Guys I am still in the debate on which 20MOA mount to buy (this time I only want just 30mm 20MOA mount).
So my scope is Vortex 3x-15 Viper PST II which I bought for around $1k
The 30mm 20MOA mount from Geissele is around $350 its feaking A LOT! And it is 7075 aluminum. Some people say it has to be just that mount and nothing else.
But the way I think is... my scope if I am correct is not 7075, so why does mount need to be sturdier than scope? if something happens then scope is gone and the fact that mount is still there doesnt give me anything.
in other words - it is over designed for such scope.
so do i really need to cash out for this mount or is it really overkill?
If it IS overkill, please recommend 20MOA mount which IS worth it
(i currently have some nikon mount which i bought in store for $80, what i like about it is its 5oz only; but since im doing complete rifle remake i am thinking should i keep using it or buy something even more higher level?)
