Things I liked:It works. I needed more elevation and I got it. This mount is very sturdy and I really like the big allen head screws on the base. Some mounts have those tiny little allen heads on the larger base screws, and the heads tend to strip.
Things I would have changed:Well the only thing would be a stop pin. That would make the mount perfect to me. I'm using it with a cheap gamo scope stop with a stop pin and it seems to work pretty well.
What others should know:If you want the least expensive adjustable mount you can get this one is pretty good as long as you get a scope stop too.

Things I liked:none
Things I would have changed:longer scope clamp screws, change to steel construction, reengineer locking mechanism, remove freeplay once locked down.
What others should know:This is definitely not a mount for a powerful springer. I also found it had too much play after adjustments were locked down. Also the scope clamp screws were barely long enough to make contact with the base threads and easily stripped. After replacing these short aluminum screws with longer steel ones and locking down adjustments, this mount still had play. In my opinion, any play is too much. You will definitely have to shim this mount to remove this freeplay. Also, you will definitely need a separate scope stop. This is a great idea for a one peice adjustable mount that is poorly executed. In Pryamyd's defense, I just might have got a bad one. I have ordered many products from Pryamyd and have always been satisfied with their products. This mount may be useful for a pcp, but I would never recommend it for a springer. I will order the Beeman adjustable next time. As B.B. says, "You don't get what you don't pay for."
