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 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. |

What do you guys think for my Recce. Keep the PA 1-6 or a vortex 4-12? The 4-12 is on bull barrel 20inch AR I use for strictly bench shooting

I'm not RustedAce, but to me it looks like an FDE basecoat (maybe factory KAC Taupe?) with overlay of some fat darker brown stripes. And use. A lot of use. Can't weather the finish otherwise

Mine: http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy138/TexAg10/Firearms/IMAG0953_zpsuwgcykkn.jpg 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. |
