Money wont be an issue, so which is the best way to mount an Aimpoint to my rifle with BUIS? It's a flattop 16" barrel with milled off front sight base.
1) Arms #38 (std., ext. or S-ext.?) w/ arms #22M68 for aimpoint 2) Arms #40 w/ arms #22M68 for aimpoint, and Oly arms FIRSH (for FAR forward mounting of aimpoint). 3) ....or your idea! This is for if I dont go for broke and get the TA11!  |

I don't know the ARMS model #'s, but what good is a BUIS without the front sight post? Just curious.

I've got the "#1" option you listed...Arms #38 std with the #22m68. I love it...Very sturdy set up. |

Is this an actual KAC cantilever or is it a Airsoft mount you are selling for this low price? If it is an actual KAC product, I will take it.
As far as mounting the Aimpoint, I would suggest the #22/M68 on the flatop with an spcaer. the #38 is nice but why add rail on top of rail?? it also adds weight to the gun. of cource unless you are going for the full length rail that bolts down into the handguard like the SPR setup, then that is a different story. My favorite set up would be a GG&G or KAC cantilever setup with ARMS #40. |

Troy, why not the extended #38 for mounting the sight out further?

The #38-EX, together with a #22M68, makes for a great, rock-solid setup, and does allow you to mount the optic further forward. If you're just using the AimPoint and BUIS, this is a great setup. However, it also adds a LOT of extra weight, and raises the height of the entire rail, making it impossible to use many other configurations without removing the rail. For example, you can't use a PVS-14 NV optic behind the AimPoint with the #38 in place.
Fortunately, there are several options, allowing people to choose a configuration that best meets their priorities. The hard part for many of us is figuring out what those are in the beginning, so that we don't end up "painting ourselves into a corner" with the gear we've selected. -Troy |
