They were originally conceived to allow people to put scopes on the AR15 without having to have extremely tall rings when compared to most rifles. (straight line recoil design vs standard rifle stock) mandates a much higher ring with conventional flat) |

ring height is a piece of cake with an AR - eye relief is another story. Raised AR uppers are worthless for getting the necessary eye relief.

I second the eye relief comment... I bought both a RRA one piece mount and a Wilson Combat 1 piece to use on my flat top (not EOP) only to find that I coudn't get adequate eye relief with either.
So I then ordered a RRA Scout Rail. Now I had the eye relief using the one piece mounts but the optic was way too high. Then I got Burris low rings to replace the one piece mounts. So now with the Scout Rail and low rings I have the eye relief I need and the optic elevation is just perfect IMO. The problem with the Elevated Platform is a Scout type rail will add about 5/8" additional height, if used, and then even low rings will put the optic way too high. |
