The street price on these scopes is around $400, which is pretty steep … but I’ll highlight several of the compelling features of the Spuhr mount in a section later in this post. 27% of the shooters trusted the Spuhr scope mount! It took the next 3 brands combined to outnumber the shooters running Spuhr mounts. When I asked the top shooters this same question on the 2014 survey, Spuhr was the most popular brand then too – although this time Spuhr has a much more commanding lead. There was a clear favorite scope mount: the Spuhr Ideal Scope Mount. The chart legend itemizes the league and ranks each color represents, but basically the darker the color, the higher up the shooters placed. The green colors represents the top shooters in the NRL, where the darkest green is the top 10, medium green is 11-25, and light green are the shooters who’s season rank landed from 26th to 50th. For example, black indicates shooters who finished in the top 10 in the PRS, the darkest blue is people who finished 11-25 in the PRS, and the lighter the blue, the further out they finished in overall standings. On the chart above, the various colors represent where a shooter landed in terms of rank. With that said, let’s dive right in! Here is the data on what these guys are currently running: That’s doesn’t mean you have to spend $400, but it probably does mean more than $50 – probably closer to $120. Doh! Cheap rings can allow the scope to move under recoil (in erratic ways that are hard to diagnose) or even damage the tube of your scope. I’d strongly recommend that if you buy a nice rifle and scope, please don’t cut corners on the mount. That’s like a player in the NFL who has a unbelievable kickoff return, but he starts celebrating a little too quickly and accidentally fumbles on the 5 yard line instead of scoring a touchdown. The scope mount is the bridge connecting what you’re using to aim with what is actually firing the bullet.
I know so many shooters who save and save for their first precision rifle, and then save and save for a capable scope … but then buy whatever cheap rings the local gun shop has that fit. My bad! This post will quickly cover scope mounts! 😉 Most Popular Scope Rings & Mounts My last post focused on the rifle scopes this group of shooters was running, and I intended to also include what scope mount/rings they were using … and one of my astute readers noticed I forgot. ( Learn about the PRS & NRL.) This group of over 150 competitors represent the best precision rifle shooters in the country. I’m currently publishing a series of posts that highlights the gear the top ranked shooters in both the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and the National Rifle League (NRL) are running in long range rifle matches.
