    I worry that any small amount of wear between the rails and mount will throw the POI all over the place.

    for sure... that reminds me of the folks who make (DIY) sledge type "recoiless" springers, and put the scope mount onto the static "casing". Any wear between the runners for the action will cause POI shifts...

    Correct Jon

    I am talking from bitter experience gained on my recoiless b2.

    The scope mounts shown being closer together than the bearings on my b2 will be more susceptible to poi shift with wear.

    Yes a bit of time testing and they are not cheap to take a risk, they look cool though

    Do you think that the bullseye is more robust shown in this clip.

    Hi Barry

    I think that one could still have the same problems after it's worn a little, but as I said earlier, time will tell.



    All the best Mick
