Mounting a scope question

[c4snipar]

I don't think this is good, my scope is touching the free floated handguard.

Vortex viper 44mm on a set of Vortex medium rings (bought it as a combo)

You need an AR scope mount system.

IMHO you need higher ring bases.

I mount scopes higher on the rifle than most. I want it where I can see through it when I mount the rifle like a shotgun.

Will send it back to cabelas for a set of high as an exchange, Thanks

I see, but I don't like the look on my rifle if the scope is mounted too high

Yankee Hill Machine riser blocks will get you where you need to be.

Can you even center the ocular with your eye? Parelax will be hell if you can't.

This ones good- used it with a VX-1 with no problems. Make sure you buy the one in accordance with your tube dia. Will give you a perfect scope height without risers or any other problems.

I had my scope mounted and touched the rail. Shot way low I was thinkin WTF. Got home saw the problem and moved the scope forward a bit. Next range trip bingo worked great.

If I am getting a set of high rings as an exchange, will that be ok without the riser? Save cost and less hassle?

Haven't try it yet but with the medium rings, I looked through the scope and it was fine but it's touching the rail

Good for you but it's doesn't seem to be my case, I tried a couple of time move it around its still touching. Hopefully the high rings works

Absolutely agree, I have the Burris on my other ar works fine but since the ring came with the scope, I want to use them instead of spending extra money on buying an extra set and having the hassle to sell existing rings.

Cool but mine scope is 30mm.

You should mock things up and see where your eye falls in relation to the scope. The YHM risers are 1/2 inch and may work with your mounts. They aren't terribly expensive either.

AR scopes sit pretty damned high due to the stock/cheek weld. Normal rifles/scopes are set about 1.5 inches above centerline. AR's require about 2 inches above centerline.

Nikon, DNZ, and other companies make the mounts that will set the scope to the correct height without any guesswork.

Good luck with it.
