Good review. I think it's worth mentioning that Leapers (the parent company) has a branch of made in USA products, under the UTG Pro name, if that's the deciding criteria. Aside from that they offer a lifetime guarantee on their stuff, and do offer a nice veteran discount. Most gun parts suffer from expensive price tags due to needless marketing wank. If the product meets the minimum requirements for its intended role then price and brand name are stupid criteria for dictating selection.
@@CDOES No problem... FWIW, I have zero relation the their company, and I don't think I own any of their gear, except maybe an A2 buttstock kit from years ago? Either way, I just hate marketing wank, and how much it factors into product prices being 2-3x what they really are "worth".
60€ non clamp and 100€ clamped in the eurozone - used it with a Strike Eagle on XCR-L for almost 3 years. Has more recoilstuds than most other in the market and kept Zero on .308 Savage MSR 10. In the meantime I was converted by Hakan Spuhr and Eratac/Recknagel … those are by no means superior …
It wouldn’t take much for them to improve I definitely bought some junk from them in the past thinking I was saving money only to buy something that actually works to replace
The truth is I'm constantly flummoxed and mystified regarding mounts and their prices. I buy expensive ones AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I just assume they're of better quality, but I have no metrics to determine quality (except perhaps running a lapping bar through the rings -- but there's also a wide price range among lapping bars!!!). I come away (quite convincingly) feeling I've been made a fool of.
My biggest concern is durability. Not just on this one, but all cantilever mounts. I know it's not your thing C-does, but I'd like to see all mounts endure torture testing. I'm mainly worried about bending of the front extension. If the optic survives a fall, but the mount bends, that's no bueno. 6061 is bubblegum soft, and yet there are $500 mounts made out of it. 7075 is stronger than SOME steels and "near as makes no difference" has the same cost and machining time. If the Swampfox freedom mount got rid of those damn scope ring tapes from the 1990s it might stand a chance of being the best. Aside from Swampfox, 7075 starts at $300, on a good day. Why the hell the industry hasn't gone to making everything out of 7075, I'll never know. The stuff I make doesn't need that kind of structural integrity, but I still use 7075 for everything. Anyway, if anyone can point me towards some good torture testing videos for mounts, I'd appreciate it.
I have a couple of these and they’ve been working great for me. One for a scope I use when testing accuracy of my loads and goes on/off often. Holds zero.
I really like your videos and the return to zero test, but maybe it could be improved. I also own some of these mounts and I noticed some shift (2-3 inches) in elevation when making the first shot. After that the scope is spot on again. It would be nice if you could do a shot between removing/installing the mount.
I would love if you could review the Monstrum Deadlock 1.5 to 1.93 mounts.. I just bought the 1.93 and it feels solid as hell but it's my first mount and my first scope and I haven't even shot it yet :)
I've used LaRue mounts for decades, but they've gone full retard on their prices. Lookin for options and got pointed here. Will def consider these on secondary builds.
LaRue is NOT 🤢 good mount. The camming mechanism will gouge underneath side of rail and progressively become looser every time you dismount and remount and if you adjust cam to be tighter it will then again gouge even deeper. For nice upper that's monolithic this kind of mount is absolutely garbage and unacceptable. it's like installing new rim that will progressively damage your new car. retarded design. newer bobro mount with Integrated recoil lug or adm is way to go.
It's great to see some more budget mounts getting such good reviews from multiple sources. On a different topic, any chance you'll review the new Swamp Fox Tomahawk II with the Fiber dot? I'm wondering how it compares to the PA Nova and PST II and you have the best optic reviews on YT.
Im all about saving money and dont care about made in china, but I gotta say the tolerences and qc isnt there. The sprocket retaining screw for the quick release was misaligned letting the sprocket free spin
I have one of these on my SPR along with an RMR mount and I have to say... Usually when you get something made of Chinesum, Picatinny usually means weaver... Leapers actually makes these to Picatinny spec, on my Aero Precision M4E1 upper, there was nearly ZERO slop in the mount/rail interface. The RMR mount is solid also, I used it to mount a Holosun 508t as my backup optic. Great for the price.
