Rifle Scopes Nightforce Optic Purchase/Unimount

[Lockdown1243]

I recently purchased a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 Optic and decided to go with the Nightforce Unimount with a 1.375 height. I know that Nightforce makes high quality stuff, but I was wondering if anyone on here has any input on how well the unimount has worked for you and I also wanted to be sure my ring height is appropriate for an AR platform gun. I am putting this set up on a LMT MWSE .308. Thanks!

I have the Unimount that I've used with a couple scopes on my MK12 at home. With the 50mm obj it is the lowest with that mount you're going to be able to go if you have a continuous top rail. Height is good but will depend on your face and cheek weld preference/style. It's a great mount and is very high quality.

I like to rest my head on the rifle when shooting prone slow fire precision so it feels a little high to me, but I also have very high cheek bones working against me. Once I go into alternate position shooting I don't notice it.

Thank you for the reply, and more importantly thank you for your service to our great country so I can own guns like this

I have a 50mm Nightforce on my LAR-8 and went with the 1.375" Unimount. It offers just enough clearance for the objective bell and the scope hasn't fallen off yet, so it seems like the right choice.

you can go with a 1.125 unimount with that rifle. i've mounted up a few lmt mws rifles using this system, it works pretty well
