I'm getting ready to build a varmit rig, and I am thinking about going with one of these elevated receivers. I have never shot an AR that had one of these. Any issues i should know about?
With regular height rings, will they sit the scope up too high for a regular A2 buttstock? Like this... http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=227 |

My thoughts (I said thoughts, not expert advise) on the elevated optics platform are this. I have never had a problem using a standard flat top and a LaRue SPR Mount ro SPR-E mount for the scope. They mount the scope solid and at the right hight for me.
The down fall I see with the EOP is that if you decide down the road to change to a carbine with a red dot or somethng else, you have to buy a new receiver. I know that doesn't answer your question but just something to think about. |
| Yeah, just don't do it. In order to get proper head position you're going to need a rail (or SPR/E) that goes a lot further forward. You can use a Larue mount or an extended elevated rail and short or med rings. If you get that receiver you'll be pretty much hosed every way you turn. |
