Why is it we as an industry spending thousands on our set ups but yet there isn’t a decent adjustable torch mount out there?!

Has anyone found a decent mount that fixes to the rifle quickly and toolless and will hold the torch zero every time?

It is much the same with people selling high seats that only a (small person) can use the rail with out getting a bent neck.
There are decent mounts out there just you might not have found it yet!
I personally just go in the workshop and make it right as every stalker (must have a man cave and some tools) :)
 
I use one from Ant Supplies, due to the nature of being adjustable total RTZ is never truly gonna be spot on but a slight tweak here or there is a small price to pay.
 
I have the perfect, repeatable, rock solid, low profile setup. 34mm sphur mount and rail mounted at 45 degrees, 30mm bushings, 30mm qd warne ring with 25mm bushings for torch. Controls for torch in easy reach and quick to attach, remove. The bushings allow shims without risk to the scope or torch.

Hello, The quick / cheap and easy way if using a I/ R torch on a Scope like Night Vision is buy a figure 8 clamp, This is all i use and have done for many years

Yes but the rifle has a right weight bias :) oh yes it does!!
 
i use a cheap adjustable low mount from ebay its adjusts both windage and elevation
fixes onto the top of my scope via a picatinny rail
ive never had any problems with it. to be honest i prefer the IR on top of the scope not hanging off the side but thats only me
 
What does that matter? @Tim.243
I like things to be balanced so mine is central and not bias to one side like anything in shooting balance is important also cheek weld, lop, cast, swing,
trigger control. you have gotten over the height problem of the LRF housing by having the IR to one side, mine is central so not bias L or R.
Do it how you want but you can't say it is not balanced as you have weight to one side which it is. :tiphat:
People have adjustable stocks, my .270 stock is packed out so the mount was cock on for the Z6

Balance isn’t a problem, its a small torch close to the COG, keeping it tight and rigid is better than being tall and floopy! Also, reflected energy from the torch bounces off the moderator to the side and not back into the scope or the shooters eyes. As you say, do it how you want. Just make sure you keep doing it.

That is fine, however small it is the weight is to one side which I said with out dressing it up it is bias. That is why people have used beam scales in reloading for donkeys years as when the weight is correct it sits in the middle.
Yours is like in the play ground with 2 of your fat mates on one end of the see-saw.
a little test of my "floppy" modified mount 3.5> 19.5 on top of the 4k
