Scope Mount with External Adjustment

[Lkwebb]

I was searching the net and came across this scope with adjustment knobs for the scope rings.
Do the micro adjustment push on the rings or the scope itself.
Never seen anything like it...

I think that is a "frozen" scope and an external adjustment used by guys in short range BR.

 

[butchlambert]

Snert is right. My mind is blank, but that one was done by an Arizona gunsmith.

but that one was done by an Arizona gunsmith.

That would be Bob Brackney

The other common one you’ll see is the Gene Bukys/TSI system.

You are correct. Dementia must have taken hold.

 

[Lkwebb]

Thanks gentlemen !
Some pretty neat ingenuity

Didn’t unertl Do this as well…….

 

[ebb]

Ivey did something like that for extreme long range. The external adjustments had way more movement than the internal in all scopes.

Lots of scope folks did it in days gone past.

No, it’s not dimentia. I hold to the theory that when a man reaches a certain age, his brain is full. After that, if he learns or remembers something new, an older memory gets pushed out his ear.

You're a good Buddy Josh.

I think I heard that once, but forgot it

Those external adjust rings are made by Bob Brackney in AZ. The micrometer barrels bear against the scope tube. There is a spring held in by the knurled knob not shown in your photo. There is a live rubber ring in the front ring that allows the scope to move when you adjust the windage and elevation barrels. If you need his contact info PM me. The rings mount on a kelbly rail on bases from them or Davidson if they still offer them.

This particular mount design was originated in a similar fashion by Arnold Jewel back in the early 2000’s. Bob made this version. The front ring incorporates a hard rubber ring that grips the scope body securely while still allowing it to move as the rear mount moves the back half of the scopes body

The turrets of the scope are removed and the internals of the scope (ie, the erector tube), are frozen.

I froze quite a few 1 inch body scopes during that time. That included Leupold 36 BR models, Weaver T-36’s, being the most popular. The way I froze them was permanent. You could not “unfreeze” them.

Keep in mind, these mounts were intended to be used on light recoil Short Range Benchrest Rifles in the Group Format. This was at a time when scopes all were suspect in their ability to hold point of aim at a level of accuracy and precision demanded in Short Range Benchrest. In short, the entire scope became the erector tube.

They worked quite well.

I feel our efforts in years past induced major scope manufacturers to up their game significantly in improving the capabilities of their products.

Thank you for the clarification. Being fairly new to benchrest shooting i was very curious bout it.

Left several messages on Brackney's phone with no response so I'll ask a question here. What does this mount sell for? Cleaning out my friends estate.

Thanks

which manifests itself as ear hair
