[@speedloads2469]

Thanks @Vince Hughes!

[@YourselfAndEye]

I've been watching 20+ minute videos all day looking for the information you just gave me in 3 😂😂 Thank you so much

[@kuro243]

I love how to the point these videos are. Nothing but great content.

[@anonymouscitizen2732]

I must have watched ten videos before yours, and not one video answered my question until I viewed yours. Thank you. Your video should be at the top of the feed. I am now a subscriber.

[@speedloads2469]

@Ruben Rojas, awesome, thank you very much, spread the word!

[@stephensynergy]

Thank you, Mr. Beckstrand! Your explanations have been perfect and reassuring for the purchase I made of a Spuhr S-4616 ISMS for the Kahles 525i DLR 34mm tube Left windage optic to be mounted to the pic rail of a newly arriving Tikka T3X Tactical A1 with foldable stock. You are an excellent educator and expert!

[@raymonddekker9670]

Thank you so much!! Exactly what I was looking for. Was watching vids for days trying to figure out what Spuhr mount I need for my Precision 300 Win Mag + 50mm scope + Pulsar Krypton 2 Thermal attachment (future). Awesome!!

Glad I watches this before I ordered. Answered all the questions I have.

[@BKDawg]

Wow... This was the most informative scope mount related video i have ever watched on youtube. Thank you for sharing such important and critical information to us new shooters who need to get a better understanding on what scope mounts to go with!

[@speedloads2469]

Thanks @BK, I'm trying my best to dispel myths and educate folks

[@jrod6940]

Best videos on Spuhr Mounts! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for getting to the point and providing useful information. As other have pointed out, your video is the only useful one I've found.

[@speedloads2469]

Thank you very much @Silver N'Black, I'm trying to educate people the best I can.

[@peterschall2170]

[@hac198582]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@speedloads2469]

For sure @hac198582, thank you very much for your kind words

[@Greg_14826]

I'm late but about damn time I've come across a video that puts all models in one instruction on both continuous picatinny as well as traditional bolt. Will be sharing this

[@COUREURSdesBOIS88]

Outstanding explanation! Clear and concise!

[@speedloads2469]

Thank you very much @MikePel

[@BagsEsquire]

Awesome video. Super helpful. Been scouring the internet for guidance on what height Spuhr mount to get for my LPVO 28mm objective lens. Only curveball now was near the end about not going to low of a height because that can be an issue as well. Super helpful to also know the lowest height wouldn’t work for me because it’s a Trijicon.

[@edgerat]

GREAT video!

[@FrenchMastiff]

Thanks... very useful info !

[@jgrella8280]

Tom, you are the man!

[@speedloads2469]

Haha, thank you very much @jgrella8280

[@rickyyuen3370]

Thank you!!

[@MidwestPapa_715]

Excellent

[@Warthog71]

Good info. Helped me decide on my Spuhr mount height. Also, speaking of height; aside from shooting ergonomics and comb height, The main reason for the bell needing to be close to the barrel is to offer the ability to zero closer without the wasted elevation. Especially on a bolt action with a 20 or 30mm riser. I’m choosing the Spuhr with zero MOA because my 338 Lapua has a 30moa rail. Were I to add a higher mount, I’d run short on elevation trying to zero the scope at 100yds. Charlie Mike!

[@tiputipu777]

Some claim that you can pontetially get a flatter trajectory with a scope mounted higher. I used to have scopes as low as possible, now I use the 1.38 inch mount. No difference in zero, but my shooting ergonomics are improved with the slightly higher scope.

[@GoldenThomas]

Very big help! I wish I found this before I wasted my time on the first mount. HAHA. Thanks again.

[@cupcakefights]

Thank you so much sir, this was very helpful! Can I ask - do you teach classes? In Colorado ideally?

[@GroomsJk]

Another great video instruction. Thank you. I am looking to mount a Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56 to my factory AI AT308 w/20MOA low pic rail. Is 30mm 1.18" or 34mm 1.35" height preferable? Thanks - J

[@prepsho5007]

Thank You Sir!

[@speedloads2469]

Absolutely @Prep Sho, thanks for taking the time to watch

[@raydelfa1125]

I have a continuous pic rail on my DD Dd5 6.5 creedmore. My scope is a Sig sauar tango 6 with a 56 objective and 34 mm tube. What mount do i need? 1.5

[@jaxbeach09]

I’m about to purchase the Bergara HMR Pro with the heavy barrel which I believe has a #6 taper barrel. I plan on going with a scope that has 34mm tube and 56mm objective. Should I go with a 1.18” or 1.35” height?

