Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mp_moody: I've had a Badger COMM 1.7" mount on backorder from Eurooptic for a little over a week. I planned on mounting an RMR for passive NV capabilities. I've been browsing the EE, eBay, etc but can't find this mount in stock anywhere. I'm not impatient yet but I am growing a little antsy. Will I be disappointed if I go with the 1.54" Nightforce Ultramount on my NX8? I know I'll lose the easy RMR mounting options. I would consider Geissele but everything G seems perpetually out of stock. Do I stick it out for the Badger? Reptilia AUS 1.7" is best, IMO. Especially if you're mounting stuff at 12. |

Hopefully PMM makes ones for the 30mm Reptilia AUS- they currently only have them for the 34mm AUS. I'd love a top ring mount for the holosun K footprint, without resorting to going the adapter route. The holosun EPS is solid. |

That is the Koeng 509T mount in my pic, the factory Badger RMR mount is really bad (too tall), maybe designed for a tall turret |

Yea I'm glad I found out about the different top caps, it opens up options. I like badgers but I'm not using their tall top cap.

Here is the Koeng 509T mount next to the factory Badger RMR/507C mount. Looks like the reptilia puts the bottom of the optic lower than both compared to the turret

Anyone know which is lower between the PMM or Reptilia setup?

I think the difference is so small you'd be hard pressed to notice it even using them back to back. That's what I figured based on looking at all the pics. It does however look like the T2 mount is decently lower from PMM, so it may vary by optic. |

I picked up two COMM 1.7's from Eurooptic several weeks ago, looks like I may have slid in right before they ran out. I have a Geissele 34mm mount but hate the rib stopping the use of levelling wedges.
