Re: High or Extra High rings?
You want to be in the 1.4" range for proper scope height on a standard flattop, which would be extra high from most mfrs. I prefer a one piece base which allows you to mount the optic further forward on the AR, it is difficult to get the scope forward enough for proper eye relief with standard rings.

Its a 3x9x40 and i am looking for a used LaRue or something in a one piece to make up the difference!

Re: High or Extra High rings?
If your looking at a Larue one piece mount your probably only gonna get one choice as far as height goes . 1.4-1.5 inches in height works fairly well for stand up shooting but if your gonna be shooting mostly prone you may want a lower setup .

I just picked up a Bobro 30mm mount. It's a QD style and seems to be very well made. It definitely locks up solidly.
