Bassett Machine Mount

My Bassett Machine Mount review

Took my newly scoped M-305 out to the range taday to test the claims of the Bassett Machine Co., that of returning to zero after removal and reinstalling.

My M-305 is mounted in a JAE100 stock with a Falcon Menace 1.5-5x30mm scope. Ammo was Norinco green box stuff.

The day was a beautiful 23°C, with barely any wind.
After zeroing @ 100 yards, I removed and reinstalled the scope mount four times per the instructions.
The bullet holes look a bit odd 'cause the target wasn't tight against the backer board. Kinda hard due to the 2000+ staples .
These are the results:


1st re-install
Yeah, I flinched a bit. 3rd shot if I recall.

2nd re-install
The 2 circled shots are the first ones from my sight-in.

3rd re-install
I think I was rushing these a bit.

4th re-install
Not too shabby. There's 5 shots in there!

After finishing @ 100 yards, I decided to see my group @ 25 yards.

I was holding on the center of the cross.

At the end of the day, I could easily ring the 300 yards gong. The scope mount was holding true and at no time did it come loose. For the convience of being able to remove the scope and mount for storage and knowing that it will shoot this well upon remounting, I think it was money well spent.

Just my $.02

Yours is the 1913 rail, right, (E)?

Thanks for the review, worth considering...

That looks like one bad ass rifle.
Where'd you get the scope rings for the Basset/Menace?

Dare I say, I am copying that setup, minus the JAE .
Wonderful work.

The scope rings are Accushot 30mm low rings. Picked them up at the last Calgary gunshow.

Thanks Echo, you convinced me.
I just ordered the same setup for my M14 (Basset pic mount + Falcon 1.5-5X)... can't wait to try it out.

Cheers,

Rats, emailed CyberK/Allenguns and he tells me that some wanker bought the last scope today. (jk).

They too are out, but Allengun has a new shipment on the way for late October. Get on the gravy train while it's still in the station.

We are getting the last eight pieces they have. They decided to produce more, but not sure when they will be done.

Oleg69, gets one. Seven left!!!

How much are the picatinny mounts going for?
Please pm me if there is still room left on the list!!!

 

[Dimitri]

150$ for the mount.

Any Canadian sources? or did everyone order direct from Bassett?

I ordered mine direct from Bassett. No problems at all.

Me too... got it in 5 business days !

But now with the crazy exchange rate and stupid gst/pst/duty, it went up to 227 $ cdn. (picatinny model, 149$ usd).

I'm confused about rings. No one seems to have the 30mm low profile Accushots. Marstar has a whole bunch of other ones but I have no idea how to choose.

I have the Falcon Menace 1.5-5X30mm and the Basset picatinny mount.

Help.

Great review. I might just have to get one of theses.

The saddle height (top of base to bottom of ring) on mine is 9mm. I have no idea how much higher the medium ones are. You can try Milarm or D&L Airgun for rings as well. Both list the medium rings on their sites. Call and see if they have low ones.
