Thanks!

Whats the general consensus on forward sling attachment? Are they using the hole provided in the rail, or something with an HK hook

edt: ok i see in the first picture. i was kinda fixated on the last picture.

That 100MPH tape is gonna be nasty after a few rounds. Even if those are blanks, still gonna get a little toasty.

Hard to tell in the pic, but I think it may be exaust heat wrap.  I've seen it used a few times before.

Certainly possible. It just has that slightly beat up look of 100MPH tape that has been on something for a while.

Last picture is hard to tell because it could be looped 550 cord on the end of the handguard. Like many accessories, it could all be user preference. Other setups I've seen were using Proctor slings.

Been trying the better part of today, but can't seem to find an answer. And as opposed to scrolling thru 254 pages of this thread, I'll ask here:

Can anyone tell me what optic mount this is on my issued rifle w/ URG-I upper? I've been out a year now, and I'd love to be able to throw my Razor 1-6 in one of these, but I can't figure the manufacturer.

Here's some distinguishing features:

There's a Vortex logo on part of the optic (Vortex has done cobranded items before, I've never seen it on their site.)

Cerekoted FDE except the clamps, they're anodized tan

Torque specs are listed on the top part of the rings in white lettering

My Reptilia micro mount screw holes didn't line up, hence having to run the ROF 90 with the full ring set up.

The pieces the bolts thread down to on the opposite side are square-shaped. I've seen a lot of scopes have this part in the shape of a circle or a hexagon, but never a square.





Full rifle, to contribute to the thread:

It looks like an early Knights  mount and I like it............Someone better will be along shortly to fill us in but it's very interesting

It shares some similarities with the EER mount (not the mod 1) with a similar looking amount of cantilever built in and a very, very similar look with the top rings.

But there's no spine down the middle of the mount and what the screws go into on the right side are not squares.

Am I seeing a logo on the right side of the center rib or is that an artifact of lighting? It almost looks like the Vortex logo.

That is correct. It's very small and the only branding I remember seeing/have pictures of. I'm going to reach out to vortex today and see if they'll tell me who the OEM was on this.

That one is really odd.  It has clear features of like three different manufacturers.  The spine in the middle looks like the Geissele/Reptilia spine, the nut configuration and ring sections remind me of Knights and Nightforce.  

I almost wonder if Vortex had it made for a contract by one of the above but other mounts got selected so it never became a thing.

I'm very intrigued to hear who made it.

if I had to guess, seems to be a contract mount that was probably packaged w/ the Razors. Other 75th rifles seem to have them.

this scar for example:

To piggyback on this, it was an optic and mount belonging to 75RR.

That would get me to buy a 1-6 Razor! Rather simple, but with very usable features.

Don’t care for the thick arrows on the horizontal crosshairs, but it’s livable. Nothing is perfect.

I don't know anything about .gov contracts, but is it possible that it was part of the contract?--That Vortex isn't allowed to sell an identical version on the civilian market?

I'm sure that's MSRP. If so it should be comparable in price to a 1-8x ATACR.

Nope you’re wrong. Msrp is listed as $5,999.

Wish EO would have at least posted more specs or images of the optic.

Zeroed mine today with 855.  I'm gonna take it to AP Hill during our next qual and run it with 855a1 on the pop-up range.  My only gripe with the contract tango6t is that the mount could've been a little taller, otherwise I think its a great upgrade over a M150 RCO.
