM Recon QD mount with tactical levers for it. As soon as my mount arrives I’ll get it dialed in but so far I suspect I’ll be happy with this setup. I have some Troy flip-up battle sights coming with the mount ... I plan on shooting some with the irons too. The QD mount will allow me to change between the two and hopefully the Steiner will return to zero when I choose to use it.

The Troy flip ups are handy to have fun with if nothing else, the ADM mount returns to zero just fine as long as you leave the adjustment and position the same as well as shoving it forward before locking the levers. I have had mine off and on so many times, I don't even check zero anymore.

I'd bet that he fires 3 shot groups.

When we started zeroing at work using 10 shot groups the time it took us to get a group zero'd was easily cut in half.

but don't you think its better to shoot 5 rifles at 50 yards one shot at a time until it gets near the center and then one more round to confirm, then go on to the next one? You get more done this way! Now you have 5 rifles that are dead on instead of wasting 10 cartridges on one gun!!! Blue your preaching to the choir, people who know a lot about something that they know nothing about take offense easily so mostly I keep my mouth shut when shooting with experts, and shoot 10 rounds.
