Recommend a mounting system for me

[JMcQ]

The choices these days are overwhelming. Here’s the details
I just got one of the Meopta Optika 6 3-18x15 ( 30mm tube ) scopes delivered today. I am going to throw it on a precision/dmr AR15 that’s a CLE chambered .223 . I was leaning towards a ADM cantilever QR at $199 . I have one that’s at least 8 years old that’s been great so it’s familiar.
In that price range what else should I be looking at. I like the QR option since I like to swap things around, but a fixed isn’t a deal breaker.
Used is fine if a deal in the Px pops up.

I have ARC rings on my bolt rifles but the (edit M not H)brace they make doesn’t have a cantilever option. $200 is my sweet spot for this build.

...Griffin Armament, especially if you might want to add offset red dot...

ARCs new M-brace mount has places you can add on to. It's $279 but buy once cry once.

I found a used like new Spuhr SP-3616 for $300 so I grabbed it.
Merry Christmas

Nothing like quality responses which:

1) Ignore the budget range
2) Ignore the mount he eliminates (M-Brace not H-Brace) and recommend it anyway.

Waiting patiently for the Near Alphamount recommendation...

I would hey a bobro mount. They are excellent and close to buyer price range. You can find them on here used for less than your budget sometimes. They just work, and are great for being able to move an optic around.

I would be wary of getting used Bobro mounts. Some of the older models had an issue where the self-adjusting lug screws would sheer off.
It looks like Bobro will take care of it, but why risk having to go through it by going the used route?

It’s ok I just wanted to consider some options. This site is still way better than others for analytical vs emotional recommendations. The used Spuhr is a 20moa and would have been a top choice I just didn’t want to pay $450 for a new one. At $300 used with built in level vs some of the $200 options with no level it works for me.

As a side note I hope ARC makes a cantilever version of the M brace eventually.

I've never had any issue and it looks like that was 5 or more years ago but I've seen every mount or ring out there break, including spuhr. Ive had very good success with every bobro I've had and used, but there are lots of very good options. All of the higher end main mounts are pretty good I think. Everyone has their own favorite, but good to know that Bobro will replace em with no trouble if need be.

Burris PEPR, Seekins MXM, Warne MSR mounts, they should all be <$200.

I talked to Ted about a (more) cantilevered mount for ARs a couple weeks ago.

He sees it as a viable market, given what people will pay for a quality mount, or overpay for looks and bad engineering. However he currently has his hands full with everything he is producing and planning (further M-Brace accessories).

I have had a few Warn mounts and they did very well. I haven't had any QR type mount but the regular cantilevered mounts were really solid and you can usually find em on dvor.com for a really good price.

Yup, they are definitely good. They can also be found on drop shipper websites for under $100.

EGW makes a rail riser, similar to what Badger made and Compass Lake uses on their uppers. I have a 20 MOA one and just use rings on it. Once I add a bolt rig, I can just switch optic as needed. Just an option, some may not like that additional 0.6" height.
