BKL 4" Mount, 1" Rings, 11mm/3/8" Dovetail, .007" Drop Compensation

Compressed exactly like described. The expansion jack-screw holes are a great idea to uncompress the clamp if necessary. You're getting a lot of mount for just $70.

Nothing. For $70 bucks, how much more engineering or machining could you put into this?

BUT, be aware that the MeoPro 2-10x42 will not work with this mount. Similarly robust scope builds may not work either. The turret housing projects too far below the 1" diameter tube/clamp bottom and the turret housing will bottom out atop the 1-piece construction connector before the 1" diameters meet. Maybe not a problem with a lot of other, more compact/streamlined scopes designed more for air rifles. I have to reorder the 2-pc clamp set instead. Sticking with BKL.

It stays put. Works exceptionally well. BUT....

Rings are not high enough to provide clearance for scope turret area of scope.Bottom of scope hits the middle of base!!! Hawke scopes do not work!!! Many scopes will not fit!!!!!! BKL should forewarn potential buyers of possible clearance issues or raise ring height by 2 mm.

capable of fitting different width dovetails, made in usa, one piece design, large number of scres to anchor base to rifle. The 0.007 drop can be used both for short range shooting or turned with the drop as an elevation gain to accomodate longer range shooting. Well made.

I didn't know about the 0.007 drop. I need to check the instructions to see whick direction it goes and if the scope is installed correctly.

On my Gamo the mount is tighted and still moves forward when I am shooting.

Produced in the Compensates for drop compensation.

Ability to see through would be nice. One extra screw on each side of the top rings.

N/A

I like having the rings fixed to the base as it reduces movement error......and the slant angle was just right for the Octane Elite, ... using barracuda 21.14 gr. pellets. It put the scope elevation into the mid range adjustment at 25 yards,on cross hair. I also liked the spreader holes .....as all such items should have a means of removal. Some do not have this.

It would be nice if there was some windage adjustment......as I had to file the inside groove on both sides to achieve barrel alignment .

When shooting at distance....barrel alignment is critical with the scope,.....and so if the 11mm groove on the rifle is not perfect....one needs to compensate for this with windage adjustment. By distance ..I am speaking of 100 yards. IE...If you hit a dot at 25 yards.....you should in theory hit the same dot at 100 yards with the barrel aligned and under perfect conditions and shooter stance.

Very solid mount.

Scope rings need to be slightly taller in relation to the base.

This base will not work if your scope adjusting turret goes around the scope ring on the bottom. In other words unless your scope is completely smooth, on the bottom of the turret area, the turret will hit on top of the base which will not allow you to lock down the scope in the rings. Rings are too close to the base. I tried to mount a Nikon Prostaff EFR 3x9x40 scope on this mount. If you look at a picture of this scope you'll see that the adjustment turret is very slim and flat on the bottom. It still would not work.
If that is not a problem for you this base and rings seem to be very well made and sturdy.

Solid, one-piece mount.

My gun needed more droop compensation than this mount offered.

I purchased this mount for two reasons: (1) I needed droop compensation. Even with two soda-can shims on the rear scope ring of my old setup, I could not get my scope to zero. (2) I wanted a one-piece mount vs. separate scope rings: I found it difficult to get my scope aligned with the bore using my old scope rings.

This BKL mount solved the alignment problem. It clamps the dovetail for a full four inches. By tightening each of the six(!) clamping screws, it is solidly anchored in perfect line with the dovetail

I still had to add two soda-can shims under the scope at the rear ring on the BKL mount to get my scope zeroed in. Apparently, my gun has some serious barrel droop.

At more than 5oz in weight, this thing is heavy for a scope mount; much heavier than a pair of rings. In my case, my gun was already over eleven pounds, so a few more ounces was not a big issue; just something to be aware of.

This mount is solid! Once clamped in place, it feels like part of the gun.

Completely solved my scope alignment problem. Excellent quality, good quality hardware.

Anti slip material inside the ring will be nice. I used 3M double sided tape in this case. Also please consider making these for the picatiny / weaver rails.

If you want to shoot straight, shoot accurately, why not do it right at the first time by getting the BKL.

I mounted a scope, Hawke 3-7, on a Diana 48 with this mount. Seems to do everything that is claimed by it's makers.

Put the marks marking the front of the mount on the side of the mount for easy verification of proper mounting.

Works great! I like it

Everything

nothing

This mount flexes by design, very solid. Is it worth +2 times the $$ for the standard Chinese rings..... YES IMO!
