30-6 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am unable to source a sw-30 Yukon mount to put a photon QD option on a long picatinny rail. Everyone seems to have no stock on the shelf, with an expected 1 to 3 month delivery. Has anyone used or knows of a similar type mount to suit a picatinny rail ? Bearing in mind the eye relief problems associated with the photon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clakk Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) A firm called" in your sights" on the bay of evil does various suitable 1 piece mounts for 30mm bodied Photons for 16 to 40 quid ,far cheaper than the 60 quid photon version atb Edited December 20, 2017 by clakk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Look for one piece reach farward mounts and then turn them around. I paid about £5 for mine and just changed the QR to a fixed type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 There's a vortex cantilever mount on a NV specialist website ( initials SC ), advertising rules !!!!. Identical, but £20 dearer. I did phone the wholesalers who supply the yukon sw-30 to the dealers, and they told me that they are not expecting any for several months.

30-6 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 For anybody who is looking for a sw 30 type mount I have just purchased a leaper m3s40070r2 mount. Similar item to the type needed for the photon. On my rifle I have a full length picatinny rail, I offered the mount to the rifle and lengthwise it is fine. It is going to be close to fit though because there is a taper built into the design, and the bottom of the photon is very close to this. It can be overcome by either filing a fraction off the mount taper or just shim both bottom cradles of the mount, it is literally 1 or 2 mm. This is on a photon xt, so other models might be different. I did not tighten any screws so it might work out ok for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Just tried to edit above post but was stopped for some reason. Just to say, the mount as shown on Leapers website has 4 screws per cradle. Mine as shown on jsr's website, has 4 and 6 screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
