If it’s only going on one scope then shim a cheap picatinny ring, once you have done it that’s it.
So does mine, and it's got a bit play in it so when you adjust and let go it moves slightly.
I've resorted to a Ludicrous Lumens NEW FULLY adjustable IR mount 25MM & 30MM lamp bodies.
lighter in weight and easier to use.

Burris mounts with the plastic insert. You can mount them on a rail and after zeroing the beam lock them in place. Works really well with a low profile IR like the blade as you dont even notice the thing is fitted.
I’ll have a look at them when i’m home cheers!

I prefer the type in post #2. There are different quality ones, you cannot really tell before you get it in your hands. I don't mind the play, because torch always returns to center. In fact you can force the torch a little if you want to temporarily have the beam higher etc. There are higher and lower ones, I prefer lower.
Have used Optilock and Burris, they adjust quite smoothly but problem is if you bump them you need a tool for readjusting.
LL mount doesn't adjust very smoothly, might have to polish them (I have few). Also you have to get them real tight to prevent "bump adjust", and the beam moves a little at the final tightening. Also the picatinny interface isn't the best (bit play there also, depending on tightening).

Yes, these are a big improvement on the original version
I mount both Ward Blade and LL Wraith in mine and have to say - apart from when it gets whacked in the Gator - I've never experienced those issues with my LL.
Maybe i've got one of the newer good ones.
At the start of the session I adjust mine at max zoom on the scope and tight beam on the torch, then really tighten up the screw. It's as good as all the others I've tried and better than some. Each to their own I suppose
Thats a decent method i reckon. Tight beam,max zoom at the start of the night then off you go.At the start of the session I adjust mine at max zoom on the scope and tight beam on the torch, then really tighten up the screw.

I’m going to order one from LL.
I’m not really well versed in nv and i still need a bit practice with different settings on scope and ir.
I’ve owned thermal spotters and scopes for a few years now, just added an NV/day scope to the collection to ‘Scratch an itch’ if you like!
Cheers!
What I forgot to say was that after I've set up the torch, as described above, I open up the beam to wide and zoom back x5mag for ease of picking up a fox quickly.
