I’m getting a Bushnell Elite 4200 1.25x4x24mm and mounting it on an Armalite AR15 Flat top. I’ve been looking at 3 possible mounts and I need your expertise and experience in the matter. First im poor. And 350 for the scope was painful at best. Option 1. Just about every Person with a 1-4x scope on these forums has a Larue Extended Eye relief mount Larue Tac SPR-E (Cost:$215.00) Question: There are 2 other mounts available form Larue that aren’t the EER type and they are around $195, What is the Difference or better yet what is the advantage of having the Extended eye relief mount over the other ones. Also what is better for a 1-4X scope, to be hanging over the rear BUIS or in front of it? I won’t be taking the scope on and off, but at the same time maintaining zero is important, so I do understand that the Larue is supposed to be the best for that. Option 2. I was looking at the A.R.M.S.® #22™ Throw Lever® Rings (High) 30MM, Arms mounts (Cost:$119.00) Question: could I get away with attaching 2 of these babies to the scope and calling it good? And would the fact that these are the (HIGH) version mean that I wont need a riser to fit the scope over the BUIS? Also would the quick release help the ability to maintain a zero? Option 3. My Armalite came with a one piece scope mount, It is a 1 inch and ill need to trade it in for a 30MM, I will also need to get a YHM half inch riser because it’s a low mount,, and wont go over my BUIS with out it. Armalite mount Scope Riser (Cost: 30.00) Question: This is the cheapest way I can figure out how to mount this. It has no quick releases, therefore the return to Zero will be compromised if I take it off. Is this option not really an option? I am poor yes, but I still like quality if I can get it. Your help it appreciated |
