I totally agree. He knows his stuff and his stuff works.

Wes has top notch service as well and he does'nt mind spending the time on customers. Something so many online stores don't even bother with.

Let us know how you like the PRI mount. IRRC, I think Wes had something to do with it's initial design.

Take care....

Congratulations Joe.

Thank you all for your advice you are absolutely right about Wes, great guy.

Okay here are some photos of it I know you have all seen one before but I just have to share the love (the misses doesn't appericate it as much as you all will).

Oh BTW while mounting the sight my dumb ass put to much pressure on one of the torq's and snapped it inside the mount. The good news is, Wes said it is alright and that 3 out of the 4 torq's will hold it sufficiently to shoot tomorrow...feeeww I thought I really screwed up.

Anyways enjoy all, also if you have any tips on a better photo i.e. more light or use of a tripod let me know.

Last one I don't want the Team Sergeant getting pissed at me for waisting bandwith

SJ,
the pics look fine and show what you want them to. i like the top pic better because of the uncluttered background and lighting. the bottom one has some glare (using a flash?). try a couple of daylight shots with a neutral background, on a bright overcast day (to minimize shadows). also experiment with different angles besides straight side shots. you can also place the rifle away from the background so that less shadows are cast (like placing the stock and the barrel on two chairs and shooting towards the ground).
when it comes to lighting to show product detail (not arsty shots), think bright and diffused.
good job! oh, and nice setup! the irons co-witness ok? how do you like the sight picture?
cheers,
MM

NDD,
Thank you, I plan to bet may hours of fun out of it.

MM,
Yup, the GG&G M.A.D. co-witness almost perfectly. Flipping up the rear sight and acquiring a "normal sight picture" the red dot sits point of aim point of impact (like the dot on a standard glock sight). I have not shot it yet so I don't know for sure, but tomorrow I will be able to report how "out of the box" close it is to perfectly co-witnessed.

I will also play around with some more pics later. Thanks again for the advice.

No new photos yet. (I know your all on the edge of your seats for my lastest work of art)

I got a chance to shoot the Aimpoint sunday. It took a little getting used to the adjustment with it being L/up and R/up I'm used to the standard windage and elevation, but no BFD.

The site is great I couldn't believe how quick it is. Moving and engaging multiple targets wow, good stuff.

Thank you all for you input and recommedations on the Aimpoint, I am extremely happy with it.

I read about the New "F" updates on their website, but does anyone know where to get one?

You post the pics, I take care of the bandwidth.

(We've got no bandwidth problem.)

Joe-
I am not familiar with the aimpoint mount, but from the looks of things(thanks to your new found detailed online picture taking expertise) it may be very easy to remove that broken bolt and replace it.

It appears to be sticking out far enough out of the bottom of the mount to take a dremmel or something similar and put a single slit in the protruding bolt end that is stivking out of the bottom. Make it wide enough for a small screwdriver to fit and then just continue to screw the remaining piece of the bolt out of the bottom of the mount. I am sure you could get a replacement torq bolt and your new sight would be good as new.

Just a suggestion, hope it works. No shame there, that sounds exactly like something I would do/have done when trying "home plumbing 101" with compression fitting connections.
"if this tight is good, why not turn it one more.... SNAP!! " LOL

Joe,
Your MAD look cock-eyed to me

I will get a pic of it flat on a receiver tomorrow.



Ditto to Wes - both excellent products and helpful info

Pics did not go direct?

Size restriction?

Good suggestion. That or lock it up with a set of locking pliers and unscrew it.

So, Toothpuller, you got much experience with a Dremel tool or high speed drill?

TR

Great Idea DOC but I don't have enough material sticking out the bottom to do it....its most likely going to be a drill job
