So I just bought my first "precision" upper receiver. It's a used 6.5 Grendel upper and I found a cheaper but seemingly effective cabelas scope. Found a nice set of rings that I thought would work well for this rifle.
Fast forward and it's all put together and in order to get the scope where I wanted it I had to put one mount on the receiver and one mount on the hand guard. Did I just make a huge mistake...? I haven't shot it yet but I'm curious if I need to move the scope onto the receiver only.  Attached File |

Is this better...? I feel like such a bonehead, I am confident that it shouldn't be like that and yet I didn't catch it until I posted the picture!

Receiver only is best.

Keep it on the receiver unless you have a monolithic upper.
Otherwise you run the risk of damaging your scope. |

Buy a 1 piece cantilever mount.
