Page 2 - BKL 4" Mount, 1" Rings Reviews

Well built and an excellent design. The BKL 260 series one piece mount is my standby mount for a spring piston gun. The 007 drooper works great for most RWS break barrels and fixed barrel. Contrary to popular belief "droop" in a barrel isn't a negative feature as it is necessary for the open sights to zero on target. Droop can also be fixed mechanically by a knowledgeable airgunner or airsmith. Easiest by far is the droop compensation mount as it leaves the open sights usable if the scope/mount is removed.

A better indicator mark on the mount and a notation in the instructions giving the end user the correct way of orientation the compensation. It's easy to see if you set the scope in the saddles and eyeball which end is higher but nearly fool proof if an obvious witness mark would be provided. Other then that- did I mention this is my "go to" mount? With the added instruction notation/obvious witness mark it's a 5Star rating (pretty minor really)

Unlike some other droop compensation mounts, this one still works with the TO6 Diana rail. If the rail is degreased and mount sequentially tightened properly "lock down features" and "scope stops" are completely unneeded. Worth the extra bucks.

Impressed with the packaging. Sure, it has zero to do with performance, it does reveal cleverness, care and concern the BKL company put into its design, and for the most part it carried over to the mount. The fit and finish of the mount proved excellent, with no external damage or machining defects. Mine fit loose on the rail of a Torpedo 100X, without having to use the spreader holes on an 11mm rail. Once tightened, and I mean tightened...past the point of feeling resistance, by 1 1/2 - 3 turns, depending on the amount of recoil your rifle produces, she's held tight through 70 rounds. The Drop Compensation was a secondary consideration for the type of barrel this rifle has, while fixed on the outside...it rotates inside and compensating for that movement seems wise. Time will tell.

The rings should have come with friction tape added to the bottom halves or, provide some for the user to apply as an option. Other than that, a Picatinny option would be interesting.

The rings are naked, with only two fasteners per ring, the scope will slide unless you've tightened them really well. This calls for experience, I did not crush the scope tube but it sure seemed like I had to tighten the rings more than should have been needed. It is done (without friction tape, which I may find and add when switching to another scope), and holding firm. Used blue loctite on all fasteners. Also applied two small dots of white-out, one on the scope and one on the rail, aiding as a quick visual for any movement that may occur. Alternatively, you could take measurements of the scope and mount locations, and re-check periodically.

Made in the USA,Stays where you put it.For EVER.

Mounted on my RWS 460 magmum .22.Installed new out of the box 3x9x40 Swift scope very close to zero before sight in.Elevation was almost dead on.Droop amount was perfect for my rifle.

Purchased this for my TX200 MkIII. So far it's the best scope mount I've been able to find to deal with my barrel droop issue. Clamps on VERY firmly. No need for a stop screw with this. In fact you need to gently spread the mount with the screws just to get it on the gun. Well made, no issues, very happy.

Seems a little pricey I suppose.

My only regret is that this isn't the first mount I bought to deal with gun's barrel droop issue. My original purchase was a B-Square adjustable mount. https://www.pyramydair.com/product/b-square-17021-11mm-to-weaver-adapter-adjustable?a=601 It worked fine until my gun fell down a wood pile. Nothing broke but the B-Square mount loosened enough that it needed to be completely reset. The BLK mount would likely have not performed this way. I don't plan on knocking my gun down any more wood piles but accidents sometimes happen. The BLK mount is a good one and well worth the price in my opinion.

I used this to mount a Leupold VX-2 3-9x 33mm scope on a .22 caliber Weihrauch Model 50 air rifle. The scope mount has more than enough gripping strength to prevent the mount from moving during the firing cycle. It was very easy and quick to install. The drop compensation allowed the scope to be zeroed at 18 yards with minimum elevation adjustments to the scope.

I would engrave the word "FRONT" with an arrow pointing in the direction of the muzzle behind the forward scope ring.

Be sure to read the mounting instructions in order to orient the drop compensation mount in the correct direction. A small circle indicates which direction is the front of the mount to correctly install it.

Solid mount. Probably the best holding springer mount made. This thing really bites down hard and holds excellent. Eliminates the mount from the POI moving equation. My D7 had exactly the advertised loop compensation.

Nothing

The mount can be tight going onto the dovetail. You can use a screw in one of the blank holes to widen the mount so it slips on the dovetail. It will then have extra clamping power when you remove the screw.

Best Mount by far. Had tried every other mount on there, trying to save money.

Nothing.

Buy this mount and forget it. It will never move or cause a shift in POI. It is the best ever made. Worth it. If it cost twice as much, it will still be worth it. The peace of mind is worth it.

This is a very secure, solid mount. Doesn't move at all, even on magnum air rifles like the RX2.

I would like to see more information stamped on the mount so that months or years down the road I can Identify exactly which mount this is.

Built Like a tank! Doesn't move on a RWS 52.

Built like a tank. I have used 3 BKL 260-D7's on 2 RWS Diana 350 Magnum Springers and a Diana 36 (same as 34) and have put thousands of shots through them. The BKL 260 mounts has never shifted. I have never had to tighten any of the mount or ring screws either.

Make one with high rings.

The 260D7 with the droop compensation comes with medium-height rings. Unfortunately this configuration limits you to using scopes with up to and including a 40mm obj. lens only, since the rings sit kind of low. There is a BKL260 with high rings but it does not compensate for any droop in your barrel. If you have no droop, I highly recommend the regular 260 mount. You will never have scope shift problems ever again. Be aware BKL makes a med-heigh 260 as well. I recommend the high ring 260 if you have a 44mm or larger scope.

Sturdy. Put on a .25 cal falcon hunter springer. Did not use the walther scope which came with the rifle because it sat higher than my preference.I used an old BSA with a 2 piece mount which it shook off after 15 shots. Then replaced with the BLK which took a few minutes to tightly screw down all six screws but then it was done. It does not move. It would stay on top of a cannon. Put a 1" hawke 6-24-50 scope on and now i have more rifle than i am shooter. All bought from pyramid air. No issues. Quite satisfied.

Nothing.

You get what you pay for.
