LPVO world

[Canoemuzzies]

I'm some what new to the LPVO gang. Ive ran aimpoints on my ars since I got in to shooting rifles. Any suggestions on mounts and placement of the optic? I have a vortex viper pst gen 2 and im looking to put it on a 13.7 vltor rifle. Thanks in advance!

Geissele and Badger seem to be very popular right now. I own the geissele - its a fine mount.

 

[Moose]

I have owned the Geissele and it is a very nice mount.

 

[NateSavannah]

scalarworks leap mount is where its at.

 

[Downtown]

I use a Giessele, but I hadn't seen that Scalarworks mount before. Nice mount.

I had one for a while. its an awesome mount. lpvo just werent for me. more of a eotech magnifier kind of guy on my cq rifles.

I've been looking into the scalarworks mounts. They seems solid. Just couldn't find many reviews on them

 

[Canoemuzzies]

And it seemed geissele is the gold standard

Badger C1

I have an ADM recon and I like it. Buddy just picked up a larue and honestly I find it a little weird.

I found a few good reviews on youtube.

What did you find weird about them?

One of the QD levers is non-locking. I'm sure they know what they are doing as it's a popular mount, but to me it wouldn't be that difficult to make them both lock up, even if it is just a peace of mind thing. I really like the locking mechanism on the one that locks.

The Burris P.E.P.R. mount is inexpensive compared to those mentioned above and the QD version has never failed me and returns to near zero [1 - 1 1/2 inches] every time. If you don't need QD it is even more secure and cheaper. I find the large rail locking nuts on the non QD cosmetically unappealing and a possible knuckle buster.

PS: Corrected Bushnell to Burris thanks Desert Raven

Ill keep that in mind!

Do yall run offset sights or offset red dots?

That sucks! Thanks for the info!

Depends on your purpose for the rifle. I use mine for coyotes and have a 3-9 scope on a Burris P.E.P.R. mount (very solid for 4 years now) and a 45-degree offset red dot in case one comes in really close and surprises me (happens fairly often). I also agree with what DannC said above. YMMV

I'm looking to make this a "do most" rifle. I want to be able to shoot 5yrds to 400 with the same set up

I had a bobro QD mount that worked great. Didn't really end up needing the QD part though.

New mount is a badger C1. I got the high (1.93") version. Scope height is a factor I never really considered until I started messing around with different setups. I think lower 1/3 (which is 1.7" I think) height is still the best all-around for AR15 platforms, but I personally really like the higher mounts. The bobro is lower (1.5"-ish) and it took a little practice to get used to for me personally, having mainly shot with lower 1/3rd height red dots before going to LPVOs.

For all-around type guns, I run LPVO and offset red dot. No LPVO I've looked through is as fast as a red dot at 1x. Having the best of both worlds is worth the extra weight in my mind. I used my holosun on a DD 1o'clock offset pic rail for a while, but there are lighter and better solutions.

Thanks for that! I've been digging the badger mounts and considering the 1.93 height. Ill probably got badger or geissele because.. why not

Has anybody here tried the tango 6 1-6 or the geiselle lpvo and actually used them?

Does taking pictures and posting to Instagram count as use?
