    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    The place I ordered from has no restocking fee, I could just return the A194 (1.44", 20 MOA, 34mm, Extended) and get the A257 (1.44", 20 MOA, 34mm. non-cantilevered). Is it worth it to do so? The amount the A194 extends forward is slight but if it is completely unnecessary I would not be opposed...

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    @Dthomas3523, I already purchased a NF Unimount but I appreciate the input. I'm sure pictures of your Spuhr mount wouldn't hurt for people who reference this thread in the future

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    @wjm308, I understand what you are saying. Are there any agreed upon advantages/disadvantages to running cantilevered mounts vs standard?

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    I appreciate the information. I went with the cantilever because I didn't want to have the mount touch the rail on the forend of the rifle. Either way, besides my LT-104 it's my first "high end" mount for a variable power optic so I had to start somewhere. I'm looking forward to either enjoying...

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    For those who refer to this thread in the future: I went with a Nightforce Unimount (p/n A194): 1.44", 20 MOA, 34mm, Extended Unimount to mount an optic with a 50mm objective on a flat top AR-10. I will report if there are any issues.

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    Ya, I definitely want something canted right around 20 MOA. The aad mount is a tease!

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    Any more suggestions? I'm leaning towards the one piece extended mounts that push the optic forward a bit. I wish that aad mount was in stock, it looks like exactly what I want.

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    ADM's website says that the Delta is meant for AR-10s and the Recon is for AR-15s, is that the case? And @sakobob, not sure what you meant.

    I like that ADM Delta mount, but I don't think I need the QD capabilities and my understanding is you can usually shave some weight by ditching the QD system. If QD vs. Non-QD doesn't make much of a weight difference then I am open to a QD mount for this optic.

    Rifle Scopes AR-10 Optic Mounting: Rings vs. One Piece? Height?

    First of all, thank you for the responses to all my questions over the past week, this forum has really helped me out. I finally decided on an optic but now I need some advice on a mounting solution. I am looking to mount a T5xi 3-15 (34mm tube, 50mm objective) on an AR-10. Please let me know...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5xi vs. Burris XTR ii

    Putting an optic on an AR-10 in 308. I originally wanted to spend around $2k but have realized I can probably get more than I need for now in the $1k-$1.5k range. I have been looking at the the 3-15 and 5-25 models of both the T5xi and the XTR ii with the SCR reticles. I understand that Burris...

    Rifle Scopes Need advice on scope purchase for AR-10

    Thank you for the replies. I didn't even realize PA offered higher end high magnification glass. I'll have to read some reviews on that scope

    Rifle Scopes Need advice on scope purchase for AR-10

    I am looking to put glass on an AR-10. Mainly going to be used on targets from 100-800 yards. Initially I wanted a Gen 2 Razor 3-18 or 4.5-27 but I've seen alot of people complain about the weight and considering that is exactly how I feel about the Razor 1-6 I already have, I'm a bit Razor...
