American Rifle<\/a> may be a new company, but no doubt we will be seeing a lot more of them in the near future. Company president Theodore Karagias met with us last week and unveiled a new mounting system for optics. Coming from an engineering and aerospace background, Mr. Karagias takes the accepted design for optic mounts and throws them out the window. The wrapping style of his mount is more than simple aesthetics, it is less on optic longevity and truing up the mount. Take a look at the Web site for the technical information on these mounts, and know that we’ll be looking these hard getting ready for an upcoming review. I’ve already got one of my Aimpoints riding in this mount, and once the larger mounts are out, I’ll be dropping in my IOR Valda into the mix as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
