Recently I purchased a RRA scope mount. I have not mounted it on my rilfe yet, nor taken it to the range so a report will have to come later. Here are some pictures though for reference. I hope they are helpful for anyone considering one of these mounts.

Looks familiar.

Have you tested it to make sure its 'true' (both rings in perfect alignment)?

Forest, I have not yet tested the sight to make sure it was true. I understand the concept behind this, though is there an easy way that you can suggest to test it?

How about a 1" dowel rod or pipe?  Serious long-range shooters will lap the rings that way before dropping the scope into them, to make sure the interfaces are lined up.  (I've never bothered, but 99% of my shooting has been at 100yds or less.)

When you get it mounted can you measure the distance between the top of the flattop and the bottom of the scope tube for me?

I will not be back at home  and able to mount my scope for a few weeks from now so I tried to get a decent measurement with my ruler, from the lowest point in the ring to the bottom of the mount, level with the top of where the railwould be. It looks to be about 1 and 1/8 inches and 1 and 5/8 to the center. Sorry if these are off, I am limited to a flimsy ruler from a daily planner.

Thanks.  That pretty much confirms my rough measurement at the gun show.  I think I'm going to go with the Armalite mount--the RRA is higher than what I'm looking for.

I have rra mount on my rra ar-15 24" varmint upper it clear 6.5-20x50mm scope. 3/8 from bottom of scope to handguard (I have my handguard wrap with 550 cord also) 3-9x40 looks groofy on mount,
