Larue Tactical /thread Click here for the LT649 http://stores.homestead.com//Laruetactical/catalog/P1011704200.JPG +1 Larue, but I may go with the LT-150 as it's a solid mount. The above mount is more for the 3X magnifier/NVGs. http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/catalog/P1011698%20200.JPG |

My LaRue Cantilever LT-129 QD mount Another +1 for LaRue Aimpoint QD mounts. If you plan on NOT using a magnifier later on the LaRue LT-150 standard straight mount as shown above would be great. I use an Aimpoint magnifier sometimes so I went with the LaRue LT-129 cantilever QD mount, it gives me more room for my magnifier and maybe some other NV optics in the future.

+3 Get the LT129. It's the best option, as it provides lower 1/3 cowitness, and leaves room for irons and a magnifier.

Wilcox.
I don't understand the need for a throw lever Aimpoint mount. If the sight were to fail, you can still see the irons through it. |

Rock solid. Can't go wrong with the LT-150 either... but the LT-129 leaves room for a mag or NV set up as well... so the LT-129 it is for me. |

I guess fo rme, having a QD and not needing it is better then the other way around.... plus back in the day, all that was available was QD (AImpoints mount, ARMS and then LaRue)
But I would not have a problem running the new Danile Defense mount. I think it boils down to personnel choice and what you need to have or do. |

Oh yeah and bullets aren't the only thing that can break glass. |

Um... I like having a QD mount so that I can shoot with Irons on a whim... and not have to worry one bit about re-zero'ing my optic...
even if this wasn't the reason, I'd still have Larue... |

Beyond the beauty of the Wilcox mount, I can only support one mentally unstable company at a time. I used that option on AAC, so I can't support LaRue!

C'mon fella's, put you pee pee's back in your pant pant's.
To the OP, I +5 to the LT- 129, not only for the reasons stated below but also because you can store a spare battery in the watertight compartment as well. Quoted:

Hmmm
Let me think for a minute. When I turn my upper receiver upside down while cleaning and and spray gunk remover all over everything do I really want that crap running all over my optic? Would I like the optic to return to zero when I put it back on? There's one reason. Oh an dI really like the Bobro cantilever mount |

As to QD, there are quite few ultra-sonic tanks in use for firearms cleaning and folks apparently have decided it best to remove their glass before submerging in the tanks.

I think they have a good product, but I'm no lacky of those guys. I think their shinannigans are just as ridiculous as yours. I'm the last person to blindly "fanboy" any company. I think AAC is equally as nutty as you, man! I don't get free shit from anyone to promote product. So if those dicks at AAC want to play dodge ball while thier website sits unfinished for the upteenth month, I'll call the nonsense out! 
AAC makes good stuff. LaRue obviously makes good stuff too based on the widespread reputation. When I pick out something, I will buy regardless of the lunacy of the pricipal of the company if the product is good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from LaRue if I needed a product. I just don't need anything that LaRue makes at this time. I was joking about not supporting more than one nut at a time. I'm sure I'll buy LaRue gear at some point in my shooting life. |

Cuz it's friggin funny. If there were any truth to it, it wouldn't be so funny. How I became AAC's bitchboy I'll never know. I'm simply an AAC customer, but I don't shill their stuff. Maybe LaRue is mad because I posted that I wanted to go to SHOT for the sole purpose of seeing him get hauled off in a straight jacket?

I have the aimpoint QRP mount only because Midway had an incredible deal: CompC sight and mount for only $388. Now just the aimpoint alone costs more than that, and another $100 for the mount.
It has a twist knob to remove the sight and mount, and I have removed the unit multiple times, and it has maintained zero. Last trip out, I actually removed the unit, and moved it further back on the rails, and it still maintained zero. My only complaint is the large knob sticking out on the left side of my M4, and I will eventually got to a LaRue or Brobo. |
