Rifle Scopes Please help with 30mm ar10 scope mount

[KYpatriot]

I will need to mount a Bushnell 3x12-44 on a 308 DPMS SASS, with the PRS stock.
I think I will need a 20 moa mount to increase the available elevation for this scope.

This setup is completely new to me so my questions are:

Anyone mount a 44mm objective on an ar10 with a prs, what worked for you? I havent used a PRS so will the cheek rise adjustment on that stock drive me to different options?

Will I need a cantilever type mount to get the scope more forward? I wouldn't think that would be necessary with a 308 receiver and the PRS...right?

So what have yall used/recommend for a 20 moa mount for the ar-10 w/ PRS? I dont really need QD, but wouldn't mind it either.

The adjustable cheek piece gives you the flexibility to use whatever optic and mount you want. Not cause you use something you don't want.
With a 44m objective, you may want to consider a lower mount to keep your scope as close to the bore as you comfortably can. This will eliminate the need to raise the cheek piece on the PRS, but there is a compromise you'll need to make. You can only get your scope so low before you're tipping your head sideways to try looking through it.

I personally don't see any reason to mount the scope that far forward when you're using a rifle length stock, but it will come down to your personal preference. I've seen guys do it, but not this guy.
If you like to ride right up and touch your nose to the charge handle, then you'll need one.

The only two that I've got experience with is the Nightforce one piece, and I wasn't mine.
The AADMOUNT is what I chose and I'll likely be getting another if I do another build that requires a 20MOA cant

Ok, thanks. I'll check out the AAdmount and the Nightforce. Looked for the GAP/Badger mount on the website, guess you have to call them cause I couldnt find anything about it on the site.

Anyone using one of these with a 44mm objective? Trying to get an idea on scope height and clearance I could expect. The AAdmount looks to high to me.
