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.

ADM Scout Mount. If you're going to fuss this much, get a Magpul PRS and custom the LOP and LOH.

This is a scout mount by ADAM. It shoots fine as is, that Vortex is a Viper PST 1-4 30mm tube.

So, I have the Leupold optic in hand and it's eye relief is 3-3.5" based on the mag I set it at.  Having it almost flush with the charging handle is a no go.  It has to sit further forward and I get that.  What I want to know is if it's height matters for those who use them.  I can squish my cheek down easier than it is to raise it up (jaw weld) for a nice shoulder to POA hold.

I mean shit guys, I know I'm being fussy, but I'm also dropping my limited savings on stuff that may make marginal differences.  Considering I'm building a "recce"/recon rifle as opposed to a patrol M4 which I could make with an ACOG and non-free float handgaurd, I figured you'd appreciate the scrutiny.  If not, understood.

~1.5" ring height is the usual for an AR rifle

A 36mm obj. will have a ton of room to spare... I had a 42mm Obj. and it had more than enough room

I've been having great results with this from 50-400 yards. I haven't learned how to judge wind well, so that's still messing with me (using m855).
The PA 1-6x works well at all ranges so far.

Ok, now that I am done with load development I can 100% say this barrel is a tac driver!

Anyone looking for an accurate barrel for a recce the Rainier Rock Creek barrel should be at the top of your list!

Awesome shooting.  Am I remembering you have the rifle length one?

I really want to give that a try, but I have a 16" Larue heading my way from the blowout they did.

Now comes the big question.  I snagged a KAC RAS long, I think that would make a sick RECCE build but now I've been wandering into the MK12 thread and there's just something about the Mod1.  

I'm just kind of meh on the 18" barrels.  Has crossed my mind to build a Mod1-Hollandish hybrid.

I'll definitely give some better ammo a shot. It's just been an intermediate range plinker for me up until now.
I'm also learning that I shoot better without a Bipod, so that needs some work before I start spitting out $1/round ammo :o

1-6 should be more than enough to get you to 600, and you could go further even if you need. That's really what a Recce is for.

From what I can gather, sandbags are always a bit more stable and make it a bit easier to shoot well.   But you really get bragging rights if you can make little groups like Eyekahn did with just a bipod and nothing else.   I always figure it's just fun for me, so I use bags of  some sort.  Well, sometimes I just use the bipod.   Actually a bipod and a bag on the rear is a pretty good way to go too.   But if you just want to go for pure accuracy, bags are the way to go I think.  

And dang Eyekahn, that is some good shooting.  Consistent too.   That's like bolt gun good.  Ruger Single shot with a bull barrel good.    In fact, since we're on the subject...  are you using just the bipod for that?  Or are you using bags too?

Correct, It is the FFP model and I was not sure if I would like it when I got it but I really do. It has the horse shoe reticle so on one power it acts as a red dot.  The glass is very clear on these scopes as well not as clear as my Nightforce but I would say just about as clear as my Leopold MK4's. I picked this one up on sale for $499 I don't think it would be the best  value at $1000 since the playing field get tough at that price but sub $800 I think it is a very good value.

Pretty sure this is still a Recce but I put it in the SPR thread too:

Got rid of the Acog, was not enough magnification for what I want the rifle to do. Went to the Sopmod stock, Harris swivel bipod and GGG mount. Got a sweet deal on the ADM Recon X on the EE too. Really enjoying this setup, but I'll enjoy it more when my Larue 16" Stealth barrel finally gets here

About to pull the trigger on a Leupold mr/t 1.5-5 illuminated SPR reticle. They give a nice Mil discount. Any feed back on that glass? Really just using it as intended for the Recce, cqb and being able to reach out. My KAC FF RAS will be here Monday, along with another kac front buis 99051 (3rd time buying this stupid $200 fucking sight) and really just contemplating glass. Thanks in advance

I've been thinking about the same scope.  I'm holding back a bit due to some negative reporting on using that scope close up, but I haven't decided against it yet.  I'm waiting to hear more feedback.
I'm also considering an SWFA HD 1-6 or a Nightforce 1-4.  I just need to sell my Vortex 2.5-10 to afford something!

What's everyone's opinion on a 4X? Sufficient enough for groups @100yrds?

I have the 3-9x40 w/ SPR reticle (pic above) and I love it. The dot is bright, the lines heavy and pronounced and easy to pick up. Highly recommended

Looks like somebody wanted to conceal his identity, but not ruin the photo with a black box over his face.

There, now that I've kinda half way contributed to the thread, will you guys school me on what I need to buy to mount a Harris bipod to a picatinny rail, and where I should buy it form?


I hear these are nice.



this is cheaper and works the same.  

i had to get a pair of 1/4" e-clips and use them to shim the stud as it stuck down too far, but it works great on my mk12.  

Damn! Just a small price difference between those two huh?



Remember you get what you pay for.

My first 2 optics on my recce were a Vortex Viper 1-4 and then a TA-31 chevron. I hated 4x. Could not shoot a tight group at 200 for shit. 9x now and I love it.
