I just ordered this scope and a LaRue SPR mount for it. I suspect that I might have to put my ARMS #40 BUIS up for sale in the EE and pick up a Troy.
This photo and and quote were made buy a guy on snipershide.com (link).  "[...]Also I returned my QRW rings to leupold for stripped screws and they came back a few hundredths of an inch lower than the set I sent. Lost the ability to clear the ARMS 40 rear sight." Since I'm not sure the LaRue is as tall as his riser/ring combo to begin with, I'm thinking the lower BUIS will be in order. In anycase, I'd just like to see what other configurations ya'll have with this scope. |

Thanks for the nice looking pics guys. Glad to see your scope is still ticking sobr (and that your squib'd barrel got resolved).
From the pics it definately looks like the #40 will be showing up in the EE very soon. Oh well, guess I was a bit shortsighted (like when I bought a carry handle instead of a BUIS in the first place!). Live and learn! |

hey, that's part of the fun...and you'll get most of your money back on the BUIS, so it's not too expensive a lesson. |

And to think I dropped my ARF.com one day not even looking for a poodle shooter, and then I had to build a kit carbine from M1S too save money, and then, and then, and then I shot HP Service Rifle, and then, and then............. I'd hate to calc up what I've spent just on the different incarnations of AR's that just one "money saving" carbine became!!

In the very first picture the scope is mounted with a standard front sight, is this going to effect sight picture?
I am looking to scope my AR in the same fashion, should I replace the Front sight with a weaver gas block? any thoughts? |

no it will not, usually with 4x and up you will not notice the front sight in the picture |

Again using the first picture
I have the same setup -ARMS BUIS, Houge free float hand guard, Standard front sight ect.. If i put on a swan extension rail with medium or high set of ARMS throw lever rings will this get the super sniper above the ARMS BUIS?? |

do they make a 14 inch extend rail without the sight built in to it?
did you like the set-up and the 10x fixed scope?? do you like the super sniper? |

Question - why the need for a preinstalled BUIS on a sniper type of setup?
If you are sniping - you are at a longer distance, under cover. You've got time to pull a BUIS or carryhandle out of your gear if needed. I'd rather enjoy the benefits of mounting my optics closer to the bore than hiking the scope up high enough to clear a BUIS. |

well my answer for me is:
I have a red dot on it now with a G.I. front sight. (this keeps me from lowering to much).I am removing the red dot and scoping it. I am buying the super sniper because it will go really good on my m1a and I will try it also on my AR I would just prefer to keep the BUIS on the gun and sighted so I am going to lift the super sniper up above the BUIS just my druthers |

Creeper1313 could you give me the distance you have right now from the middle of the scope tube to the base of the flat top rifle
guessing 1.4 inches or so? and how much more you would need to get the arms 40 to fit |

The SPR mount puts the middle of the tube 1.5" above the rail. I think you'd have to go up to close to 2" for the SS to clear an arms #40 (see the pic in the first post). The highest part of the ARMS is about 1" above the rail. There is about 9/16" of clearance below the rear lens cover of my scope in the SPR.... hence about .5" higher is needed to clear the #40.
IMO, 2" would be a bit high for my tastes. Also, the one piece SPR lets me quickly swap the SS with my EOtech (also on a LaRue mount). A riser on thumbscrews or two super high rings wouldn't do this nearly as well. Of course, if it's a dedicated varmint gun this isn't an issue... but I wanted a dual purpose AR. In the grand scheme of things, a BUIS is not a core component of a rifle...i.e. unlike an upper, it is easy to swap. I wouldn't marry yourself to your BUIS or let it dictate the rifle you really want. The EE will let you get most of your money back on your #40, which you can put towards a #40L or Troy that will fit under a lower scope. That's what I plan to do. |

Real good points.
thanks for your input! I am still thinking of going the two inches, is there a huge error caused by this at ranges? I am still amazed that as low as your rifle sits, the scope does not show the front sight at all great pic of the scope view. |

 Just for comparison, here's the rifle's other form with the EOtech. It can go from the SS to the EO in about 5 seconds. As for the accuracy of a 2" mount, I can't comment on it personally, but I'm sure they could be dialed in. I just prefer the lower cheekweld. |

I really like this scope but I am wondering if for my purposes if this is overkill.
I am mostly going to be doing 100-150 yard shots. Woudl this be too much scope? |

I use a Burris 3x9 on my AR and most of the time have it turned up to 6x. The main use for the rifle is varmit extermination (coyotes & armadillos) on the family farm. It's nice to be able to verify your target in the late eveing in tall grass. If you start getting closer than 100 yards with that SuperSniper you're going to harder time finding your target. |

Who paid that $10 and sent in their warrenty info on the SS.......is it worth it or will SWFA replace it if something internally messes up on it.

I get about 1.5" at 100 yards. However, that's just using my magazine as a monopod as I don't have a gun vise... also, I'm still a novice shooter, so I'm pretty sure that's more my shaking than the rifle. I suppose I should try to grab a bunch of sandbags for my next range trip... I'd guess I could invest the $100 in a gun vise... but I'd be afraid I wouldn't use it more than once or twice.

On my AR10s, I prefer the ArmaLite one piece scope mount. It is available in 30mm and 1 inch. It will work on any AR that has a picatinny rail. |

Havent check ARFCOM in awhile and saw this thread resurfaced :). That rail is for a SAMCO mount for a Surfire G2. Nice el cheapo light solution. You might be able to get away with mounting a Bipod on it, but I'd be afraid it'd be too flimsy on the plastic handguards. |
