So I am looking for a little feedback from you willing participants.  Trying to find a mounting system for a Vortex Strike Eagle that I am putting on my AR.  This is my first AR and there is a lot of good mounting systems that I've seen/read about and probably a lot more that I am not even aware exist.  Vortex has one that's gotten good reviews for $30 but I also know that you get what you pay for.  I don't necessarily have to have the best one on the market, but I don't mind paying for quality items.  As of right now, I don't see myself moving this scope to any of my other rifles so the AR would be it's permanent home.  Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I always liked the ADM Recon and Scout, but if you're looking for a mount without the qd option, check out Geissele

I like the YHM Extended 6" riser and Vortex Viper low rings myself.  It is the perfect height for cheek weld.  Works great as long as you don't have a fixed FSB.

if you don't plan on moving the scope (or removing the scope) go with aero precision's mount. excellent quality for a fair price and very lightweight and ships free.

pick one you like here: http://www.graniteridgeoutfitters.com/Sights-Optics-Mounts_c22.htm

OP talks about a mount that he's thinking of for $30 and you go ahead a recommendation a mount that's $350.



I know OP said he'd be willing to pay more but you took him right to the top.

Lol, I know. Thought about that, but I'm all about the quality over quantity/pay more for quality mindset, so figured I'd give my .02. I guess if I was going to stick to the budget friendly options, I'd go for the Aero

Either the Aero Precision or the Leupold Mark 2 IMS would work fine.  Both are solidly made one piece AR specific fixed mounts with good reputations at under $100.

The Warne one piece bases look nice for around $100.
