Scalarworks Sync With T-2 Back In Stock

[Kahamu]

For those waiting, the sync mount with T-2 bundle is back. https://scalarworks.com/shop/integral-mounts/sync-02/

Was waiting forever for this but decided to go with a T-2 on an ADM mount. I’m 5’10 so it feels great with the c stock in the middle position haha. Good luck!!

[Milspec]

Thanks for this.  They didn't send me a notification even though I signed up.  Hurt feelings.  LOL

[Ben elLes]

Who would have known those were so expensive… also out of stock it says.  Must have sold out quickly

A decent quality mount or other platforms these days will run you that much. This one happens to be exceptional.

i, too, did not receive a notification. alas, looks to be sold out again. 

[Milspec]

Luckily I snagged one.  One benefit for me is that I'm not too far from Scalarworks.  So, if my order is placed early enough it's pretty much next day delivery.  I should have my bundle today!

Not sure why we didn't get notified.  I signed up again about a week ago just to make sure.

Kahamu - saved my bacon.

Stand-alone mount is still in stock. 
 

I also grabbed one earlier today. 

[JonMon19]

Received an email and surprisingly still in stock. 

[Kahamu]

That checks. It's back in stock again, boys!

[Diesel79]

I think this is the route I’ll go vs the RMR or SRO. 
 

ive got a comp m5 on my AR so would probably stick with that one.  I like AAA batteries.

Just be careful of red dots that use aaa & aa batteries. The new batteries  made today do not last very long & tend to leak. 

[Milspec]

Use lithium ion batteries.  It mitigates the leakage factor.

[Gmcrigger2007]

Ok , I’ll try them out. I ‘ve had horrible luck using Duracell AA ‘s lately. 

[Diesel79]

Yea, lithium’s only in everything for me.  

[Kahamu]

@Milspechow do you like the sync + T-2 combo. Do you use the stock in the middle position or fully extended?

I haven't installed it yet.  I'm slacking.  I only have the field stock.

It's on the list..  I'm still waiting for a few other things.  CC mag tube, J-Kenny 2 piece shell latch etc.

Can't decide if I'm going to use my Scout M600 with the backbone light body or go with the Cloud Rein.

Been straightening out an AR this week.

My CompM5s arrived with some industrial grade AAA battery made in Belgium?. Haven't thought of changing it out to lithium, but if I were to would I see a boost in battery life?

I picked up a Scalarworks mount for my T-2 as well. It's currently sitting on an ak though until I get a few more accessories for the M4. 

Which light did you end up with? I went for the REIN. I'm going to try some ranger bands with the switch since I've got the IWC light mount on the way as well.

[Gmcrigger2007]

Everyone comments about using these red dot set ups with a C-stock , anybody have an opinion about how these sights work with  a field stock ? Looks like the top red dots are the Trijicons,Holosuns and Aimpoints . i like the aimpoint pro but i think that will be sitting too high with any Benelli stock.

[Treetommy]

I run the SYNC/02 and a T-2 on my M4 with a field stock. I think it’s great. No problem using the iron  sights. I agree about the PRO being too high, plus it would be heavy, about 12 oz. between the PRO, mount and rail vs. the ScalarWorks and a MRD is only 3 to 6 oz. depending on your optic choice.

Good question.  I'm still on the fence.  I'm terribly indecisive with this.  I have the Rein sitting in the box.  I charged the battery and tested it.  It is very well built from what I can tell.  Reminds me of Elzetta quality.  The unprotected cell thing freaks me out a little.  They act like if you put it in your pocket with car keys it will explode.  This can be changed to a protected cell with a small sacrifice of output I believe. 

Then I have a Surefire M600 head on an IWC backbone light body with a Surefire Z61 Tail Cap.  The Z61 is a great tail cap because you don't have to worry about machining the shroud like SD does.  They can be tough to come buy so I bought 2 and now have an extra.  It was mounted to my previous M4, only tested never used during live fire.  It's a lot lighter, slimmer and shorter than the Rein.  Although it has no where near the same output in Lumens and Candella. 

I'm still torn as to which way I'm going to go.  I don;t know if I should use the Rein and either sell or mount the Surefire on another platform.  Or Use the SF on the M4 and sell the Rein.  I like the Rein but I worry about adding more weight and a bigger light up front.  Then when I think about the SF I now feel it's small.  LOL

The Rein appears to be bomb proof though.  I've never handled a Modlite I believe the Rein to be a strong competitor.  Both made in the USA.  The light temp is different on the Rein vs the SF and Modlite.  Mrgunsngear did a really nice video on all 3.

  Thanks for the info on the Aimpoint while using the field stock. I didn't realize the  Aimpoint Pro weighed that much.

[Treetommy]

Your welcome. 11.6 oz. That’s the weight I found online, granted the mount it comes with is a brick. I guess it would be a little less because you would remove the riser, but it’s still heavy.

Seems like some of us are trying to make sure the T2 on the sync mount is usable with the collapsible stock on the middle setting. Can anyone confirm if this allows a natural cheek weld or if it sits too low? 

[SnidelyWhiplash]

@mashir , I have a Scalarworks Sync / T2 combo that I use with the collapsible stock in the middle position. It doesn’t allow me to use the iron sights but the T2 is positioned perfectly (dot centered in housing) with a good cheek weld. If I extend the c-stock I can use the irons or the T2 co-witnessed.
