[stix213]

I just use the K-var side mount on mine. Haven't had any issues.

Amusingly enough that part is listed as not available/in-stock. Apropos for this thread.

Whoa! that page did not look like that earlier today sorry

I got the tws and I love the darn thing. It sits on my bulgy74 cant say anything as to how well its gonna hold up over time but my aimpoint sits nice n low with it.
let me know how the one on the s308 works out for you when you get it.

NorCal,

OP have you given much thought for the Midwest side rail?

I have what may be a dumb question:

What's the difference between these mounts and other mounts available for much cheaper.

If you go to the Carolina shooters. Supply website, they have several mounts in the $30-$50 range. I imagine they must be of decent quality, since CSS is a reputable supplier.

Anyone???

The mounts I am talking about are these:

Side mount, quick release, $34.95

Another side mount, $49.95

Beryl style mount, $39.95

What advantage do the $100+ mounts have over these?

I just got a Saiga 308, and am looking for a mount to add a scope.

The UTG mounts (the first one you posted) are made a not-so-strong metal. They are also really heavy.

I have one if you want it, I won't use it.

I don't have any information on the other two you posted.

Sure, I'll try it if you are willing to let it go. Thanks! I'll send you a PM.

I had the UTG mount on my Saiga for a while. It was ok, held zero, but I did have to crank down the tension screw just about everytime I took it off for cleaning. Ended up selling it with the rifle.


I wouldnt get another one. Damn thing sits way to high

I have the UTG on my S308. Works great. Centers perfectly over bore centerline unlike many other mounts out there. I you're using a scope with high magnification, its fine. However, if you're using a red dot or a low profile scope, it can be a bit high.

Not sure of this one.

Beryl style mount, $39.95

I had the SGM Tactical version of this mount. The only problem with this is that you lose the use of your irons.

I like the new Midwest rail because it sits low which is great for a low profile optic. They also have rail for a 30mm red dot that is also good.
