Drone pro mount

[warbucks]

try Kevin Gundry look on facebook armasight drone pro users. Quality mount that not only replaces the quick detach mount but also has a ring support for lens

Yes a better option for anyone thats thinking about buying the "Neil mckillop mount for the Drone Pro.

When Neil designed and made the Tikka/Drone Pro mount he did a top quality job, he got the eye relief spot on and did away with part of the Drones original base fixing direct to the prism rail ?, the problem is it does nothing to support the front lens which is where the holding zero problem is.
Kevin Grundy found out this problem and designed and made a lens support that uses part of the Drones original base. (mine is the first design)

(1) To the best of my knowledge its cured every one's zero problem
(2) It stops the front weaver rail mount sliding off -----as its all built into the mount with a longer weaver rail
(3) It puts the original Drone weaver base in front of the rifle bolt (while still giving correct eye relief) so can be used with any make of rifle ? not just Tikka.

Two of my mates have had "Neils" mount and re sold it because of on going zero problems, they and I had "Kev make-n-fit his lens support -----all zero problems fixed
People with light re coiling rifles "might" get away with "Neils" mount, or the "standard mount without zero issue's, but 22-250 or 243 and above , this is made worse with a heavy illuminator or any additional weight added to the drone pro.

Any potential new Drone Pro buyer's, thing to remember is people dont admit to "their" Drone Pro not holding zero -----it dosen't help when you want to sell it.
The Drone Pro is still amongst the best n/v out there but with recoiling rifles it does need that front lens support

well I have one of neils mount on my rifle with the drone from day one.

and not had any issues, hence the chap that has my old tikka 595 222 wanted one,

due respect to kev and his mount but not for me,

My mounts pretty much the same as Neils , apart from it does away with crappy prism rail, that causes al the problems, Neil himself steers people in my direction so I know it’s fine and I have done 100 + of them with a 100 % success rate , But I couldn’t make you one because I have at least 10 here that all want my mount, so that’s me busy for next 2 months.

plus 1 for Kevs mount , think from reading all the past history , Neill provided an upgrade when the Drone was released in limited numbers , brilliant design and build . Think Kev has taken it to the next level with his original design , then the mk2 full on rail mount , superb bit of kit and well worth it, made my Drone shoot spot on ,done away with zero and missing issues, big top job.............

I have Kevs Drone mount fitted to my gun. I was another who suffered with zero loss, and consequently lost all faith in my gun. zeroed the day I got it delivered, and I’ve never touched it since and that was 2 years ago now. I’d recommend it to anyone. But you can’t please everyone

I too had one of the Neil's mounts but suffered from zero shift , the mount it’s self was brilliant and addressed the eye relief but did nothing for supporting the lens as that is where the issue is and is on all drones as I have had a couple and my mates have .
The drones that I have was sent to kev he made the lens support that all fitted together into the prism mount as one bracket but this couldn’t be done at that time with Neil's mount as the way it was made that’s the reason I sold mine .
My drone was shifting zero every pair of plates before kevs modification and after I have not touched them and they have held zero for two years

[crowboy]

my drone would not hold zero sent to kev job done holds zero quality mount

Good for you all that its sorted,

i can’t use kevs mount i cant even have a rail fitted to my rifles, its down to the issues i have with my neck, i don’t doubt it works but if its not broken then i am not changing it, its been on a 243./6mm br 222 and 20 tac and never had an issue with the drone mk1 or using the neil mc mount.

We have 4 in the team and NON of them have kevs mount, all have the normal mount bar mine, cals in use are

20 tac mine neil mac mount. Mk2
222, normal drone mount and a rail mk1
22,250 tony normal drone mount and a rail, mk2
243 WSJ normal drone mount and a rail, mk2

All have not lost zero and are used (well where used) every week at least twice a week,

As said i have no issues with Kev or his mount, its just no good to me.

Had Kevins mount for over a year now no issues on drone 15 x the ring mount on front of lens is essential. When I bought the 15x drone I didn't even mount it on the rifle I took it straight to have the mount fitted. If the original mount works for you great but it will eventually lose zero both of mine did. I'm out a average 3 x a week and walking. As for problems with height of mount then kevins mount is as low as possible on my Tikka and the lens is almost touching the picatinny rail, so close in fact it is difficult to fit the front rubber cap. Kevs a good guy to deal with also. Just my two pennys worth.
