Ar-15 Scope Mounts

[wvuguy]

I am a new AR-15 guy and I was wondering what does everyone recommend for a scope mount. I have a leupold Vx-1 4-12x for the gun.

Nice scope deserves a nice mount: http://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/browse/category/opticmounts/scopemounts/

A nice scope mount under a hundred dollars What about the Leupold Mark 2 mount?

Konus Quickrings are good and relatively inexpensive as well. They also have a lifetime warranty so if your release mechanism on one goes up a couple years from now you're not stuck buying new rings. Engage and Freestate usually carry them, not sure about Western MD.

Never used it... but how about this:

Yeah, I doubt anyone around here carries them. Gun shops in Garrett are kinda limited. I bought some blackhawk rings but they are not high enough. I am looking at the leupold mark 2 mount or the Burris Pepr. But the Burris is a turn off for me as it is made in China.

I am afraid those won't be high enough. I got high rings for it yesterday and it feels awkward and is kinda in the way of the charging handle.

I have found ARMS mounts to be excellent quality and always start with them when looking for AR mounts.

don't skimp. Get these and thank yourself.

Here is a picture of the current set up. It doesn't feel right. Does anyone have previous experience on the Leupold Mark 2. It is American made which is a plus. Here I had to move the scope up to have room for the charging handle.

The Pepr is a nice mount but it won't fit some of my scopes.

Personally this is why I used the American Defense mount, it's got the offset you need to make it work. Is it expensive, yes. Is it worth it, Yes.

That set up of yours makes mine look like junk but my pockets are not filled with cash.

I got it all on sale.

I think that if the PEPR fits, it might be your best choice.

I have some really inexpensive stuff too... it's not all gold plated equipment, but seriously, it's better to buy once/cry once.

Also this if it fits: http://www.basspro.com/Nikon-M223-XR-AR-Scope-Mount/product/1205170501171/ (I think this is a 1" tube though)

What size was your scope that did not fit the Pepr??? That Nikon looks nice, I wonder if it is made in USA.

I am considering this one, I want to see what people think before i dumped a hundred bucks. http://www.opticsplanet.com/leupold-mark-2-ims-ar-riflescope-rings-mount.html

It's the baddest scope ever made by BSA. (I'm serious, this thing is sick)

This is much nicer, and only a little more money.

This does give a lot of room. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_18/592218_Leupold_Mark_2_IMS_1_piece_base_picture.html here is another option I found. Rock River Arms http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Rock_River_Arms_Hi_Rise_1_Scope_Mount_AR0130_p/rra-ar0130.htm
