| Well I love the look and function of the DD Omega 7 rail. I really like how the rail mates up with the flattop rail. Are they any other rails that span the gap over the delta ring? I want to move my scope forward an inch or so and that is right when my delta ring is. |

i like the look of the VLTOR CASV-EL, and there is another rail similar to that that looks very agressive but with the same style that overlaps the standard upper.
Here is a pic of my CASV minus the rear BUIS, i only put that on because i just recieved it in the mail and wanted to see it on the gun, didnt fit behind the rail system (cant go UTG on the BUIS, have to spend a little more cabbage.)

Quoted:
Dont bridge the cap between the rail and upper with a scope mount. A very slight movement in the rail and throw your zero off.... Better to just get a LaRue SPR mount and leave the mount entirely on the actual upper. Movement? There are 4 set screws that go into the barrel nut, that thing ain't moving.

Thats true, but the slightest movement will throw the zero... so why chance it? |

there's two sides to this argument-
1 - if you use a flip up front site, you need to accept that your rail is good enough to put an optic on it. or 2 - you accept that rails are imperfect, can bend, flex with temperature changes, crack, etc- therefor you shouldnt put anything on it but a light and a VFG i go with 2, personally. i just hate to see people with flip up front sites talk about how you shouldnt put a RDS or scope on your rail. if it's not good enough for an optic, its not good enough for your front site either. |

Both KAC and LaRue do not recommend doing it, and they make the best rail systems out there. I think they know a thing or two about rails...

| I have a sabre with a troy rail and it currently has the scope mounted across the gap on the rail and the flat top and it seems to have a different POI every time I shoot it and you can actually feel the rail flex a little with slight finger pressure between the barrell and the rail so I'm going to move it back before shooting again. It probably wouldn't matter a bit for close up shooting but for precision shooting I like to eliminate as many variables as possible. |

The OP is talking about a continuous top rail. He explained that he does not want to bridge the gap which wouldn't be there with a continuous top rail anyway. |
