AR scope mount?

[soap]

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!! Lol

[clark.kent]

Here's a link to my build. It should give you some of an idea on what ring height to go with. I have no experience with the Burris P.E.P.R., but if these guys swear by them, they can't be half bad then.

Also, I have a DNZ mount on my .17 bolt gun and they're great.

That's a great looking rifle!

Appreciate it. With the Larue mount, it puts the center line of the scope at 1.5" above the rail. My 50mm objective has plenty of clearance at the hand guard. The DNZ mounts put the the center line at 1.375".

why? if the wild bor get too close. i'll need to go to C.Q.B. on that ass.

bayonet ftw

I'll make room

And on the other side you need to mount a camera to film all the tactical action.

What the fuck are you trying to say here?

You want the scope as close to bore axis as possible.

The only reasons to raise it are objective clearance, and the ability to reach the charging handle.

I understand that having the scope and bore closer together minimizes the vertical distance that POI will be off at distances other than what the scope is sighted in at.
I was talking more about small tactical scopes and red dots that don't require extra clearance for the objective. I've mounted one with a set of low rings I had sitting around on my AR just to see how it would be and really had to cram my cheek into it and angle my head down to look through it. Wasn't comfortable for me. Also had to use a riser on my Burris Fastfire on an AR for the same reason along with co-witness with the iron sights.

A burris fast fire is .6" from mount to dot (approximately). A scope on standard rings (depending on objective) is going to be double that or more, minimum. There is such thing as "too low" when it alters the usability of a rifle. Optic height above bore should be as low as possible (with magnified optic), while still allowing you to operate the rifle effectively. I.E. is co-witness an issue? Can you still operate the charging handle? etc.

I think it goes without saying that you can't co-witness through a magnified scope, hehe.

Apparently it didn't, based on Trick Pony's comparison between a tiny red dot and a real scope.

I was only playing along at first. But after seeing this im really going to buy this. Didn't know they make em that small.

Gotta do som research on this.

Well this is just goofy:

I did say I mounted one on low RINGS, so I was talking about small tactical scopes and red dot tubes at that point.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned the Fastfire after that and muddled the point.

I just looked up the parts I was using. Burris Xtreme Tactical low rings are 1/4" from rail top to bottom of scope, so we're talking .75" from rail to dot with a 1" scope. The setup was something I had on another rifle anyway, it wasn't intended for the AR. I just put it on there to see what it would be like.
It doesn't matter anyway. The only thing you could mount on rings that low on an AR is a straight tube red dot and the OP is talking about a magnified scope with an objective that's a lot bigger than the tube.
I guess my way of thinking wasn't really relevant to most things people are going to mount on an AR. You'd naturally be using higher rings already just to clear the top of the gun.
