What height are you running on ARs
- Thread starter deersniper

I’ve run several different mounts and for me the Burris pepr at 1.6” is perfect for an optic. I think most AR mounts are similar height
1.54. I ran 1.93 for awhile and liked it most of the time. 1.7 may be worth a try.
For accuracy/shooting groups, 1.4ish
For a walkabout/GP rifle, 1.5 or maybe a little higher,

SPR: 1.54”, 20MOA
Recce: 1.93”, 0MOA
Perhaps a 1.7” would be a good do-all height, but I’m really enjoying these two heights for their respective purposes.

Highly advise you get the 1.54" Badger C1 Mount. Fantastic mount and works great with LPVOs. Only downside is, no 36mm for your ZCO 4-20.
Whatever is needed to get the day optic on plane with the clip on 
I have a Seekins MXM mount 1.45" and a Bobro Standard mount 1.42" and both work great for me.
Spuhr 4026 1.26" height with carbine stock for Recon.
Spuhr 4016 1.5" height with PRS stock for SPR.

Lol but my Utc is 1.3”and my LWTS is 1.5”
And badger was smoking craxk when they priced their Raptar rail.
As far as ZCO I’m sticking with the budget and weight friendly nx8 2.5-20
I run a UTCxii and other 1.5" i2 without issue on a 1.5-1.65" optics. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones.
For about the last two years I've been mounting my scopes on my AR's higher and higher. I'm at 2" right now on a msr10. Finding higher mounts is difficult and am using 1/2" base extensions. I know kinda Bubba but just experimenting at this point.
On a side note, the mirage for a heated up barrel seems to be a lot less.

I just switched everything to 1.7 and couldn’t be enjoying it more
I have a LPVO with a ADM recon 1.54
My Recce build is a mark 5 3.6-18 with a Spuhr 5006 1.18 sitting on a .5 riser. I wanted this glass / mount to use on a bolt gun.
Unless you have a small noggin like me, than 1.93" works better lol
