Things I liked:Perfect fit for Air force air rifles. Before installing this, I tried a 1" high ring scope mount and I did not have a comfortable viewing position. Once the tri rail was installed with the 1" high ring mount, the viewing set up was perfect.By Serge from Philippines on 2011-09-06 23:12:28

Things I liked:Helps the scope sit a little higher. More room for those extra things that I wanted to add. Easy to install and will not move with the six screws holding it in place. Looks Great!By Bryan from USA on 2011-04-02 22:23:36

Things I would have changed:Nothing!
Things I liked:Purchased 2 for my Talon SS. So I could mount my weaver and picaninny stuff. But could not mount any of them. The recoil prevention pins on weaver picaninny mountings. PREVENT mounting on the Tri rail base! A brilliant attempt of Airforce to force you into buying their low quality mounted accessories. If you modify the mount in any way...your BONED if you decide to return the mount. The rifles are all top notch! But like the IMI's Desert Eagle...your kinda stuck buying their stuff.By John J from USA on 2011-02-25 16:52:17

Things I would have changed:Machine some recoil prevention slots on the mount. Machine a lip on the top of the mount. So you can mount things on the side of this rail.
What others should know:Think twice before buying. If your weaver picaninny mounting rings have removable recoil prevention pins....your in the clear!
Things I liked:I liked how many screws are on the rail to give it a very secure foundation to my rifleBy Cali from USA on 2010-11-08 09:33:52

Things I would have changed:Needs to have some barrel compensation built into it. Because you are going to most likely need it. I did on both my Talon SS and my Condor. I would also make the rail shorter in length and make it see though with an integrated rear sight.
What others should know:You don’t really need this if you are not going to mount accessories to the sides of the rail. You can achieve the raised sight line with some High rings and also have see though.
Things I liked:This tri-rail base gives you lots of mounting options and flexibility for your scope, laser, light, etc. I actually bought 2 of them. I have one mounted in the normal position of the "top" rail on my Condor, and I also mounted one on the "forward" rail. The reason? I wanted all the extra mounting configuration options, but I also use the side rails on both the tri-rail I mounted in the "forward" location, and the "top" rail location, for mounting a "large" swivel from the Airforce Swivel Stud set, one on each rail. NOTE: In order to do this, you have to buy (2) Airforce Swivel Stud sets because each set may come with 2 of the small swivels for mounting on the butt of the rifle / HPA tank, but you only get 1 large swivel for mounting on a dovetail. I mounted a large swivel on the side of each tri-rail base, so I could then attach a VTAC quick-disconnect extension to each swivel. From the quick-disconnnections, I can quickly add / remove my nicely-padded VTAC 2-point tactical sling from Viking Tactics. One may ask me why I would want to mount an additional large swivel on the side of the "top" tri-rail base (near my scope), when I could just attach it to the small swivel at the butt of the rifle. The reason I chose to do it this way was so I could keep the sling on and the rifle in a secure and very convenient location for switch out HPA tanks. Otherwise, if I just used the small swivel at the butt of the rifle for the rear attachment of the sling, I would have to remove my sling and set the rifle down when refilling or switching out HPA tanks.By Paul from USA on 2010-07-22 14:57:16

Things I would have changed:I don't think I would change anything on the tri-rail base, but it would be nice if they were a tad bit cheaper. In order to achieve the setup I was after, I had to buy (2) tri-rail bases, which cost me about $66.
Things I liked:Feels solidly built and is the perfect length although offering other lengths would be a nice option.By Gilbert from USA on 2010-07-06 23:45:40

Things I would have changed:The hex screws which attach the rail to the gun are frozen in place and very difficult to turn. When attempting to loosen the hex screws in order to install the rail 2 out of 10 screws could not be loosened despite applying penetrating oil and actually broke in in place.CommentsBy Larry from USA on 2010-09-24 01:35:42 1 
I had the exact same thing happen except that on mine 4 of the screws were frozen and eventually broke off when trying to loosen..
Things I liked:machining and design. very rugged and secureBy Customer from USA on 2009-09-16 13:09:21

Things I would have changed:i think i might offer this product in different lengths and different heigths...possibly different colors.
What others should know:a great product for those owning the Airforce series PCP rifles
Things I liked:Very sturdy construction, looks cool and definitely will not move once mounted, nice feature being able to mount other accessories to the side rails.By Jim from USA on 2009-08-08 22:27:33

Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Edges of the base front and rear are sharp but not a big deal, the people at AirForce told me that having the rail base and high scope rings is good and recommended for people over 6 feet in height to have good neck and head position.
Things I liked:Looks cool, raises the mount level and you can use "medium" height scope rings. All the allen screws really hold this thing tight.By Larry from USA on 2009-03-21 00:04:42

What others should know:You can just use "high" scope rings and eliminate the extra cost and weight. It seems pretty heavy for an all aluminum rail. It does provide more attach points for accessories, but at some point the extra "goodies" become a burden.- 12

Things I would have changed:nada
What others should know:If you order a condor and a scope you'll need the medium rings and this rail. Otherwise the scope is way too low with just the rings and will be difficult to shoot. I wish I had known this when ordering the condor. Oh well, know you got the knoledge. Bob
