    Brownell's seems to always have awesome discount codes too. I added some cleaning patches to the shopping cart and used "H7L" for $20 off on a $200+ order to get the match series 16" gunner for ~$170.

    I also used the same code on a second order to get the faxon 15" carbon fiber handguard for $260 shipped.

      This is the second time I have heard of a crappy Aero precision mount. They are Do Not Purchase as far as I am concerned.

      I will probably be going GG&G for my build.

          The Aero mounts do fine on an AR-15 - I have them on 2 Grendels and my 22 Nosler and nothing has budged a micron. Putting them on a large frame AR is a different story, but I had the scope in the mount so decided to roll with it knowing it could be a problem.

Upgraded to UPS to take the free USPS final delivery out of the equation since I'm under a bit of a time constraint - and I had a tracking number in 56 minutes! And this is when you'd think they'd be backed up a little since everyone waits for their sales (in this case I just lucked out that it was sale time). On a Friday afternoon when happy hour has already started in North Wales, PA......
              Maybe dykem the rails and the inside of the rings and see if anything moves? Maybe the rings need lapping? I was eyeing the AP mounts and trying to decide on a optic as I want matched pairs in a big a tube as possible of course. Thanks for the heads up!

                      I guess this uses the 0.125" boltface depth. Columbia only mentions 0.125" for the 264 LBC.

                        Correct

                            These aren't bad:



                            Use code JINGLE for another 10% off.

                              That scope weighs 35 ounces? No, I don't think the Aero mount would hold it. I'd want wider rings and maybe more than two. A lightweight scope in that lightweight mount on the other hand, seems to work well.

                                An Aero Ultralight has held a 37 ounce Bushnell Elite XRS on my 22" Grendel with zero issues.

                                I think it's a recoil thing on the large frame platform, but wouldn't rule out a combination of how the Aero's mount to the rail and maybe even a little bit of slop in the rail of the Aero upper. The Geissele mount fits in there firm! My new motto is no Aero products in large frame.
