I've got a lead on a really good price for a razor gen 2 3-18 x 50 that I'll be mounting to a KAC LPR (18" AR). I find it slightly odd that vortex doesn't offer a 34mm mount. I don't want rings since this beast will require an offset mount to give anything near a proper cheek weld.
I would normally go for a QD mount in case SHTF and I need to use my irons. However, for this application I've decided to get some 45 degree offset irons when I can find them and use a fixed mount because the only QD mount I ever use is for a vmx3 magnifier on 14.5 (great magnifier by the way - the old one with the rubber overmold that's just a tad too chunky IMO but still okay)
My research has led me to a JP 34mm offset mount:
http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPFTSM-34E They look rugged, well designed and smooth. I don't want extra rails on the mount, but this one at least leaves open the possibility should I change my mind.
A) Will this mount work with the scope? It's a standard height mount and that should provide enough clearance to mount a 50mm objective.
B) Anyone else have another mount suggestion? Preferably one thats <$400.
