Thanks for the directions. They were much easier to follow then my Smith Enterprise instuctions were

Where do you do your shooting? There are several of us here in Utah, we may be able to get together and help you get familiar with the rifle.

Thanks, I have one on order and will use this as a guide.

I just put on my Sadlak aluminum mount with the help of this thread. Thanks

Great pics, Thank you Redleg. I've got a scout squad with an Eotech on the fore end factory rail. Has anyone used this Sadlak setup to mount their Eo 3.25 magnifier on a quick-detach mount? If so, what else should I keep in mind considering space between the red dot optic and the magnifier, or additional condiderations for eye relief with that magnifier? I looked at Larue Tactical and was surprised I didn't see anything like this; and the factory Springer mount has this giant gap in the center of it, in which I'm lacking confidence. I went to my local tac shop and they recommended going with a full frontal shroud which would mean full monty weight, and I'd of course rather keep it balanced back at the receiver if possible.

Superb "How-To" write-up!

My Sadlak Airborne is arriving by snail mail any day now and I look forward to putting it to use.

Great instructions, I think that even I can follow them.

One question, does the channel on the upper surface of the mount allow for use of the iron sights if the need arose, such as a scope problem?

RAMMAC

That all depends on the scope more than anything else. If you have a large objective bell (the front of the scope) then no, the bell will block your view. I think a 50mm objective lens will work but I know a 56mm lens is too big.

Thanks. The scope I am thinking of using is a 4omm so I should be okay here.

Another thank you for taking the trouble to post this. At some point in the near future I will install my scope Sadlek scope mount.
