A new company called Zero-G is crowdfunding the development and manufacturing of a Carbon Fiber scope mount. Normally we don’t blog about crowdfunding projects, but this caught my attention.

The basic Advanced Carbon Fiber Scope Mount, which will cost $399, does not include a base. It is compatible with any ACOG-compatible bases. The Advanced Carbon Fiber Scope Mount with an American Defense Quick Release Base costs $449. The first 45 backers of the project who buy the mount with base, get $400 off the retail price of a range of high-end scopes if they choose to buy one at a later date.

Do you think Carbon Fiber mounts are a good idea?
