Hi all,

Anyone out there have experience with the Mathis Instruments lineup of heavy duty mounts (MI-500, MI-750, MI-1000)? If so, I would be interested in hearing any experiences you had and how you feel about their products.

thanks!
Josh

I've not used one but I have seen them at NEAF. They are basically up-sized versions of the Mountain Instruments MI-250, a mount that I own and am very pleased with. The design is based on the long-published ideas of Russel Porter. Perhaps they can give you references to current owners.
