    Adjustable mounts

    Considering an adjustable mount the only makes I have seen are BSA and Sportsmatch, question is though are they similar in construction and adjustment and how easy/difficult are they to set up correctly and once set do they retain the correct setting.
    Are there any other makes available.

    I use b-square adjustable mounts which are a pain to set up but you only have to do them once, I would highly recommend them but I have no experience with any others.

    There's very little similarity between the Sportmatch and B-Squares. I tend to prefer the Sportsmatch as they are more robust. Both fully adjustable types are a bit of a pain to set up IMO. My favourites are the ATP061 which are only adjustable for elevation. Be warned though, they are a little on the high side for many applications.
    The best and least fussy adjustables that I've used are the Burris Signature Zee rings, the downside being that they don't seem to make them for standard airgun dovetails. They do make a dovetail model, I have a set, but they are far too wide for any airgun I've got.

    I recently bought a set of Anschutz adjustable mounts off here.

    At £80 they were expensive but they are the best adjustable mounts I have yet seen. Looking at them they look not unlike Apel rings.

    The adjustments are simple but tough and reliable - well worth the money.

    only my opinion, but i dont think you need them for hft or hunting, only really come into there own on FT setups so you can get your ret. dead centre, if there good mounts like sportsmatch apt61 you shoundnt need windage on them either, start getting too fiddley.
