I am in the middle of a 458 socom build And looking for the equivalent of a 1 inch Burris pepr mount and was wondering if there was either a lighter one at its price point or a cheaper alternative?
Vortex, Warne, Burris, Aero. Those are my low cost go-to mounts.
If a friend gave me a set of Nikon P mounts, I’d unfriend them on social media and block their phone number.
I’ve got a couple of the Redfield SPR mounts, and they are gtg. Not the lightest mount, but they are solid.You may want to look at the Redfield SPR mounts. Cabela's often has them on sale for $20. I have a number of them. They work really well.
If you look at the pepper you should look at the salt too. It meets your criteria of both lighter and cheaper in an offset one piece:
SWFA SSALT // 59.95-10% and free S&H: https://swfa.com/swfa-s-s-a-l-t-30mm-scope-mount.html
No QD (unless you go to their premium much more expensive option), 30mm with aluminum inserts for 1"
SSALT: 8oz
PEPR: 8.3oz/8.7oz listed for the 1"/30mm

? Negative sir.The SALT is a rebadged PEPR.
The PEPR is not made by Burris and the SALT is not made by SWFA. I mounted a scope for a friend last year and he’d bought a SALT. When he came over I compared it to my PEPR and they were the same. Yes they are accessorized differently and the SALT only comes in 30mm with inserts to mount a 1” scope. I also checked with a manager I know at SWFA and he confirmed it. So I’ll stick to my guns.