[@nazarenosoto8845]

por faor podrias explicas como se usa el Spuhr Leveling Kit for Separate Ring? saludos y muchas gracias

[@nickc2124]

Would you recommend a 6002 for the Zero Comp 5-25x56 for a KRG Whiskey 3 chassis w/ enclosed fore end?

[@Howlin23]

I just bought an Eotech Clipir-eXLR thermal and was curious what height mount was needed. Sounds like the 1.5 based on this one!

[@TheKessi1000]

Could you answer a question for me please? I have a Scar 17, with a full rail going all but 2 inches from the end of the barrel (16"). I am purchasing a PMII 5x25x56 for mounting onto it. I am dead set on purchasing a Spuhr mount (for the build and reliability against the power of the Scar). I plan on shooting from 50-800 yards regularly. What would be the ideal Spuhr mount for this setup?

[@omarnijmeh7283]

Hey Tom, I just recently purchased a Scar 20s and have it equipped with a nightforce actar 5-25x56. I want to upgrade my mount. This video was very helpful... I am def leaning to buy a 1.5 in mount from spuhr. Can you please send me a link for mount with potential discount code. I know you work closely with the company. Thanks, Omar

[@reconhippy8352]

it helps

[@medicbrndn]

I may be missing something or just dumb but is the height they advertise in mm the height above the rail? If I had a 38mm with 20.6 MOA built in, would the eyepiece be 38mm or the objective lens?

[@leonelceballos3709]

Where can I get those covers for my nightforce 5.5-22x56

[@MISERSTYLE]

@speedloads So for a mk12 styled AR15 SPR rifle with a continuous Pic rail, scope is a Trijicon Credo 2.5 - 15 x 56mm, would you suggest the Spuhr SP-3002 Scope Mount Ø30 H38mm/1.5" 0MIL PIC scope mount?

[@covarrubias736]

What mount height do I need for my build action impact precision 737r SA an a vortex razor gen 2 4.5-27x56

[@davideustache4119]

Weatherby Mk V Accumark w/#3 contour. Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5×27×56. Also, who to shop with for my best deal. Thank you 👍👍

[@markeagling8549]

If I have a 20MOA rail can I still get 0 MOA uni mount? I have an AI AT and have had trouble in finding rings I have a schmidt and bender PM II 5x25 scope looking at sphur 4001 I believe 0 MOA 1.18"

[@glennwood3912]

Seekins havak HIT with Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR. 1.5 or 1.35 height? Thanks.

[@dragonflyfab9703]

Anything with about 1.8". 34mm tube?

[@joeh14]

Do these mounts work with AR DMR rifles?

[@68macun]

What about a 40 moa with a 56mm objective and sun shade 34mm tube

[@no1medic]

How is a guy spitting out this much knowledge, and only have 2.5 k subs ... baffling

[@speedloads2469]

@Nobody Tell all your friends!

[@hollowpoints9mill746]

What inch you recommend on a M1A LOADED for a 30mm scope

[@speedloads2469]

Hey @Hollowpoints9mill, thanks for your question. Can you be a little more specific? I'd love to help you out

[@JamesZJi]

will a higher mount reduce the scope elevation adjustment range?

[@LKN4WAR]

No a higher mount will ultimately allow you to have a lot of cant and larger objectives. Very high magnificent will limit elevation tho if using that magnification like 30x etc. the lack of enough MOA in the rail and or mount can limit the usable turret range by having x number of mils or moa below 100 yard zero for instance.

[@baghdik18]

which one to get for NF 7/35/56?

[@daveeydee87]

What the fuck is a 20 MOA Bias?? Dope

[@reconshide]

Awesome!

[@duckslayer11000]

If you not running a M24 or MTU contour on a precision rifle, your doing it wrong ;)

[@scrubbob9901]

EW KEYMOD!

[@speedloads2469]

@ScrubBob haha, well ...

[@recklessrt]

Looking at the online catalg for Optics Planet all the Spuhr heights are expressed in Metric. Even in this video the scope's bell size is expressed in MM but the narrator insists on using Inches. Really? Sure this helps but how about being consistent? Yes its an easy conversion but the narrator is sloppy despite his great resume.

[@nickc2124]

rick hess Spuhr also also expresses their mounts in inches. This man is from America. America uses SAE. Hence why this man uses inches. Glad I connect the dots for you...
