I'm partial to the low profile Reptilia AUS.
New versions of the Scalarworks Leap are good as are the Primary Arms PLX mounts. |

The Reptilia AUS is the right combination of sleek, light and durable with many offset optic mounting options.
Everything I have bought from them is beyond excellent. IMO / YMMV |

IMO / YMMV My order was with Optics Planet and I just now noticed they have the extended version in stock. I cancelled my original order of the standard mount and ordered the extended mount. I think it will work for me. If not, I'll return it (or sell it) and get the Reptilia or ADM mount. |

Another vote for Reptilia AUS. The Badger C1 is also a worthy contender.

I’ve owned a number of G mounts and have since moved on. Reptilia AUS is about as good as it gets. Honorable mention to the Badger C1 as they offer a bit more in the modular accessory department than Reptilia.
I just don’t see a reason for anything else. If you’re considering a Reptilia, look an Lanbo’s Armory. Their prices are considerably cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen. |

Badger C1 and Unity.
Badger does everything Reptilia does but doesn’t have the thin spine that makes arisaka leveling tools difficult to use. Want a tall mount? Go Unity. Want a lower one? Go Badger. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Badger weighs more, has inferior ring mounting options, and has bolt knobs. Weight is negligible. For a 1.7" mount you get .5 oz difference or actually 13.6 grams. It's so small a difference it doesn't matter. It doesn't have bolt knobs it has a bolt that has exposed nuts while the reptilia gas flush nuts. The badger is easier to torque with a socket. The nuts stick out less than most charging handles and much less than the brass deflector or the forward assist. A factory aimpoint and an acog has bolt knobs which stick out much further. Ring mounting options are on par with each other. The c1 actually offers more options for the rings. Only thing reptilia offers on rings badger doesn't is a 45 directly to the top ring. For that badger offers an arm. Their build quality is on par with each other and both are great mounts.. |

Badger C1, Reptilia, and NF Ultramount. Scalarworks’ thumb wheel is a terrible design. And their mounts have had failures. Hard pass on Scalar for me when there are multiple other excellent options.
If you want Geissele, Primary Arms has the 1.54 DDE mount in stock. |

Dang, that's a better price than what I paid at Optics Planet. If it hadn't shipped already I would cancel and get it from PA. I really appreciate all the suggestions in this thread! I'll definitely try some of them out on my next one. Heck, I might upgrade one of my other mounts. ETA: Well, after adding in taxes and shipping from Primary Arms it would have only been $7 cheaper so not worth the hassle. |

The G$ models are overrated, IMO, but I can’t say there’s anything bad about them. I still have a couple that I haven’t gotten around to selling yet. |

Are 1.7" mounts mostly for nods or just for a more heads-up position?
I got my Geissele mount in and it's really nice. I did a quick mount of my Eotech Vudu 1-10x and I like it. Part of me kind of wishes I would have done an Eotech XPS and magnifier. I guess I could always build another gun for the Eotech Vudu and switch this 14.5" Super Duty over to the XPS+magnifier. |

It's analogous to a lower 1/3 CW with a RDS. Just quicker for standing, gives a bit more clearance over an MFAL, and isn't bad prone. |

so is it possible to level a scope in a Reptilia AUS using a Arisaka Defense scope leveler given it has a raised narrow "spine" on the flat?

Quote HistoryQuoted: so is it possible to level a scope in a Reptilia AUS using a Arisaka Defense scope leveler given it has a raised narrow "spine" on the flat? It may be a little tricky but it should work. The key to the Arisaka leveler is having a flat surface beneath the scope, doesn’t matter how wide it is. The “spine” has a flat top surface so it shouldn’t be a problem. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: so is it possible to level a scope in a Reptilia AUS using a Arisaka Defense scope leveler given it has a raised narrow "spine" on the flat? Probably won’t work on a 1.54 due to lack of clearance. Should be fine on the taller ones. More room for error so just check it a few times before torquing. |
