Hey there everyone I am a frequent reader here but not a frequent poster. A while back I decided I wanted to get into bolt guns and traded a Trijicon TA31/rmr combo for a US Optics MR-10. These are their older models with the large EREK knob but the glass quality is really nice and even in my limited experience I have found the scope to be of very high quality. It sat in some night force low rings atop my Remington 700 until I had the (possibly misguided) itch to jump up in magnification. I scooped up a Sig Tango 6 4-24 on sale, and so was left with a nice optic without a home. I decided to throw it on my BCM carbine, and after some searching for a cantilever mount that would accommodate the EREK knob I went with BOBRO. That is the end of my long winded contextualization. My questions are:
1) Is it a no-no to have the very front edge of the BOBRO mounting surface interface with the hand guard? I understand this is typically not ideal, but I haven't noticed any POI shift. Still, it does enter my mind every time I mount it on the rifle so I would appreciate any advice on the matter. I included a picture to show the amount of crossover of the mount from the upper receiver onto the hand guard. The carbine is rattle-can camouflaged so you may have to squint in order to find it.
2) I have read about some people having problems with heavier optics in BOBRO mounts, so while I haven't noticed anything moving, if anyone has valuable input regarding a similar setup to my own I would greatly appreciate it as well.
I also included a pic of my 700 and the tango 6 in its case for fun
Thanks - Dan
edit - Moving it back one notch on the top rail would constitute an unacceptable amount eye relief, it's just barely good where it is.
Also this post is really more about the gear than the optics so I apologize if this is not in the appropriate forum thread.
