    Hi hurricane...I'm tempted by a connect for my wingmaster but aren't sure about the mounting options with the high magazine. I like the look of the mounts you used on your airwolf in these pictures, are they the spotsmatch ones?
    Happiness...is a warm gun!!!

    Sorry only just seen your post.
    The mount I've used is a guntuff one supplied by our sponsers JSR, needed a bit of machinning to fit.

    Here's a closer look
    http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/u...ectGuntuff.jpg
    The front was roughly cut back with hacksaw and then (roughly ) cleaned up with powerfile, the rear was roughly cut with hacksaw then machined on mill to give 0.5mm clearance.
    You will note the large clearance to mag, about 6mm, (this mount is for up to 56mm scopes) works fine for me but not to everybodies likeing.
    An easier alternative would be to use combined upright/reachforward(rearward) mount on front part of tube only, this would need about 25mm underside of hole to underside of dovetail. Last time I looked I think scscopes(? ) chinese supplier on bay had something. Have you asked gary/sammie, I would have thought they had it sorted by now.

    I had been considering one of these scopes for ages but had been put off by the mag issue on my Daystates. Gary and Sammie kindly bought one to a show recently and fitted it to a Mk4 with a pair of high mounts. In the ideal position for me it worked perfectly with the mag sliding in between the mount and the objective bell. Eye relief was perfect - the scope was a lot further forward than in Hurricane's pic and a bit lower.

    Waiting for mine to be delivered

    My scope is set up (for me) for standing and sitting shots, so it may well be further back than if using prone.
