Hoping to get a trijicon accupoint for my Recce style AR. the tube diameter is 1 inch.
I'm just not sure which mount would be best. Right now I have a DD rear sight, but plan on switching to a Gen II MBUS or a troy battle BUIS. Can anyone give some guidance on which mount I need, or is it personal preference? I have a DD front sight, so I'm nto sure if that will alter my decision. |

LT139 and flip up rear site. LaRue sells the mount/scope combos here:

What power Accupoint scope are you planning to purchase? Generally anything from 3x up, the front sight is not visible in the field of view. If you can borrow a scope with the lowest power you want and try it.
I know that might not be possible as far as an Accupoint scope goes as I have never seen one, or an Aimpoint in a store that I have been in. |

the 1.25x4 model. Unfortunately im stuck on a campus, so no way to go try scopes Stuck in the windy city of Laramie 
Call LT and ask the guys about it ... they have seen about any combo you can think of and are great to talk to on the phone. The front sight will be visible at 1.25 power and then it will disapear as you go to 4 power. If it's lower 1/3 should be good to go at 1.25x and not sure the amount of blur of the sight. I have the same thing happen with Bushnell Banner 1.5 to 4.5 on my Marlin levers. |

Yea, not used to it, been in jackson a couple years now and have been spoiled. talked to them through email about different combos, an LT 104 was best for me, so the order has been placed

I had the same question, I called them and they said the 1inch will work. the scope gets here tuesday and the mount got here today. |

Lucky! unfortunately being in college keeps away the accupoint for awhile, but I do plan on getting a Leupold mark 4 to have by spring break. I will trade up for an accupoint around christmas hopefully.
ETA Mr. Larue, I'm good on my word http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=469428 I hope I don't offend you, ML, whatever optic I choose, it will be in one of your mounts, and the SBR build I'm doing in the summer will be using your handguards.

Just wanted to let everyone know how it went. Got my package today. Everything was awesome! they gave me(along with the stuff I ordered) a pocket dictionary of the constitution, which will be very handy for my POLS class, a larue hat, a dillo, 2 bumper stickers, and some dillo dust
So I couldn't wait until december to order a trijicon, so I ordered a Leupold 1.5-4x20 scope, which should be here saturday. THANK YOU LARUE TACTICAL! I think I gotta get more optics so I can buy some more LT stuff
