HELP ME! Pick a Mount

[Vaultman]

I am looking for a one piece Scope mount. It has to meet this criteria:
1. Install on a rail (AR10)
2. 34 mm DIA. (Nightforce ATACR)
3. 1.5" height
4. 20 MOA
5. Cantilever
6. In the $200 - $300 range.

The only ones I am finding are:
A. LaRue QD LT745. I like this one for two reasons, (1) the quick detach, and (2) that it appears if I wanted to use a different DIA scope I could just get the different rings. What I don't like is that I do not think I will be able to see my elevation dial very well, because of where the rings connect on top.

B. Badger Ordnance 20MOA UltraHigh: These seem to address the problem that I think I will have with the LaRue, but they do not have a quick detach.

What else might be out there, that I am missing? Or are my concerns with the LaRue and not being able to see my elevation dial off base?

ADM Recon

I have had a few LaRue mounts in the past but have been transitioning to American Defense. All the same features you like in the LaRue and a better QD system (IMHO).

Bobro.
Awesome mounts that won't chew your rail up.
ADM are also nice.

 

[Vaultman]

Thanks guys.
Bobro... looks good but I only see 30mm & 35mm. So no dice there for this set up, but I will bookmark them if I need another 30mm, or every get a 35 mm.
American Defence: WOW they have some good options. I will defiantly look at those.

 

[Vaultman]

Anyone know about the JP Enterprises mount/rings? Any luck with them?

 

[erslll]

The other mount that I will be trying out in the near future is the Seekins MXM. Not QD or interchangeable rings but Seekins makes good stuff and I really don't use QD very often. Not quite up to Spuhr beefiness but still plenty beefy and much more affordable.

Although they are mostly more expensive than what you wanted to spend, check out Sphur. They are rock solid and the way the rings are set up, you shouldn't have trouble seeing your turrets. They have a bunch of tube sizes, heights and cants.

 

[Vaultman]

I've definitely seen the spuhr mounts, and have heard their reputation. I just can't see spending $400+ when I am confident that I can find other solutions that will be sturdy also.
I see the MXM too. That looks like it could be a pretty good option.
I really like the looks of the Badger Ordnance.
I think I may stay clear of any QD ones.

 

[Vaultman]

Heading to the store to put some hands on an American Defense set. I'll let y'all know what way I go.

 

[Vaultman]

I went with the American Defense. Even though it is QD, it sure holds rock solid. It will get a range report soon!

Man, I need to get out more. I am having a internet thread with myself at this point.

Damn it I was going to post something similar but I didn't want complaints about me being unfit to be a mod.

I would never work for a place that'd have me...

I don't think you will be disappointed. I think I have 3 or 4 of them now and have had zero problems or complaints.

everything i use has a warne base or rings

 

[BlindedByScience]

Lots of good suggestions but those Badger Ordinance rings are solid.

I tried to get my hands on some locally but couldn't. In my recent effort to support local businesses, I went with something I could get here. Maybe Badger Ordnance will be my next set.

Oh.... and @Stomper I don't think that set you posted is local. She defiantly looks like she is an out-of-towner.

Vortex makes 34mm ring/base complete with 20MOA slant and an offset distance between the two rings sufficient to ensure that when mounted only to the receiver rail, the eyepiece can be positioned over a very wide distance.
