Rigit Kit from Mission Spec

The new Rigit Kit from Mission Spec serves as an adapter that allows any PALS compatible surface accept the vertical male buckles and hook Velcro backing found on industry standard mountable chest rigs. The kit consists of six pieces that affix to columns of PALS webbing. Two of the pieces, referred to as Alpha Pieces, have ITW QASM buckles at the top and loop Velcro on their surface. The other four pieces, referred to as Bravo Pieces, have loop Velcro on their face.

Installation seems to be quite easy (see the video below). While this is shown in use with the Mission Spec Essentials Only Carrier (EOC), it should work with other carrier that have sufficient PALS coverage.

Check out the Rigit Kit at Mission Spec.

Scalarworks LDM Repeat Zero Test

Scalarworks has produced a video that shows very graphically how well their mounts repeat zero after being removed and replaced on the rail. The test shows 100 shots being fired in groups of 10 with the optic being removed and reinstalled between each volley. The optic steadfastly returns to zero in each case. They didn’t just test the LDM on any old carbine. They mounted it on a .308 battle rifle known for being very hard on optics, the FN SCAR 17.

In my own testing, I saw no discernible zero shift when removing and replacing the mount.
