Most call it a cantilever style mount. I know larue makes some real nice ones that will extend out nicely but I am not dropped that much cash on a scope mount. Also looking for a permanent mount not a QD setup. Who makes a mount like this larue for a better price and without QD http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=28 I know HYM makes a few but they look to raise the height to much. |

A canteliever mount is one that drops off a cary handle to forearm level. There are a coupke lower dollar ones that have built in scope rings. I have a model one that I like. I heare Armalite makes one too. www.model1sales.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=SMR001&storeid=1&image=mountring.gif&CFID=15037667&CFTOKEN=11840304 |

A lot depends on how far you want it to extend, and whether you'll want to put a BUIS behind it. Most of them are 1/2" risers, which will put most scopes at a good height with medium rings or high rings, depending on your preference. ARMS, GG&G, YHM, and RRA make solid extension rails, but it can be tricky to find one that you can mount a BUIS behind. The ARMS 38 EX or SEX have the ARMS 40 BUIS built in. Here's a pic of the RRA scout rail, which I like a lot because it's solid and long (I need a lot of eye relief). There's no room behind it for a BUIS, though, and it's got semi-quick disconnect thumbscrews that protrude a bit.  Here's the GG&G scout rail, which is lower, and has room behind it for a BUIS if it'll fit in the last slot and clear the rail. My ARMS 40 mount won't fit behind it, but it would if I took off just a little metal.  |
Hey, thanks for the reply, and info. I've NEVER seen anything like that. Glad you now have more choices, but it's a real shame you have to put up with all the firearms BS that is imposed on you. ETA: what size rings do you have to use on the RRA rail to get the scope to the proper height? I'm considering getting that rail. |

Yeah, things are definitely better here, thanks to a dedicated group of WECSOGs over at calguns.net. Not up to Free America standards yet, but every little bit helps. Those are Warne Maxima QD medium rings I have on that scope, and are about 0.5" high. This gives 1" total with the 1/2" rail, and works well for me. I'm not sure what height you need to give an absolute co-witness - I have it here somewhere, but can't find it just now... |
