In need of a higher mount

[sevensix2]

Here's the problem: I'm 6'6" and the world just wasn't designed for guys my size. I'm currently using a Vortex mount on my AR 308 rifle, but I find it hard to get a consistent view thru the scope because I'm having to bunch way down due to my proportionately long neck. I'm seriously thinking about getting this American Defense 1.93" mount, but it's pretty pricey not knowing the brand or quality to expect. If anyone has any experience with these, or has a suggestion for something the same height or even a little taller I'd love to hear. I'm using a Magpul PRS scope so cheek weld will not be an issue at all. Thanks in advance, fellas.

Looks about right. It doesn't say how high it is, though. Any idea? I'm sure with enough digging I can find more info.

I wouldn’t buy anything with vertical rings. They tend to squeeze scope tubes funny and bind erectors (this is from Frank/SH owner).

Here’s a few options:

30mm tube, 48mm/1.89” or 1.93” high​

Spuhr (1.89”)

• Also check Mile High for some discontinued Spuhr models

Badger Ordnance (1.93”)

34mm tube, 48mm/1.89” or 1.93” high​

Spuhr (1.89”)

• Also check Mile High for some discontinued Spuhr models

Badger Ordnance (1.93”)

Riser​

Bobro (double decker adds 5/8” or 16mm)
Bobro is pretty high quality, better than Leupold (had both)

Badger mounts are awesome. I’ve used LaRue and ADM, but the Badgers are way nicer.

Also, Nightforce makes some 1.93” high mounts in 30mm and 34mm tubes.

Pro tip when on Mile High’s website: to get the filtering to work I had to turn my phone on its side (landscape mode). I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and am using Safari.

Irritating. They should fire their web dev.

The riser adds half an inch.

I run one on my AR and love it.

Man, that stuff is a little out of range right now. Honestly, the 260 is more than I really want to spend, but it's just about necessary at this point.

That might be the way to go. Much appreciated.

Just checked MI. I've got a few things from them that work really well. Their high is 1.9. Haven't tried their rings, but their rails and ak mounts work great.

The thing is, you’ll have the scopes longer than the rifle, and the mounts longer than the scope. That’s what I tell myself anyway lol
