Burris PEPR from Midway

1145 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  duke_39a
Bought a Burris PEPR mount. Pretty sure I ordered a 1" model. When it showed up and I tried to mount the scope there was no way my LEupold VX1 2x7x33 scope! The rings were huge! I mic'ed the rings with my calipers and they came out to 30mm. The package said 1" rings. I think the package just had the wrong label or the right label with wrong item in it. Anyone else have a similar issue with this mount or Midway USA? Am I missing something like some sort of spacer that was supposed in the package or I was supposed to order to get 30mm rings down to 1"?

well, look on the bright side, shouldnt be hard at all to sell that mount for what you have in it. Its really in demand.
I just got a Burris PEPR 1" from SWFA a couple weeks ago. It fits on my 1" scope perfectly.

I have one of each from SWFA. They were sent labeled right and packed right. Sounds like a factory goof though, not a Midway one.
Get w/ Midway. I'm sure they'll exchange it for the 1" one. Unless of course you were looking for an excuse to buy a 30mm scope.
I'm sending it back tomorrow. I figured it was a factory goof. Midway is a good company, I'm confident they'll make it right. At least I won't be looking at an unmounted scope all weekend and next week since I get to play Army at drill this weekend and then go on vacation for a week. Hopefully it and my Mk68 will be here when I get back next Sunday. I wish I could just buy a 30mm scope, but Household 6 just figured out how much I've spent on this project and I think I'm lucky I'm getting to complete it. All I have to do is replace her white gold engagement ring setting with a platinum one in order to continue to build ARs. It's ok guys, I know I'm whipped, but she's smoking hot, loves to shoot, fish, my dogs, and likes to go to the gym. She's also joining the army reserve as a nurse this month so I think you can all understand.

I'll update this post and put up pictures when I get the replacement and get it mounted on the Mk68.

I returned it to Midway and asked for an exchange for the right size, they didn't exchange it but they did refund my money. I don't think they believed me that they were 30mm rings in a box marked 1" rings. I know they were 30mm because I got out my calipers and measured them! 30mm on the dot.
