Sportsmatch "Adjustable" Scope Mounts ?

[Blackrider]

How secure are they once the scope has been zeroed and the locking screws have been tightened, do they weaken with time or number of shots ?
Never had one but I may partake as the principal is sound !

I have them on most of my rifles, I use the ATP65/66 ones, absolutely brilliant, I optically centre the scope then zero the rifle on the mounts to within a few mm's then use the scope to fine adjust!

Bearing in mind most of them are on springers I would have no worries at all about them moving, none of mine do.

Thanks AB, it is Springers I'm thinking about and a few Rammers !

I use ATP61 with 30mm/1" converter shells to mount my Bushnell on a short stroked HW97 action I have never had any issue with the mounts moving. I use a recoil stop to ensure they do not shift on the dovetail, but have never seen the vertical adjustment move once it's been set.

Agreed. I use the ATP66 on 2 TX200s with no problem at all. Make sure you undo the locking screws correctly when adjusting.

All sounds good so far !
