I've used the west Hunter pic mounts on my katran for last couple month, and never had a issue no matter how many times I removed scope, as for UTG I have there 360 bipod and it's a solid piece of kit for £80, certainly much better then cheapo Amazon ones without breaking bank with a high end one
It's quite mad how quickly the quality has improved on alot of the affordable ranges of hardware eh. As it stands I've absolutely no problem running these parts on the 9015.
@@tillysgunstocks to be fair I have couple west Hunter scopes too that I think for money are pretty solid, only issue I have with them is they don't really make any SFP, it's all FFP, thankfully vector make a nice affordable SFP, I forgot to mention the west Hunter dovetail mounts seem decent on my huntsman too, but there only like £8 less then sportsmatch so it's like so so really
Leapers stuff is actually pretty good but as with all Chinese bolts/screws I automatically change them for higher quality stainless steel hardware. Chinesium hardware is pretty dire and usually the weak link.
Would happily pay an extra £10 for a dovetail to picatinny with 20-30MOA built in which is very helpful for .22. adjustable mounts on top will get a bit too much. That UTG is also one of the few that fit a curved top like Springer cylinder rather than just flat top PCP dovetail block.
There's quite a few moa rails out there now for not much money. This one I went with a flat rail as I wasn't initially sure which way around I would run it to overhang the rear of the action. I'm pleasantly surprised with the build quality and repeatability of the mounting so far though
@@tillysgunstocks Not many that will fit a curved top action, or maybe I need to look again found either flattop dovetail or specific centerfire and the little clip in adapters don't fit curves either. Tried a Chinese one before and it was crap sat nowhere near vertical no matter what way it clamped. Would like to swap scopes with ease particularly NV on and off, pard 007 works but feels clumsy.
Perfectly timed content, I have had to remove and replace my vector mounts on my Krait, and found it held zero well each time, however I didn't believe my own findings 🤪, Your video has set my mind to rest. Thanks.

Hi paul, it's about 1cm of additional height on the riser rail. I'm really surprised at the quality of it,especially for the money. It doesn't have any built in angle,as it can be used either way around being something of a cantilever design. It brings the bore-scope heights much closer now between the 9015 and the katran too.

Another excellent video, interesting, informative and very well produced. Thanks
Cheers for watching Tony. Maybe in time I'll do the same testing with some expensive rails and mounts..

Thanks.
I aim to please Henry 😆
Glad it was of some use in settling the mind
I've bought a few leapers compact 3×12/44 scopes ,they came with mounts and I have to say they did there job.
The quality of the mid and lower end components has really come along the last couple of years eh!
@@tillysgunstocks
Most definitely ,however when I bought the leapers ( utg) 3×14x44 it compact swat scopes it was around 2011 I got the first ( I bought it specifically for my brand new to market verminator mk2 )
With what was then called the Ben Taylor smooth twist barrel , within weeks of reading a then up to date article about Mr Taylor and Freddie axelson ( owner of FX) it explained how Ben had been working with Freddie at the FX factory over the last 18 months , it showed how Ben Taylor had made a super high end PCP that was a two shot tray and featured the smooth twist ( I think he got milbro to finance it because the rifle was called the milbro ___( I can't remember the name)
Then 2 weeks later I read an update talking about how Ben had actually decided to sell all his designs legal rites etc etc to the smooth twist and how it was going to revolutionise the shooting world ,
Needles to say I was very excited to receive my new .177 mk verminator , little did I know that .177 sub 12 smooth twists at that time were at best very inconsistent and would be accurate for so many shots then loose accuracy , it went back and forth to the distributer ( at the time asi) for just under a year , I ended up having Ben himself fully tune ,rebuild and service to the rifle , it ended up having a BSA barrel fitted , it then became one of the most accurate take downs id ever shot .

Excellent review and test
Eaglevision do a dovetail picatinny converter which is nicely made but I think it’s 13mm.
They do 11 and 13 got a few 13mm ones because pic mounts give more choice than oddball 13.
Cheap aluminum, but they will work just fine. Espically on a pcp or a very low recoil rifle.
Surprisingly it doesn't feel that cheap or soft like the gear did a few years back. So far I'm quite surprised, let's see how it lasts eh..
@@tillysgunstocks I am looking for a rail for 8002 S2, may take a look at this for a cheap option
lovely stock nice
Thanks mate, it's just built from scraps but does the job just right.
@@tillysgunstocks from rags too riches then!!
Hey Tommy, Great video again! You are going to have Chilly looking over his shoulder😀
How high did that lift the scope rail?

👍
I loathe dovetail. Get rid of it...
Like looking in a mirror
Surprising how well it came back to zero eh. Not the sort of tolerances you'd normally expect of budget components for sure..
