What ring heights would be recommended for mounting a Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20mm on an SCR? Not sure if I'll go with a sporter or monte carlo stock yet, so recommendations for both comb heights would be appreciated or feedback from your experience.

The original end cap had some bubbling, but I am going to take an inch or so off of it, anyway, and then add a thin LimbSaver pad. Been planning this build for a while and finally found the right one (at a price that didn't kill me.) The upper will change, but it's what I have built now. |

I've thought long and hard about a wood stock with a metal handguard and did not like the brown/black combo.
THAT works! |

Be prepared to do a little wood working. The SCR has a built up area where the recoil spring tube attaches to the receiver, you'll have to whittle out the end of the stock to get it to fit correctly. I also needed an extended 5/8" spade bit to remove a tight spot in the center of the stock.

View Quote If I remember correctly, the original opening in my 1100 straight stock was 11/16", while the recoil tube attachment was 13/16". I happened to have a Dremel grinding stone bit that was the exact diameter I needed. It's not even 1/2" deep, so it doesn't take much. The rest of the recoil system fit, but I had to open it up just a hair at the back end to actually get my 19mm socket in to tighten it. |

Any folks have lessons-learned about mounting optics low enough to use with the non-Monte Carlo sporter stocks? Can you get decent cheekweld on the standard stock by using really low rings and a scope with a slim bell?
Just got me wondering since so many AR optics and mounts are designed to be raised up high to counter the inline stock. |

View Quote I ordered the Larue ultra low rings at first for my Vortex Razor Gen II and they were too low. I then ordered the "regular" style Larue 30mm scope mount in the low position(probably the ones designed for the HK guns) and it has been the perfect height. I am running an SCR with the "short" stock configuration. ETA: The irons I really like are the CZ ones. I tried the Troy HK style ones and they seemed a tad high for me. |

Wishing for a 308 platform SCR (ARES, are you listening?). I think a 338 Federal in one of these would be the ticket.

They seem to keep running if you neglect maintenance.

On Boyds' webpage, however, while you can order a walnut 1100 stock, you cannot purchase a walnut AR-15 handguard. So, you can have your mid-length handguard, but you'll have to go with laminate furniture.
