Does anyone use an acog on a vltor casv? What kind of mount?

Google (couple on first page).

There are really only a few mounts for ACOGs and it really doesn't matter which one you use as there aren't issues such as co-witness. I would recommend the LaRue LT-100 as that's what I have. The standard TA51 mount is pretty good, too.

The type of ACOG you get might change your mounting options slightly. I'm referring to TA31 (4x32) series of ACOGs.

Well Im asking because the casv is gonna add height to the top of the upper and if the mount is too high then I will not be able to have a nice cheek weld

I get that. My point is that there are no real height differences for ACOG mounts (the A.R.M.S. mount looks like it may have a little height to it), so you won't be having any worries about the height due to mount––it will all come from the CAS-V.

Having never used a CAS-V with my ACOG, I can't address the cheek-weld issue.

I'm using an Acog with the Vltor CASV and having the same problem-crappy cheek weld. I tried both the Acog mount and the Larue mount with no luck.
Still haven't come up with a solution as I really like both the acog and the casv. FWIW.

1-4 would be my choice. No need for $200 mount either, good rings would do fine.

IIRC ARMS makes a low mount for the ACOG...but the difference is maybe 1/4" or so. Probably not worth it.

In reality the ACOG can only so low due to the design. As much as I love my ACOGs and highly recommend them,  in your situation maybe a different scope...or maybe adding a small cheekrest?

I went with an aimpoint micro T1 in a mount meant for an hk416 for now. The noveske upper and casv will be here monday and the t1 will be whenever larue gets around to shipping it
