So my Strike Eagle 5-25X56 FFP has shipped and I need to get a mount en route ASAP. It’s a 34mm tube.
I don’t know what height should I get? It will be mounted on an 18” AR with the Magpul PRS stock. Also, recommendations for which mount I should look at? I run a ADM Recon on a LPVO I have and like it but don’t consider the QD aspect a necessity on this gun. Thanks in advance for any advice! Strike Eagle 5-25x56 FFP This is the rifle;  Attached File |

Larue 204 CAN is a good option.
Given the cost of your optic, I don't see buying a more expensive mount. Does Aero have a 34mm mount? They're pretty budget friendly. |

With the size of that objective do I need a medium height mount though? That’s my main concern. Never ran a scope like this in an AR.

Love that CAN! I had not seen that before. Great price point for a LaRue product!

I wouldn't get any vertical split rings mounts. Pain the in ass to mount. What's your budget? The 1.5" height area is a good place to be as mentioned.

MPA makes a really nice mount..I run one on my bolt rifle...my mount is a 1.125" tall on a 4.5-27-56 razor..mounted on a 20 moa rail it would hit the rail at that height...they offer taller 1.250 and 1.5" mounts as well in 34mm..

Kinda spendy for a $600 scope though. |

Burris PEPR mount really isn;t a bad option and won;t be overly expensive.

Geissele would be my pick, made from one billet and the rings are cut and serialized from the spot they came from. They are very well designed high quality mounts.

Those Warne mounts are pretty good. I actually have one sitting here waiting for my Razor 1-10 right now. I have used the RAMPs for a while on my 3 gun AR.

Leupold's AR specific fixed cantilever mount, Mark AR, is a solid, inexpensive choice. It moves the scope up to match AR stock cheek weld height and forward enough to permit proper eye relief. It should clear that 56mm objective lens just fine. Its best to keep the scope as low as possible consistent with stock height, to minimize cant error.
It has three lugs on the bottom, multiple cross bolts (5 I think) and horizontally split rings, each with four screws, yet only weights 6 ounces. It is about $75-85 street price from most vendors and is available in 34mm tube size, I normally recommend Larue LT series or ADM Recon, but you don't need QD RTZ and this Mark AR checks all your boxes at a very attractive price. |