Thats certainly a good looking mount. I've tried a UTG mount before with good results. I dont recall the model. It was their 30 mm offset Q.D. mount. I found it to be well made and finished. I liked the design but the one issue was the base was just 6-8 mm/ 5/16" too long to allow room for my BUIS. It adjusted and mounted easily and locked securely. I really liked the locking lever operation. Not as beefy as I'd like but they locked and unlocked easily with 1 hand. Repeatability was good, not 100% but always returned to within 1" at 100 meters. My main misgivings about the inexpensive Chinesium mounts is that they're made from suspect materials. Idk if its cast aluminum or just some certain alloy that is just lighter than typical US produced but somehow these mounts are noticeably lighter than their high end US made counterparts. The hardware also tends to be smaller and somewhat suspect as well. All in all though, I gotta say the things work and work well. Would I carry it into battle? Probably not if I had a choice but for anything short of that I think they're a viable alternative for anyone on a budget. They work. Now, given my preference, I'll take my go-to Q.D. mounts which are the American Defense Manufacturing recon Q.D. mounts. I now have 5 of them in both 30 mm and 34 mm models. They typically run about $155 to $185 or so which is considerably less than LaRue, Bo Bro, G,G&G, and others. The ADM recon is a hoss of a mount. Big and beefy all around including the hardware. And you can be assured it's all high grade and properly hardened. The recon is skeletonized and milled out where possible but nevertheless it's a bit heavier than many due to its heavy duty 3 piece vertically split ring design and extremely strong base and clamp design. I use the 2-clamp models but ADM does offer single clamp models as well. As beefy as they are the single clamp models would be more than adequate and substantially lighter however I prefer the extra stability and redundancy of the double locker. The locking clamp design is my only complaint with the recon. They adjust easily and clamp securely with minimal effort but unlocking can be difficult when properly adjusted for maximum clamping. I find it takes 2 hands to easily accomplish, 1 to depress the locking lever and the other to lift the clamping lever. I have 3 older models that operate as described and 2 newer redesigned models that are a bit easier to unclamp. Performance wise these mounts are unbeatable. The ring design accommodates any misalignments or manufacturing imperfections with the scope body, holds securely and mounts quickly and easily. I've found repeatability among all 5 of my mounts to be 100% or so close to it I cant notice the difference. Return to zero is always within the normal accuracy range of the rifle and ammo I'm using at the time so I'd call that 100%. You do have to exercise care when mounting for perfect RTZ. Just always use the same technique. Mount into the same Picatinny slot, apply forward and laterall pressure towards clamps and clamp the rear clamp first, then the front and wango-tango, ready to bango! She'll return to within 3-5 mm/ 3/16" of previous zero if not closer, every time. All in all these are my preferred mounts. Rock solid operation and 100% repeatability coupled with to hell and back reliability and durability for considerably less than most makes the ADM recon the only one I need. If you can swing the price of admission I HIGHLY recommend the ADM recon. However, if you're on a tight budget and just cant part with almost 2 large, the UTG Q.D. mounts are a viable option imo.
I moved to a single clamp ADM from my fixed UTG. I find that you don't need the clamp set to be that tight to ensure security. I zeroed, removed it to zero a PRO and reattached it with an almost perfect rtz (no sled to confirm, just bag). This is set to one-handed tightness. One more 1/8 clocking of the nut renders it stupidly tight and I don't think it's necessary. I would probably have got the UTG QR if I had known it existed, as the only reason for the change was I actually needed QD for this rifle. Luckily the ADM was only $120 so I'm not especially sad. The UTG will get a home elsewhere. I just dislike the styling a lot.
@@sluttybutt - roger that. Yeah on my 3 original ADM recon Q.D. mounts the adjustments are a little coarse, so on my FN M4 RECCE my choice is a little loose to the point the 1 clamp couldnt hold tight enough to prevent movement (tiny bit forehand aft. The play between lug and Pic rail teeth) or a little too tight, requiring 2 hands to remove. Realistically, even set a little loose, by the time the other clamp was engaged the mount would be rock solid but for the sake of a "bomb proof" setup I go a little too tight. Both my 34 mm mounts are the newer models with finer adjustments so those can be set perfectly. Plus their redesigned locking latch is easier to use 1 handed. Regardless the ADM recons are my mount of choice. $120 was a GREAT deal! Was that a sale or used? Think I paid $150 for my 30 mm models and $165 for both my 34 mm models.
