Thanks it's a really great looking mount. I'm going to order 1 and see how it works.

I think the hunting mount on a shorter scope is pretty nice. I now have two of the bigger mounts on my rifles for the extra cant, and to have 2 scopes setup the same.

For hunting the only thing I prefer on the larger mount is the built in level, I hate dealing with a level hanging off a scope on a hunting gun.

Yep, looks to be out of stock.
I got a set from them a few days ago when I saw them in stock even though I don’t need them (yet) just wanted their or when I grab another tikka. I wonder if a bunch of other folks had the same idea.

He has to84s I stock, better order a few sets, I just did. Got another set in the mail today from a different vendor too.
Just tried their website. Says sold out. I have 1 set in reserve.

I had some trouble with AOA years back. Hopefully someone else picks up the torch.

Maybe give AOA another try, I was having issues with them too, my credit card wasn’t going through over the internet. A five minute phone call had the credit card stuff cleared up and a set of to84s on the way. Never had any other business with them though since I don’t shoot BB guns.

I ordered a 1” sportsmatch set from airguns of Arizona. Had to call because multiple cards wouldn’t go through online.
With my cards that usually means the vendor has had card security issues in the past and has a higher security level.
Hopefully that is the case and I don’t have to cancel a card from fraudulent charges

Figured I would update. Received the Sportsmatch no issues and got them installed.
They are nice rings and the rail seems pretty true combined with a quality made ring.
The scope mounting tubes with a point line up which is pretty nice. Typically I will lap the bottom half of rings to create clearance them skim bed the bottom half per Jim See method with JB well quik.
I wanted to shoot and get some rounds down the barrel so I mounted the scope without bedding and was debating if I wanted it a little further forward.
Have now taken it back off and moved the rear mount forward so I can move the scope forward 1/4” or so.
I’m sure they will hold fine without bedding.
Any thoughts to bed or reinstall torque to 20 ish in-lbs and not worry about it?

I've got a couple sets of SM;s on my Tikkas and never bedded any of them. They work great on my buddy's 7Mag, my 7-08, and 6.5CM and seem to be durable.

i have these on both my tikkas and just ordered a 3rd set for another one inbound.
What cartridge and round count? Any issues with the Leupolds? I may be longer for an alternative to the Sportsmatch. Thanks.

one is 6.5 creed and other is 300wsm. relatively low round counts on each, break in, sight in, get some dope, etc. i just like the combined ring and mount, less to align, come loose, etc. no issues but no heavy use.

@davsco. That’s what I was looking for. They don’t utilize the rail? They use the mounting holes in the receiver? Do they have a recoil pin? Thanks.

for those wanting sportsmatch if Arizona airguns is out of stock call them and you can preorder over the phone and when they get their next shipment in, they will ship em out right to you. I've done that twice of the last 6 months and it was usually 2-4 weeks. call them though and they will give you an eta.
