3.25 is fine. All you’ll need is the offset mount.

Any chance anyone knows if the Reptilia ROF-SAR offset mount will clear the end bell of the vortex viper pst 2x10x32 scope without needing a riser block?

Depending on what the use of this rifle is, perhaps look into a closed emitter red dot instead of the RMR? I've heard good things about the Badger Condition One mounts that you can attach an offset directly to it use a J-Arm. I'm going to be doing that for an Aero M5 16" .308 I'm currently building.

Add to that the height over bore and you will have a fun time trying to zero it. My recommendation for offset red dots is always the Arisaka offset mount with the appropriate mounting plate. It correctly indexes off the barrel. ETA if you plan on using that to mount the red dot at 12 o’clock then disregard the above. If you’re looking to offset it at an angle, then the above applies |

I am also building a 16"M5. Will check out the closed emitters. Looks like several manufacturers has one now. The aimpoint acro is kind of large.

Thanks luny. That mount does look like a great option. I could use it with a large spr-e and run the red dot mount at the rear of the upper rail. Think that would be a good solution. Now I just need to decide on a red dot. So many choices now a days.

The Acro and Holosun equivalents are roughly the same size as the RMR, its just deceptively big. I'm just worried about dirt blocking the emitter as I drag this thing around. If this is a bench type gun then it's irrelevant really |

FWIW, the Acro is advertised as the "smallest enclosed system on the market", though it does use a relatively "odd" battery choice of CR1225. Easy to find online but may not be as available locally as a CR2032 or CR1632. |

I would definitely recommend the arisaka offset mount. Got it for my last build and is super nice and can change angles if needed.

It is not going to be like the Garand and scope mounted sniper rifles of WW2 at long ranges. |
