Recommend me a scope mount

[Truthlesshero81]

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Vortex Strike Eagle, I need suggestions for a good, reasonably priced mount. Does not need to be QD but wouldn't mind having that feature.

Looking for real users input.

Rifle is a Sig M400 AR with a fixed front post and folding read sight. It's my current SHTF go gun.

If you are looking for a decent mount, that won't break the bank, take a look at the Burris P.E.P.R. mount. You can get it as a regular mount or a QD mount. I am running the P.E.P.R. on all rifles with a 1913 rail, that need a scope.

I asked a similar question a while back. https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=199070

What did you end up getting?

Midway currently has as good a price as I've seen on the standard Burris P.E.P.R. mount for 1 inch tubes.

I'm going with the Aeroprecision. One of my local shops has them in stock, just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Similar here, P.E.P.R. on all my ARs.

I got a pair of Votex Viper rings for $40

For QD, I recently settled on the Burris PEPR. I'm happy with it but it's not perfect. As tight as it will go, I can grab the scope/rail and (with some effort) slide it forward/aft on the upper maybe 1/32". I've tried it on other uppers with same results. A few minutes with the Dremel to shorten the 'stops' that limit how far down the adjustment nuts can go will likely fix this. But, I'm not sure how important this really is for my use (I don't expect a 1/4" MOA).

That said, I really like being able to easily remove/attach the scope, mostly for ease of transport. A scoped gun really takes up space in the gun carrying case.

I use non QD Pepr mounts on my rifles. QD is not worth the hassle if you have a wheeler fat wrench. Everything is QD when you have the correct tools in your range bag. freebird have you adjusted the locking wheel on the back? Those have alot more adjustment than where they 'stop'. You sometimes have to force them but you can get some more out of them.

Aero precision is a good option.

I have the 30mm QD LaRue LT104 mount on my AR along with BUS.
Not cheap but pretty much the gold standard IMHO for QD mounts.
Absolutly holds zero after revoval and remounting.

Not sure how reasonable priced you want to go or how much quality, but this is pretty well reviewed and a couple of ounces lighter than the PEPR

I just ordered one to mount up a Bushnell trophy XLT 3-9x40 on my AR-15. I can tell you rough quality in a couple of days, though the scope was a Black Friday deal from PSA, so I am guessing I won't see it for a couple of weeks which means I won't be shooting it till probably around Christmas.

I got 2 Warnes scope rings from Amazon and they are excellent and good price to boot. Both scopes were on zero in about 15 rounds, I was impressed.
