I bought a pepr mount and just bought a burris xtr 1.5x6x40.  I plan to mount it on an ar-10 carbine.  When mocking it up it fits better backwards?  The pepr mount is made to bring the scope more forward?  Correct?  I read that it gives you that nose on the charging handle fit.  I cant put my head that far forward comfortably.  Is there a problem using it the other way?  Am I doing something wrong?  It feels good with the scope about 2 in behind the charging handle.  Its going to be used for qcb and out to 2-300 yds.

If you have a long fixed or a collapsible stock all the way out you won't be able to put our head in a comfortable position for NTCH.

It doesnt NEED to be on the charging handle?  I wouldnt want it there anyways as the recoil is much more than a ar-15.  I can still reach the charging handle, but am considering an oversized one.

I would not run it backwards. You can scoot it back on the upper a bit. Most 308 platform's sit the stock a little farther back and the upper rail extends farther forward than the ar15.

2" behind the upper seems quite a bit farther back than normal. What stock are you using and what is your eye relief on the Burris scope?

Im using a regular full fixed stock.  The eye relief is about 2-3''.  Which side do the throw levers go on? Right or left?   The extended part of the mount goes tward the front of gun or rear?

Got it.  Thanks for the pic.  I set it up that way and can get eye relief with the scope even with the charging handle.  I bought the scope and mount separate and used with no instructions and struggled for a minute.  Im good to go.  Thanks.

Normally it's mounted like this.
