I need a mount for my Leopold MK AR 3-9 that will put the back of the scope at least in front of the charging handle, I need something like the Larue SPR mount that will mount far up on the rifle but doesn't cost $210, I'm in about the $100 or under range.

Burris PEPR QD works well for me.


I still have 3-4 slots to move up in this picture.

The drawback to the PEPR is they are not US made

You really do need to save up for the LaRue SPR or an ADM. They are worth it.  I have an SPR, the LT-135, which is a bit higher because of the height of my folded rear sight and the diameter of my eyepiece, but you can probably get by with the lower LT-104.

To match your scope, the Leupold one piece Mark 2 cantilever mount is about $100.  It is not a return to zero QD design, but would be solid.  It is intended to work with your particular scope. It does have a somewhat quick release capability (13mm nuts) for access to your backup sights, but return to zero accuracy when replaced would only be approximate.

If you don't need QD capabilities look at the Primary Arms extended mount.  It should fulfill your needs for $60 or so.

Mount

Save up and get the LaRue SPR or SPR-E mount.  I cannot exaggerate the level of quality exhibited in LaRue's mounts and other products.  I've got their SPR-E mount on my precision AR, as I have an illuminated scope with an abnormally long rear bell and wanted to still shoot NTCH.  The SPR-E fit my needs perfectly, and the QD levers are amazing.  I love being able to count on return-to-zero exactly, and have proven them to myself and others several times.  Now I won't own an optic without a QD mount that guarantees RTZ (at least I won't own it for long!).

Save up and get the best.  In the grand scheme of things $250 isn't that much for the best there is.  Now that I know I can pull my scope off and put it back on without any loss of zero, I've found the my rifle has a lot more versatility for me.  I can take the same rifle and yank the scope off and stick an ACOG on it when I don't need a 16x monster.

One other thing is I like  low profile mount, preferably 1" with my 40mm objective

Nikon:



I've read that the early ones were made in the US, but later versions are foreign.  After seeing this picture, I'd believe it, because mine does not look like the one in the photo.  Nikon also has one with a 20-MOA tilt to it.

I see what they  did there...

Yankee Hill makes one for a little over $100 - $115 I believe.  I have 3 of them and they've all held up well.
