I want the ability to swap an Aimpoint and a Zeiss 3-9 back and forth between my AR and my 10/22.  This necessitates the use of a riser on the AR15 receiver (fine.)  Here is what I'm currently doing (YHM 1/2" riser blocks + Warne "high" rings).  The Zeiss is correct on the AR, but a little high on the 10/22.  Also, the M2 in the QRP mount is too high on the 10/22:






I called Larue and they recommended their LT-101 riser (5/8) with the LT-661 T-1 mount (low).  I'm fine with swapping the M2 to a T-1 as I view that as an upgrade.  The only problem I have (besides spending all that money) is that the T-1 will be at Absolue Co-witness height on the AR.  I already have a T-1 in an LT-660 (lower 1/3) mount on another AR and I like that pretty well.  I'm not sure if I'll like the Absolute Co-witness height.

Thoughts?

Since youre already good to swap your zeiss, the cheapest solution is to buy a cheap (primary arms?) red dot to dedicate to the 10/22 instead of giving up on your current working AR setup.

Swapping optics, and having to zero each time?

Only between the two guns.  Just mark the turret for the zero on each (should only be an elevation change).

That really seems like a ton of work. Dedicated optics are the way to go. If you want to be able to scope your AR, then put your Aimpoint on a LaRue mount and get a second scope in a LaRue mount. Both will always stay zeroed to the AR, and you can keep the other scope on the 10/22 full time.
