I've used both the 1" and 30 mm versions and I think they are great systems. Only disadvantage I found was it's kind of a p.i.t.a. to go from 100 to 200 and to re-zero after finding a load.

I agree. I finally placed some marks on the knobs to go between 100 and 200.

I have that mount on a Leupold 40X. I like it. No problem going to 200. Just aim and crank the crosshair up plus or minus about an inch and a half and shoot. It's usually in the ballpark.

I have 3 of Brackneys mounts. Two are on Stiller group guns and one is on a Kodiak HBR. Since the mounts have micrometer knobs they are easy as pie to move. I always center my groups in group shooting so I might move them every match Come up from 100 to 200 is one and a half min. About 3 min. more to 300 from 200 on the HBR. Each mark or thousandth is worth about 3/4 min. This would vary depending to your ring spacing.

Have two. Love them. No clicks. Once you figure out using the known separations of the rings on the 100 and 200 yard targets and your load drops its silly easy to go from one yardage to another. Greg
How long has Bob offered a 1" setup? Last I knew he did 30 mm only??

It's not the actual movement that's a PITA, it's the scramble to find a damn .050" allen wrench when the MD says to put the bolt in the rifle and the clock starts ticking!!

Sorry for being a DA but why do you need an .050 allen wrench? I've used my Brackney system for years with complete satisfaction and never needed an .050 allen wrench.

Gene, probably to tighten the tension/lock screw in the rear mount. It can worl loose and out over time with the spring ejecting the plunger that holds the scope against the two adjusting micrometers. Happened to me this year at the IBS 200/300 score national. My fault for not being more watchful. Ruined my shooting day! Greg

I have one and like it. I have had the same issue as Greg with the set screw in the tensioning holder being missing. I also found that the set screws on the thimbles need to be watched for tight; had that problem the last time I shot with it. It's hard to beat the Brackney System,In my opinion. Adjusting it IS stupid easy, just dial to the hole the last shot made from where you were holding is all there is to it.
I don't know if the locking down on 6PPC rifles is less an issue, which I suspect is the case but those on the 30's seem to require a bit more attention.
I would like to get my hands on a couple of the 1" setups for my HBR rifles. I have two frozen Burris HBR II's.

Yes it does. I remember checking them once but haven't checked them lately. I'll take a look and be sure everything is secure. I'll let you know.
You can use the screws to lock down the adjustments or to put a little tension on them so you can move them to adjust poi but with enough friction so the barrels don't move under recoil. The big issue is when they are adjusted with a bit of friction and you don't check them and the one on the tension plunger barrel backs full out and the whole works goes shooting across the range floor.
