I got my Variable Gantry Mount today!!

[Clayne_b]

Looks very well built. I will uptate here when i get it all mounted up.

I was excited to get this and have had alot of people express interest in seeing how it turns out and works

So I did an Unboxing video

[Clayne_b]

Got it all mounted up. Between the already low cheek weld and the high base i decided to build a adjustable cheek rest. hopefully i get some time tomorrow to shoot it :bthumb:

What does it do

[NeuseRvrRat]

waaaaay too far from scope centerline to bore centerline for me

what's the purpose of this mount?

 

[Clayne_b]

it has 5 settings that you can set anywhere from -5 to 110moa

 

[NeuseRvrRat]

seems really unnecessary to me

especially on a .22LR

 

[Clayne_b]

Some may think so. I have fun plinking out to 500 yards with my .22lr, this mount should make it even more fun. Think about holding croshairs on target at 500 yards!

Only on a windless day or indoors

No wind makes it alot easier, there have been days that I have hold up to 10 feet for wind

Its alot of fun and not as hard as you may think

Love it Clayne, looks a lot more fun then trying to get your group 1mm tighter at 50yds.

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

Yeah, way too much bore to scope. Kind of like all those AR's........

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

What did it cost? I need one for my Whisper..........

 

[Clayne_b]

Give Chris a call, tell him Curtis Sent ya. lol

Got my new scope all mounted up and ready to go! Building a smaller target now for 500 yards, then im off to go shoot it!

 

[Clayne_b]

The big one is 14 inches the small one is 8.5 inches. when i get out to the range i will paint the targets white, i left the paint out there.

 

[LoonWulf]

I was thinking that looked goofy, but after you described what it did i see the point. If i ever get around to building a suppressed rifle (and moving to another state :s ) ill have to get one of those.

 

[Clayne_b]

Went shooting today, the new target is fun, Hit the small one a few times, the bigger one is not as hard to hit as i thought it would be. it was fun. I have the VGM set up to hold right on at 500 yards. works great!



also shot some groups with cci sv. all are 5 shot groups using front bipod and rear bag. laying in the dirt lol.

50 yards



100 yards

 

[LoonWulf]

good shooting, that does look like fun

 

[ants]

I know that mount seems weird, but check out his videos shooting 100 - 200 -300 - 400 and 500 yards down that canyon. Fun !!!

At those ranges down that canyon, scope height above bore centerline is meaningless. But if it ain't your cup-o-tea just pass on by.

 

[Clayne_b]

ants, this mount is going to be sweet for that. in those videos i was using just the old tasco scope. lol now i can go from my 50 yard zero to 500 yards with out cranking the scope dial. takes about 1 second to change lol. once i get it all figured out I will make another video

 

[Clayne_b]

Update,

Got the DIP extended base. so the VGM would not move, the J&Ps did not workout. not there problem... mine....

here are some pic of the DIP Base. It seems very well built!





Here is a pic of the VGM on top of the DIP. at 50 yard zero



Here is a pic of the VGM on top of the DIP. at 500 yard zero



and here are some other pictures of the VGM on the DIP

I had a set of literature on that mount from probably 20 years ago, I did not know they were still being made.

It would work well on a flattop AR where you normally need risers on a scope anyhow.

A video with the mount on my gun

[sscoyote]

Clayne, couple of guys are putting the VGM's on their specialty pistols and compete in LR matches with them...and do very well against the rifle guys, so...keep on truckin' man!!

U know what u need to do is to get a ground squirrel with that rig of yours at 500+ yds. Now that would be reaaalllyy cool Man!!

 

[Clayne_b]

I need to go find a P dog town and see what i can do! sounds like fun to me.