@@sluttybutt - btw the Q.D. UTG I have is made and works quite well. I really like the operation of the clamps and clamp locks. They're easily adjusted and 1 hand operable though not as beefy as I prefer. My only real complaint with the mount is with the length of the base. It's just a little too long to allow room for my Magpul MBUIS. It's a great mount especially for the $52 I paid for it on sale from Primary Arms a few years back.
They need to make these with more options for the height - some people like 1.93 - I think that’s too high - I like more like 1.6…but still, they’d probably sell more if they had more options. Also, call me crazy, but I bet a simple “thumb nut” version (like the Weaver thumb nut mounts) would fly off the shelves if they could sell them for like $50.
Ok you engaged nerd/dork mode here. What type of model trains... oddly I find model trains and guns to be my two favorite hobbies for the fact of details, variables, specs..
Should I send you my EO tech 34mm QD mount or do you have one in the works already?? I can’t complain about it but it has only one latch and only one pic slot and that made me too nervous to keep a 2000$ piece of glass in it
I enjoy your reviews, can you add one thing to them? Maybe use the wheeler delta scope mounting kit to see if the rings are aligned or if they shift when clamped down. That way we can see if the mount will put stress on the scope when mounted.
I could be wrong, but it looks like the kick release levers face each other like that to reduce snag points. I have quick detach mounts that have both levers pointing at the same direction and they snag a lot!
@@johndecker9983I used to work for AR15discounts as an armorer and the leapers/UTG hand guards were some of the best I've built for customer custom builds. The barrel nut is very easy to time and they provide all the wrenches.
Lighter stronger prettier and more repeatable than Warne's X-Skel QD(in my experience) at half the price. I have a few of these and love them. If only they made them in a 20moa incline. Sure there are better mounts, but not even close in price.
The non QD was my first mount. Never failed, still have it. Just don't use it because I feel bad about putting a cheaper chinese part on my nicer guns.. lol. Wouldn't mind using it if it were my only option though.
6oz QD mounts are extremely light!! The lightest mount I was able to find was the Swampfox Freedom at 5.5oz. - so half an oz more for QD? Pretty great. Fit n finish is also very nice.
@@AdministrativeReload I sure am. I like Aero, I have some aero parts no complaints, its not personal but scopes need a certain amount of surface area contact with the mount to perform well. EVERY SINGLE other scope manufacturer makes them a certain size for a reason. You can not simple cut the rings by a 2/3's and expect them to hold the same way. If yours work fine, terrific. But let me ask you this....since weight is a concern for 90% of AR users....why aren't ALL professionals shooters, competitors and every other shooter just running Aero mounts to save 3-6oz off the weight of their mounts? It seems like a no brainers right? Its bc they fail....a lot. I'd LOVE it they worked perfectly! I am trying to cut every last oz off my 18" SPR. Also its a matter of physics. You may be running an extremely lightweight scope (SFP, low mag, etc) which require less surface area due to the lighter weight. I am running a 3-18x MPVO. If a lightweight mount comes out that works perfectly you can expect it to cost nearly $500. Scope makers RIP US OFF bc we got conditioned to pay $300-$400 for quality mount. Meanwhile China cloned the Badger mount for $50 and they are amazing quality!!!! Badger mounts likely cost about $25 to make and their mark up is 1500% - its bonkers. So a lightweight quality mount would run $500 EASY!!

I wish UTG would make something like these in a 1.93” ring height to accommodate my massive head behind the optic.
The play in the levers would drive me nuts but looks like a solid mount overall! UTG has really stepped up their game over the last few years
You only notice it if you really look for it. It's solid overall

UTG is said to be airsoft tier, whereas UTG Pro is a distinct line that seems to qualify well for real use.
The basic UTG stuff is still basic. The premium "UTG Pro" branded stuff is good.
Oh dang face reveal
