H\u00e5kan Spuhr showed off the Dual Dot, which he developed as a simple way of having two dots for two distances or two different ammos, like sub and super. It was a very simple project that he didn\u2019t end up producing but nevertheless, obtained a patent for.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little history from H\u00e5kan on how that came about. Years ago, Spuhr was contacted by a well known SF unit requiring a sight mount for an Aimpoint with two individual zeros in the mount. He says this was well before TaracHQ and Wilcox BOSS.<\/p>\n

The gun was a .300 blk that they intended on firing both subsonic and supersonic. Here is his first attempt to solve the problem which is a mount with a lever for two settings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you zero it you zero in position A, lever at front and ontain zero with the Aimpoint.<\/p>\n

When you switch ammo you move the lever to the B position (rearward) and zero elevation with adjustment screw at right side of base.<\/p>\n

The mount for twist mount is built into the mount.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The whole idea failed as the windage movement of the subsonic bullet was so big that windage adjustment was badly needed for position B.<\/p>\n

Spuhr said he really doesn\u2019t want to make a mount with both windage and elevation adjustments as that is just asking for problems.<\/p>\n

Next, he suggested incorporating the windage movement in the base, but with a forced non-adjustable movement, reqiring the customer to simply specify how much windage adjustment they needed for every mil of elevation travel.<\/p>\n

The customer rejected the suggested solution and required that both zeros should be individually movable and that was then Spuhr made the dual aimpoint mount.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The customer was not interested in a dual mount and only wanted a mount for Aimpoint with two zeros.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it\u2019s my absolute opinion that it\u2019s a really bad idea I left the project,\u201d explained Spuhr, \u201cAnother well known company took over but since I never saw any products I assume it didn\u2019t go as planned.\u201d<\/p>\n
