Welcome to the site.
I really like the Troy flip-up rear BUIS. For that matter I love their flip-up front sight, but I believe they only make a model that will attach to a rail, not a gas block (i.e. there is a height difference between the two types of front sights). Not sure what sights are available for gas block mounting, so I won't comment. I've never seen "see through" scope mounts for an AR-15 rifle. To use a proper cheek weld, you need a mount that will place the scope at the proper height (which is, IIRC, 2.5" over the bore). The best mount out there is the LaRue SPR. It not only places the scope at the appropriate height, but it places the scope far enough forward to get correct eye relief for most high-powered scopes. It also has the best, IMHO, quick release system available. Absolutely will return to zero. It has two throw-levers that are adjustable. No worries about levers becoming loose over time. Talk to Grant at G&R Tactical. He can hook you up with any LaRue gear. Tell him I sent ya.  I don't have any pictures to upload right now, but maybe I'll remember later.

BTW, what kind of upper do you have? I assume (based on your name) a RRA Varminter? I have one too. It's a tack driver.

No such thing as see through scope rings for your application. Are you wanting a detatchable fixed front or folding front?

Go with a flip-up front BUIS, as when using the scope at a higher magnification, you will not have any ghosting that occurs with a static front sight. GG&G makes a great one, but a bit pricey, so I who suggest a Yankee Hill.
As for a rear BUIS, one determining factor is the size of the rear objective of the scope. Smaller the profile of the BUIS the better obviously. Knights 300M and 600M will do fine as well as the ARMS #40-L and Troy. Eye relief of the optic is another concern, so a mounting platform is of upmost importance. Generally, Leupolds have very forgiving eye-releif so the scope will need to be mounted further forward than what the flattop can accommodate. A cantilever design mounting solution would be your best bet. Options are the LaRue or ARMS #35. I would stay away from Armalite's unit as it weight entirely too much, but it is a stout piece of gear. Lots of info avaialble, but typing with one hand has slowed me down . |

Kinda hard to see the mount and I can't make out the rear BUIS, but that looks like a LaRue SPR mount, LaRue 13.2 rail and a Troy flip-up front sight. I assume the LaRue gas block under the rail.
Do I get a cookie?  For bonus points, do you have a Second Gen Badger Tac Latch on the CH? |

I've got a 16" gun I built with an Accuoint 1.25x4 in a LaRue EER mount. I have a Yankee Hill lightweight forend on there...with the little pop up sight that goes on the tube, and a 40L *right* benind the scope. It's a very tight fit...the front sight barely clears the front of the scope on the way up, and the rear buis is right up close to the back of the scope. I prefer a flip up front sight for use with low power scopes.
I have a similar setup on another rifle, but I'm using a YHM flip up sight/gas block for that one. The LaRue EER mount makes it easier to us a rear BUIS, since it moves the scope forward enough to accomodate one. I don't know about the SPR mount, though...a 40L is probably too long to use with that. |
