Rifle Scopes larue lt158 with vortex pst 4-16x50 ffp with caps

[elfster1234]

just purchased a vortex pst 4-16x50 ffp scope and now need to purchase a mount. I'm mounting onto a lr-308 ar platform with free float tube handguard. would like to keep my rear gen2 magpul buis on with a QD mount.

question that i have is will a larue lt158 mount be high enough to clear the mounting rail for the 50mm ojective scope with caps and the rear buis? or should i stick with the larue qd lr104 mount that is a tad bit taller? anyone here use a larue lt158 qd mount with a 50mm objective scope with butler creek caps? would like to use the lt158 mount that has 10moa cant due to my ar's 308 cal and further shots. any help would be great.

Here is a pic of the LT158 and a NF 2.5-10x32 on my AR. The eye piece does clear the BUIS, not sure about the 50mm objective. I did some measuring and I'm 90% sure that the 50mm objective will clear. Just don't yell at me if I'm wrong.

bribri,


thanks for the pics! i actually found it really helpful to google "larue LT158 vortex pst 4-16", and then click on the images button (rather than searching everything),,, look thru all the pictures till i found something that looked like a 50mm ojbective, and then click on the picture to visit the website to verify. I was able to find maybe 4 websites with a picture of a 50mm objective & buis with the lt158 mount so I think i'm golden / answered my own question already.


I do thank you for the pic. Nice looking rifle my friend!


Already got the Larue LT158 on order yesterday.

It's a great mount, repeatable return to zero. Can't ask for much more...
