Jack Weigand No Drill No Tap Mount for GP100. Thoughts?

[gnmwilliams]

I got a Ruger Gp100 recently and am looking at mounting options for scopes and red dots. I've seen this No Drill No Tap option from Ruger GP-100 Scope Mounts No Drill and have read good things on other sites, but wanted to get opinions from folks here since I trust them more. Any thoughts or other suggestions would be welcome. My main questions are "would it be as stable as a drilled and tapped mount?" and "how much height would it add overall?" Oh, and I am not totally opposed to drilling and tapping my Ruger, I just didn't want to if I didn't have to. Thanks!

Price seems right. Get one and let us know.

If it's any consolation, that looks like about as stable and sturdy a way to mount a scope base as anything I've seen, mechanically. It certainly don't seem like it could move around, using the various notches on the frame and barrel the way it does.

Ok so my order came in today and will follow up with pics once my red dot comes in.

-Oh and I have just experienced first hand why American made tools are better. An American made 3/32 Allen wrench will actually fit a 3/32 sized screw unlike a cheap Chinese made set I had laying around that seemed like someone just said, "Meh, close enough!" and shipped it. Grr...
