Rifle Scopes AR-50 owners.... Ring question.

[JRose]

I tried to mount my Falcon Menace scope on my AR-50 and noticed a problem... With the cheek rest all the way down, it still had my head too high for the scope using Badger Max50 (standard) rings...

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I know the easy fix is just put taller rings on it, but the scope is already perched up pretty high above the barrel, and I really don't want it much higher.

It has the Armalite 15moa base. I'll get pics up tomorrow.

Maybe try putting it in the optics forum? How's the rifle shoot? They look like nice rifles...

I think your only solution is hgher rings.

I have the same gun with a Leupold 8.5x20x50mm scope and have no problems.

Well, I just got it, so I haven't shot it yet. I'm thinking about milling out the cheek rest to go down more, I just have to see how far I can go down and still clear the bolt.

OR.... It wouldn't be so bad to just put a NF Unimount on it so I can get a little more cant seeing as it only has a 15 MOA rail on it. That's just gonna have the scope sitting high.

There goes your M1 money Jason

Given that the first two letters of the model # are "AR", I suspect you'll solve the issue the same way you would on an AR. AR-specific taller rings or some risers between the rifle and your current rings.

The solution is not difficult, I just hate to perch the scope up so high... I'm looking for a way around that.

M1 money is coming back... Daddy got a good tax return...

I just bought this before the New World Order told me I couldn't...

I have my Nightforce 8-32x5x mounted into Nightforce rings, on the 15moa rail. I shoot it with the cheek rest all the way down.
