Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Which forever scope mount ?

Since I'm starting to down size, and going through stuff, I'm refining what I am wanting to keep.
What I am keeping, I'm going to change scopes to what I have learned I like, and in my budget.
I may change a scope or 2 to Nightforce, but Leupold's have served me well.
So, with all this in mind, the question now comes to mind, mounts.
What would you guys choose for mounts ?
I have talley's on most, and Leupold dual dove tails on some.
In my box of bases, and rings, I have a long action Conetrol set. Would this be better, strong, worry free, forever, over say, the dd's.

There are so many mounts out there, and I've learned I DON'T like separate bases, and rings that clamp like Weaver, Burris, Warne, etc.

Gimme some of what you guys use for your forever, mount, and forget set ups.

Spuhr, Masterpiece Arms, Near Mfg and Aadmount rings and mounts to name a few.

Leupold backcountry's are looking good.
Any one have a review of them ?
Googled, and found some chatter from here.
Pricey, but nice.

Near Alphahunter..nothing remotely close in quality and design. Cry once

Don't like that Near mount at all.
The Redhawks looks nice, but no need for a level I'm not sure I could see, or want to take my off the target to make sure I'm level.
Might be good while mounting a scope tho.

Seekins bases and rings on all my serious rifles. I also bed the rails.

A good-quality rail from one of several manufacturers and Burris XTR Sig rings.

I dont, and haven't liked the rail and rings thing.
Had that kinda set up on a 300 rum, and soon changed to dual dove tails.
Made my scope sit too high to me.

Wheres everyone's scope mount comments ?
Everyone using clamp on mounts ?
Where are the conetrol pics ?

I use a rail and Seekins rings on everything my friend...

Ditto. Preferably a rail with lugs or pins.

Adjust cheekweld to suit. Lots of options out there.

I have Talley bases and Talley rings. I have one set of Leupold dual dove tails on a Kleinguenther K-15. If you have Talleys and dual dove tails you should be fine.

I have Burris signature Zee rings on several Savage 99’s. They seem to be real good!

If you don't plan on ever removing the scope, Leupold Double Dovetail basses with Burris Signature Double Dovetail rings. Using the offset inserts to set your scope up as close as possible to your zeroed range with the scope reticle centered. Leupold Double Dovetail bases look better than the Burris, used with the Burris Signature rings its a really nice looking set-up.

You're excluding many many excellent mounts that are coming highly recommended, so that's going to limit the discussion considerably.


There's Talley LW, Leupold Backcountry, and Deadnutz.

What else?


The Leupolds do look good to me, but, forever means Picatinny.

Talleys haven't failed me, nor have the dual dove tails, so I think I'll just stick with what works for me.

I do like the looks of the back countries, but I'm too cheap to pay that much for machines Talleys.

Talley signature bases and screw lock rings.

Talley lightweights, for me at least, have taken a serious beating. I also attach all my bases with loctite, not just the screws but the bases themselves.

Dual Doves are my favorite for hunting guns.

Just don't like the height of the rail set ups unless I've got an adjustable cheek piece.

I'd like to see more folks ditch the Picadilly standard height and make lower rails. That'd be a good thing.
