What mount for AR 15?

Lower 1/3 works the best for me. It keeps my head up better and less sight clutter.
I use a Larue Tactical LT129 cantilever with my Aimpoint ML3.

What optic is that, looks aimpointish?

I am with Zero on this one. I have a similar setup although I don't use the Cantilever on mine. a lower 1/3 is the only way to go. You can still easily use your BUIS, but they are more out of the way.

Oh and you know the M3 has a 2MOA version?

It's a 30mm tube body, so any 30mm picatinny scope ring or aimpoint mount will work. Larue makes some mighty fine products.

That looks smaller than an Aimpoint. I think the AP is 30mm, I'm not familiiar with that scope.



I have the 2Moa dot on my ML3. But my next AP ML3 will be the 4moa. I want to try that larger dot on my P90. I'll bet that the bigger dot looks better as you shrink it on lower settings. My ML3 2moa dot goes from star blur blob to weird jellybean. Never really been a "dot".

All the major mount manufactures charge the same general amount. 120-140 is about the norm.

I mount all my AR scopes on a B Square quick detach base. Very reliable and returns to zero all the time. Well made for a good price and gets me a little height on my scopes to clear BUIS. This way I can switch out glass in a few seconds and go from a 1-4 x 28 to my longer range scopes. I use the Tac-0008 and you can generally find it on the net for <$50.

I am looking into the Larue mounts now and can anyone answer this with some detail: Why are their mounts so damn expensive? I understand that quality comes at a cost, but what is in their products that justifies their asking prices?

The price for Larue products is on par with other manufacturers of like quality. When you buy a Larue product, you know you are getting incredible quality products from a manufacturer that will stand behind what they build. Their warranty is written in plain english and can be summed up as "if you ain't happy, we ain't happy". They're great folks to do business with.

Get a Larue product in your hand with a lower-cost alternative for comparison, and you'll understand the difference in price.

Damian -- I will send you a picture of what I did for my AR's Red Dot to Co-witness in the lower 1/3. It works well and my accuracy at 100 yards is phenomenal.

Larue - Yes!
ARMS - NO!

there ya go
