Has anyone mounted a S&B5 on a Larue OBR ? If so what mount would clear the objective? Thanks for your help.

Not an obr but an sr25. You can use 1 inch rings with a 22moa badger rail or any 1.49 inch ring or uni mount is what you want. Larue also makes a mount for the obr to use the 5-25-56 scope. I prefer the first option i listed.

The SB 5-25 MIL have enogh travel to be mounted in the the 22moa riser, on the OBR that already is 20 moa.
But the SB 5-25 moa scope does not have enogh travel to do that.

I would anyway recomend you to use a 0 MOA mount for the OBR and you don't shoot at those distances where you need all the travel anyway so the 20 MOA built in to the gun is more the likely enogh.

Here is my solution.
Here on a HK 417 and with a Hensoldt 4-16x56 scope.
Makes those in both 0 and 20 MOA
Height is 1,45"

If you have your head very much forward you might need a cantilever mount, here it is on a AR 15.
But works equally well on OBR.
same here 0 and 20 moa.

Not a OBR but also a full rail flat top of the POF a set of 1" height rings and a Badger 22 MOA riser works just fine.

Seekins Precision is now making a higher set of rings at 1.45" height 34mm rings if you didn't want to mount it with any cant.

As far as I am avare of the OBR does already have 20 moa. So with the Seekings or any other rings the tilt will be 20 Moa. (wich is just perfect)

Didn't know that but it's good to have. A set of 1.45" height rings or mount then would work well.

Thanks for all the help gentlemen.

I run the Badger 306-75 USMC rings on my LMT and S&B 5-25, Ive got about 1/4" clearance from the bell to top of the rail.

Call Larue Tactical and they can answer all your questions. In regards to what type of mount and what height of clearance you will need.
 
Re: S&B 5-25x56 on Larue OBR 308

Can't hit what you can't see. I think people under scope rifles alot due to being told they don't need that much scope due to the basic 1x per 100 yards. That's fine for man sized targets but that doesn't work well if you are shooting at smaller than MOA size.

I can turn my 5-25x down to 9x if needed.

Absolutely agree! I run a NF 8-32x56 on my OBR and I love it.

My S&B 5-25x56 is due to arive tomorrow or Friday. Dont havre the rifle yet. The wait is killing me. Guess i can put it on my POF.
