I just bought the Hensoldt 2.5 Panzerfaust sight to go behind my Bushnell holosight. So what mount will fit the Hensoldt?
Wouldn't a 1" mount hold it in? (1"= 25.4mm)
Where is one of the cheap fts mounts? All the ones i've seen won't fit a picitinny rail most are 20mm rail for airsoft.
I would like to find a flip to side or twist to side knock off. (really, $150 mount for a $14 magnifier??)
Thanks

I had one a while back and ended up making spacers for a 30mm aimpoint clone mount....it worked OK. I think the one I had was a 27mm tube though...

The only specific mount I can think of is the LaRue "po-boy"...and yes...$150 is crazy...

Thansk for the info! You say had one, you don't anymore? Why? Did it work ok?

Had it on this:

....don't have a pic of it in place though.....worked OK, but wasn't the greatest.

There are a million different options out now for a magnifier anyway, I did mine about 4 years ago when it was still a new "concept"...

Currently am running this:

...and went with a variable 1.5x5 scope...

I was just wanting something cheap. I'm not a proponent for the optics costing more than the rifle. Do you know if there is a QD mount for the Bushnell Holosight? (the one that looks like EOTech)

New one is "powered by snowwis" :D

I's a 1.5x5 shotgun scope, picked it up to try the concept, it's worked so well I haven't upgraded.

The scope can be had for <$100.

As for the Bushnell.....any of the Eotech mounts should work, but I don't know of any "cheap" alternatives.

There was a huge thread on these on Arfkom a year or two ago....I'd find it, but I was banned...:D

It had mounts and such in it IIRC.
