Is the ATACR 1-8 ffp worth it?

[RobMa]

You might nor be happy with how much it weighs.

I'm already running an Elcan Spectre on a 16" so I'm OK with that

NF offers a mil/le discount that'll save you about $600 bucks on the atacr 1-8, in case you didn't know.

OK I finally picked this up, now I need your opinions on what mount to get:

AUS™ MOUNT - 34MM DIAMETER - 39MM HEIGHT - Reptilia

Introducing the AUS Mount for 34mm diameter magnified optics, from Reptilia. Driven by the request of an end user group, the AUS Mount is the culmination of a 2 year development program. Like our DOT Mount line the AUS Mount attaches to any M1913 Picatinny rail via our anti-snag spring-loaded...

All the hip kids are getting the really tall mounts these days so they can use their night vision goggles.

I have my NF 2.5-10 on a NF mount.
Even at 1.93" tall it's still about 6 oz.
No NV, I just prefer taller mounts.

I bought a LaRue 1.93" mount not too long ago, but before the price increase (they are 400 bucks now) to try that height. I am not digging it, so will probably put it up for sale/trade soon. But that's just personal prefernce. I will probably end up with a 1.5" nightforce mount In its place.

A YHM .5" riser is about $40
I got one to try with a 1.4" and 1.5" mount before spending a few hundred on one.

I have a Swampfox mount that's 1.6" that has offset red dot mounting (RMR) on the caps that is a nice mount for the price.

I would suggest our Warne XSKEL. When we engineered these, we engineered them for 3-gun shooters who we knew would beat the crap out of them regularly. We knew they would want something lightweight but not too light that they would lose zero under actual extreme use. They are lightweight and stronger than they need to be. They are precision CNC machined 6061 aluminum reinforced with steel inserts for the cap screws. We specialize in scope mounts, not scopes or gun parts. Engineered, tested, and manufactured here in Oregon for over 30 years.






Here is one on a 50



We also have our Skyline Precision Mounts, which are designed for long-range precision shooters with extra features as an option.
