| I'm going to mount a scope on my MSAR and I'm wondering what type of 30 mm mount height you guys used? High, Med, Low? |
I have a DMS-1 in TPS "medium" height rings on mine and the eye relief is perfect. I also have a somewhat fat face. Vectorsc put a Meopta Meostar on his MSAR using low rings and I had to smash my cheek into the stock in an attempt to get a clear sight picture. |
Ask and you shall recieve. Note two things from the following pic-- 1: I've reversed the TPS rings so the mounting bolts extend to the right side of the gun. This means no bashing my knuckles on protruding mounting hardware when I use the charging handle. 2: I've positioned the scope in the rings and their mounting points on the rail to move the optic as far forward as possible, in the name of eye relief. When I shoot offhand, I shoot hunched over in a crouch, which moves my head closer to the muzzle of the gun than someone who shoots standing straight up. If I were going to use a Larue QD mount I'd get one with some offset built in between the base and rings.  I have a friend (and fellow arfcommer) who has a DMS-1 in a Larue QD Mount and the height of the scope was fine. I'm not sure of the part number on his mount, sorry. The forward lever of the mount dug a big divot into the side of the MSAR's rail. I don't care, but someone who doesn't want their rifle scratched up might have. Here's a pic of me (foreground) sighting in my MSAR at 100 yards, with Vectorsc on the left side of the bench attempting to spot for me using his Meostar.  And here's a crappy pic I took trying to align my camera lens with the view through the DMS-1. The optic is actually much better than this pic shows, I'm going to try again to take a better picture soon. Range is 100 yards, power is 4x.
