[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Scope ring question?

Posted: 9/9/2010 11:50:03 AM EDT

Can anyone tell me what height rings I should use to mount a scope with 32mm objective and 1" tube on a flattop AR-15? I want to keep it as low as possible. Thanks

Get a armalite one piece mount for like $89, you will be better off and its low.

What stock are you using? Even though you could get the scope extremely low with that scope it does not create optimal cheek weld. You might read what cormorantslayer has to say here.

Same height as a A2 upper. The AR is not your traditional hunting rifle stock it has no drop so the scop has to be mounted higher, ABOUT 2" above bore line.

RRA has a nice mount for 1" rings.
