SINCLAIR INTERNATIONAL SPOTTING SCOPE BENCH MOUNT STAND

Very sturdy and practical product. Carries easily, safely w/o movement my 4.6 lbs spotting scope. If I would change anything, I would add a quick release plate system to the vertical scope plate instead of the present screw mount. Of course I followed the lead of ELYLV's recommendation (see reviews) and ordered the Manfrotto 323 RC2 System from B & H also. Hopefully that will make it easier to attach the scope at the range etc.

At the public range that I shoot at the benches are almost 12 inches in thick. In the product description it states that the stand will work with a bench 12 inches thick! Not with a straight eyepiece. You will only have 6 inches of the stand above the surface of the bench. The length of the stand needs to be around 24 inches in height in my opinion. Other wise a very nice piece of equipment. I went to a metal supply company and purchased a piece of aluminum tubing 24 inches long to solve this problem.

This stand is the best thing Ive purchase for my shooting sport sense 1960, that was a left handed rifle. Stand is very steady, easy to adjust and Rugged. Improvenments add a thumb screw, and a rotating washer to the clamp at the bottom . *** A+ Top Quality. Thanks ferrett

Well put together. I almost returned it since you had to use tools to add your scope. I fixed what I did not like by adding a quick release plate. Use at the range to hold spotting scope for targets.

Very happy with Manfrotto 323 RC2 System Quick Release Adapter with 200PL-14 Plate B&H # MA323 MFR # 323

This works great and no tools to remove your scope. An extra $32 but it was worth it to me. They should add a thumb screw to the foot screw for this price but still nice stuff from Sinclair as usual.

The plate does clear the foot on the Sinclair so the adjustment knob works as intended.

Need a polecat creedmoor stand if your are competitive shooter.

I give it five stars with two suggestions.

1. The bottom plate T-handle needs a rotating washer on it where it contacts the bench that you are tightening it to.

My bench today was fabric coated with wood underneath. The T-Handle bolt went right through the fabric and into the wood.

With a wider washer on it, it would have stopped at the fabric and tightened up. If you have solution/suggestion for me please let me know. Otherwise I will carry with me a piece of sheetmetal or steal for the T-hanble bolt to tighten up on.



2. The scope head assembly would be better if the hex bolt that attaches to the spotting scope was a knob. One less tool to bring and easier to attach.

Hesitated to spend this much for a spotting scope stand, but it has been worth it. The stand is solid and holds your scope as steady as a rock. And it is very adjustable. One improvement would be to use a thumbscrew instead of a hex head bolt for attaching your scope onto it. All in all, this is an excellent product and I highly recommend it.

When I first bought mine, I winced at the cost, but I'm a believer in the "cry once" philosophy. It has never been more true than with this purchase.



I got so tired of re-aligning my short bench-top tripod with every shot. Sometimes I used a high-power scope stand placed next to the bench. That had issues too. So, I tried this device. It's great! Very stable and rugged.



It also works great for standing positions provided you have a post or something similar to mount it to. I use the roof support posts on our firing line. Place it at eye level from a standing position and there you go! Only issue is you'd best watch where you're walking. It is stout and won't give a bit when you run into it. Ask me how I know . . . I do learn fast though.



I heartily recommend this item.

I purchased this bench mount scope stand for ease of transporting it to my brothers farm for shooting on a portable bench. Craftsmanship is built into this Sinclair product as all of the items I purchased from them. As always, I am extremely pleased. This mount is sturdy, strong and stays where you set it. If you are looking for a fair priced bench mount scope stand, this is it.

I use this mount on my range sighting rifles.
I also use this mount to view deer in and out of a blind to score & age them for hunters that are being guided on a hunt.
This mount is so versatile and secure so it won't fall down in a wind and damage your spotting scope.
I can't find any faults with it and none better to be found this good.

Very good idea. Very simple but works great. No instructions needed. Strong, solid, very easily adjustible. Best of all...no fear of knocking it over or your scope falling or being damaged.

usefull for shooting range

Excellent and versatile stand. I use it for both a scope stand at the benchrest range and for mounting / positioning a brass catcher at the pistol ranges.

This is the best bench mount for your spotting scope around. Every time I am at the range, someone asks where I bought it. Even fits on the concrete poured bench rests. It allows me to adjust every which way to get a good easy look at my shots without having to kink my neck and put down my weapon. Solid heavy duty quality construction. Don't even sweat the price. You get what you pay for. Professionally built to last a lifetime and more.

A rock-solid mount for any size spotting scope. Unaffected by wind, out of the way so you have full use of the benchtop. Cannot be easier to move from rifle sights to ocular with virtually no body movement so you don't have to bend, twist or turn to reposition yourself for the next shot. The cost is reasonable for an outstanding shooting aid.
