CTR build - 20 MOA cantilever vs. replacing rail

[mnhoj]

Building my first rifle.
Have decided on a CTR with Bravo or X-Ray.
Wondering if a 20 MOA cantilever scope mount would work well instead of replacing the rail?
Can't wait to get it all together.

If it’s cantilevered like for an ar then it’ll work, it’ll just be awkward. Most cantilevers push the scope too far forward to actually be comfortable.

Thanks for the response.
Appreciate it.

I think mounts are dumb. Rings for me.
Calculate if you need the extra elevation- you might not. Factory rail.is on there pretty good which is a good thing

Run a nightforce ultralite unimount, available in 0 or 20moa. They're ironically as light(or lighter) as most ring combos.

You can do it.

It is a better option to just swap the rail though.

Thank you all.
