Will this affect my zero/accuracy?

[Illuminaughty]

Recently picked up a new cantilevered scope/mount for my 308 and the cantilevered arm seems to me making too much contact with the picatinny rail. While I don't care for the aesthetics of it touching the pic rail, I'm curious it it would negatively impact holding zero? Thanks for any thoughts or feedback. Pics of mount attached.

Does it touch with the optic mounted?

I'd be willing to be mounting the scope pulls the cantilevered part inline.

Hmm… will mount later tonight and report back!

How tall is it?
Looks like it has Torx plus screws.
I almost buggered one with a regular Torx bit.

Looks like its sitting on the receiver and not the barrel. I would guess it wouldn't but it may be tough on the scope if the recoil impulse bangs against the cantilever.

I run three different cantilever mounts and none do what yours is doing. Only one way to find out if that will have issues. Shoot it.

none of my scopes would work with that one. Any bell to the scope is going to touch as well.

 

[Kruel J]

I wouldn't run that setup.

I wouldn't run that setup.

Nor would I, that is a stupid mount.

I'd buy a different mount personally.

I dont see any point in a cantilever that sits on the rail. Is it supposed to be mounted on a riser?
What brand of mount is that?

Id return it. I wouldnt use it like that.

 

[Illuminaughty]

Update: mounted and it did not improve, still making contact.

Going to promptly return and get a different mount. Not going to risk my $500 optic on this crap-o-la.

Appreciate all the feedback gents!

ps. buy American, folks.

No riser to my knowledge.. brand is Monstrum, Pro Line no less LOL.

Been eyeballing a Gieselle mount instead. Anyone have any mounts they enjoy? Will be holding a Swampfox Kentucky Long 3-18, on top of an Aero M5…

Do yourself a favor and don't buy an Aero Precision Ultralight mount either.

If you're talking about that kind of price tag, I'd suggest going with Badger Ordnance C1 mount over Geissele.

Seems like it would work for a 1-4 or 1-5, possibly a 1-8x LVPO where there's no flare on the objective lens.

@Illuminaughty
Is this the mount: https://monstrumtactical.com/pro-series-7075-aluminum-scope-mount/
Looks like there are two models. Maybe you swap for the one that has higher clearance?

Based on the 3rd picture in the above link, it would appear you have it mounted correctly, and is working as intended.

Monstrum is a budget brand marketed for amazon stores. If your on that kind of budget get a Primary Arms mount, cheap but they work.

A step up in quality without breaking the bank get a Warne mount, around $150.

 

[powermad]

I have Nightforce, Midwest Industries and Swampfox mounts.
The NF and MWI are 1.93", the Swampfox is 1.6"
The Swampfox will be getting swapped out for a 1.93" as well, most likely a Badger Ordnance, which is just a bit cheaper than a NF or Geissele.

Appreciate the heads up

$150 I can do, thanks for the Warne recommendation.
