I guess, why spend money on a free float with a rail that supposedly mates the upper and rail to be sturdy together. I get that there is a benefit of a uni-mount but I feel like my Reece should try to be as light as possible and will there really be that much torsion between the the two that it would mess with my zero?

When chasing accuracy, you want to eliminate all factors that could hinder performance. The rail is more for floating the barrel and keeping it cool to the touch under heavy/suppressed shooting. Your build looks great, do with it what you please! |

because a rail does not and can not "mate" to the upper. a rail is for a bipod and accessories. free float style is for accuracy. i have yet to have a rail match an upper perfectly.
besdes.....the only people usi g regular rings on an ar are mk12 people and thats because its period correct. so many advances have been made so you can get a much better cheeck weld and a farther forward scope position with cantilever mounts. right now your logic is fighting facts. if you want unitized you wil need a monolithic upper like an LMT or new colt style. |

Some might say it's more for SPR's but... whatever.Thanks! I really wanted to build a rifle gas 16in with higher magnification. It almost all started around the new Sierra Tipped 77gr. The higher BC means you need less velocity to achieve peak performance, so the extra 2in of barrel is overkill so Its a mini SPR or a SPRECCE! My original plan was to find a NF 2.5-10x24 Mil/Mil with ZS but that trail has run ice cold and the ones that do pop up are more expensive than my old Elcan! I am really digging this scope. Glass is clear, the turrets are solid, and most importantly the adjustments are true. I highly recommend it! After a few hundred more rounds i will probably do a write up on the barrel in the Rainier Industry forum. |

I don't know if it's the rail or what but now I'm all confused. Are you saying that's a rifle system with an 18" barrel on there? I assumed it was a 16" mid.
I'd be worried about dwell time with a 16" rifle and not enough pressure. At least in colder temps. But I guess maybe with the can you don't need to worry about that. Maybe with it off though? Or you just get an adjustable gas block and make sure the port is big enough??? If it IS an 18"er, you're probably in the wrong thread.  SPR all the way. But what the heck.... I think it looks freaking great. That's gotta only be 16" eh? Why is it so hard for me to tell anymore. These long rails......

Just to follow up what has been said, perhaps redundantly. Unless it is a specialized rail and upper combo, e.g., something like Seekins or Colt 6940, rail does move, however slightly, when the gun is slung around, or bipod is being loaded, and etc. In addition, many rails have slightly different height than the upper receiver. The photo below has been posted a few pages back. It is a work gun used in a competition ( latest Leupold MK6 3-18x and it was last year, so it is current ). It uses a rings + rail extension combo.

Nope its a factory rifle gas 16in barrel from Rock Creek turned by Rainier. It functions flawlessly with all of my ammo tested. It even cycled unsuppressed some ammo that my DD 10.3 would not. I am not worried about function. Yea the 13.5 rail makes it a little confusing to look at especially with the gas block poking out just a little! |

I just knew I wanted to use the URX, B5 sopmod, larue mount and the 4-12 swaro that I had laying around for months. That pistol grip was all I had around the house but I'm not too picky about the grip and like the look of the magpul. I guess it is not that suprising as the furniture we share is considered some of the best stuff on the market but it is a bit funny our builds ended up almost identical and were built around the same time. That 16 in rifle length gas is a pretty unique that eyekhan has.I like it and think more companies should manufacture those. I just took my Reece out today, super fun gun. I was mainly just trying to sight it in and not trying my best to shoot the tightest group but at 200 yards I had 7 shots within 3.5 while 4 of those 7 were 1.5 in. This was with m193 federal. I was impressed as I'm not a very seasoned shooter, started shooting 2013 and most of that time was spend with a pistol. That was pretty good grouping for me. I will have to try my hardest next range trip and post pics of my groups next time. |

Some nice looking rigs in here.
Here's where mine's at. It's on pause at the moment; I can't justify too much more expense on it while I'm still not satisfied with my performance with irons. Need more practice. Open to suggestions on the rifle. At the moment I'm planning a Geiselle SSA, 2.5-10x32 scope (probably Vortex though I want an NF) and Larue/Harris bipod. It's a complete BCM rifle except for the rail, FH, stock and grip.

