Default Re: Scope Mounting Question

A better choice would be something like the cantilever mount options like Larue Tactical or American Defense has. It won't be as cheap as the mount you posted, but it'll be correct. I'm fairly anal about things being "correct" so if I did something that I felt wasn't the best or was some sort of "rig", I wouldn't be able to handle it. Larue even makes a model specifically for scopes that require extended eye relief. I'm a firm believer that the scope is only as good as the mount. You can put the best scope on the planet on a shitty mount and it won't perform like you might expect. If what you have works for you, then I say leave well enough alone. If you have any issues, look into either one of the options I've mentioned or move your mount as far forward on your receiver as possible and not spanning both the receiver and the hand guard. Unless you're fairly short, you could also play with moving the stock back one notch to give you that extra eye relief you're looking for.
