- I tried to use the B-Square on my 96 with unsatisfactory results. The
- main purpose of using this mount is to shoot at a local club at 600 yds and at
- Camp Perry at 1000 yds in the any sight/any rifle category. First the scope is
- placed so high and the comb of the issue stock is so low that you use the side
- of your chin for a stock weld. I used a Burris 10x intermediate eye relief
- scope and found the field of vision extremely limited, making a good stock weld
- near impossible. Also the mount itself is not secure since it attaches to the
- sight leaf allowing some perceptible rotational movement in the windage
- direction around the sight leaf attachment point; I used a shim between the
- leaf and the sight base to help minimize this problem. Another problem of base
- movement occurs during recoil, where the whole base and scope rotates in the
- windage direction; I tried to minimize this by wrapping a plastic tie around
- the base and stock. I think that the poor stock weld can be solved by using
- another stock with a higher or adjustable cheek piece. I do not have a solution
- in stopping the base movement problem; maybe a call to B-Square may help.