I knew that I wanted it from the beginning but I didn't want to spend the money. In the end it would have saved me a few hundred that I'm going to end up eating selling a Vortex I only used for a few hundred rounds. If it's within reason for you to get the NF, I say get it.

I have both, I do like the NF better, but I like the xlr reticle in the vortex more. Plus the capped turrets are nice since you just use the reticle to do hold overs.

Can you elaborate on why the SD-E over the SSA and the BR-S over the BRM-S? I'd like to avoid the Harris to Picatinny adapter that's necessary with a standard Harris. Originally Posted By Petes1552:

The glass quality on the NF is what has me considering it. And Tanner, thanks for the input. That's definitely one of the reasons I'm considering the Vortex. Love that rifle too. |

My DDM4v5. I know I can't use the MBUS sites with the mount on and it is not quick detach. I just didnt want to misplace them so I left them on. Not hurting anything. I will give the mount a whirl and see how I like it before I spend the $ on a Larue or ADM mount. I like the AERO mounts but need to find them in stock first. I'll try this and see if it suits my purpose before doing anything else to it. Added a SSA trigger so it is off to the range to get sighted in.

So what is the lightest cantilever mount out there? Anyone give me advice on what they think is the best and why? Price doesn't need to be a huge factor.

As far as I know, the aero precision is the lightest (3.2ish ounces). Some users have expressed frustration with the optic rotating slightly as the screws are tightened down, although that's easily mitigated with some cant in the opposite direction before tightening. |

It's not about how small the optic is but about the fact that you need some room for the dimension from your cheek while resting on the stock to your eyeball. If you set a scope as low as it will go on an AR, there isn't a whole lot of room because of the inline stock to the barrel. Unlike a traditional rifle that has a stock that is already lower than the top of the barrel, and may slope some too. I've seen a few people put some optics kind of low on an AR and my face doesn't work with it. I actually like mine higher than the standard mounts or standard iron sight height. The standard is fine but I can't go any lower. I'd have to relocate my cheek bone. YMMV. |

It's a complete BCM rifle except for the rail, FH, stock and grip. http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w428/WeaverJ3Cub/AR/DSC_8258_zpspvi6dqbx.jpg Startin to look familiar 
Mine's sittin naked now too... I was counting on some OT over Father's Day weekend, but that fell through... Otherwise I'd be ordering a Viper PST 2.5-10x32 Friday, that's gotta wait until next payday now
Last pic I took of it before selling the NF  But hey, the Block 1.5 has an EOTech EXPS3-0 on it now at least

Anyone know the weight on the URX rails? Been thinking of letting my FDE RIS II go and going with one of those, or getting one on my SBR to put a 1-6 Leupold mk6 or Trijicon 1-4. Haven't decided, and yeah I know one is 600 and the other is well over 1k. ha
EDIT"" Needed be more specific on which URX. I was thinking the 10" and the 13" (I think that is one of the lengths) |

Yours and TannerB's without the paint. Should be fun once it's finished. You had the RIS in the EE too...did that go? EDIT: You might try the EE for the Vortex? I see them around $550-$650 a good bit. Originally Posted By JeredMD:

This needs to be asked in it's own thread. Have you never owned or were issued a rifle with a scope or red dot before? Find a good gun shop, ask to see a rifle and ask if they can help you out with scope mounts and go from there. This isn't rocket science, and I meant no harm by saying this this is not as complicated as you're making this. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GSL:

Still gives me no idea as to what the ideal height for an accurized M4 w/ a Leupold optic that has a 30mm main tube w/ a 36mm objective lense *is*. Sorry for being so "complicated". |
