I have used Spuhr mounts since I first started F Class, they are excellent if heavy mounts.
The price has always been painful @ $495 for the one I purchased yesterday. While doing my web search, a link popped up on AliBaba with an identical looking mount for 20% of the BRT price.
Spuhr are aware of this and they say it's made of lower quality alloy and not made to tolerances - but they would say that wouldn't they. It's a bit of a generalisation without specifics, so I'll take that with a grain of salt.
The link is here >> AliBaba
I didn't buy one, I bought the real item, but looking at the photos on Alibaba you cannot tell the difference, it's all there down to the patent numbers.
So I guess this is a bit of a heads up for anyone buying a bargain on eBay or used guns, especially if it's without the box.
Counterfeit item
Anyone bought one?

I noticed that they only offer the SP 3002 model
Only thing missing in the pics is the Sphur logo on side of mount, even the fonts look the same

Another site with different colours and height options >> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005972050122.html
Mount with 34mm tube option >> 34mm
Look hard enough and you can find a NF ATACR 7-35 for $450
