Is anyone running rings on an AR-10 instead of a one piece mount?
I was wondering, because of the longer top rail of the AR10, if there was enough room to use rings instead of a cantilever mount of some kind. I ask because I recently picked up a Strike Eagle 5-25 I want to use on my AR10, but eventually I plan on getting a bolt gun and will migrate the scope to that gun instead. Looking for the most compatible mount to do this with, so I figured rings would allow me to easily move to the bolt gun. Thoughts? |

Leupold Mark IV aluminum (or steel) rings on a Remington R-25.
Very stout, reasonably light weight, the mount on 1913/picatinny rail. |

Problem is height. You will need 1.5" height rings for an AR but when going to a bolt gun you will only need 1" height for that scope. If you have a bolt gun with a higher adjustable comb you could probably make it work but you will have to see if it works for you.

But frankly, I'd buy a 1 piece mount for the AR10, then buy rings for the second rifle when it's time. Then he has a mount for the AR10. I want through the same thing in the opposite direction a few years back. Bought a 1 piece mount for a marlin 336. I was planning on moving the scope and mount to an AR once I got the scope I wanted for the 336. |

Yup he could go with something like the Badger Ordnance 22 moa riser and a 1” set of rings so that when he gets the bolt gun he can move the scope and rings over no problem. I actually have one of the risers on a Creedmoor AR and it works fine.

I run rings on a AR15, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Personally I've never understood why AR patterns "need" a 1.5" height, the cheek weld is horrible (for me anyway).

I run Warne QD extra high rings with a SWFA SS 3-15x on an Aero large frame. No issues getting that one where I need it, and makes it easier to cram the gun in the safe thanks to the QD.

Warne QD rings with a Zeiss Conquest 1" tube 50mm. No issues, I believe they were the tall mounts.
