I'm not an AR guy. Most of the AR's I've scoped have been with smaller glass. About to put a bigger scope on a heavy/varmint AR and I'd appreciate input on mounts. Scope is long and about 28oz's (30mm). I like to have rings as close to the ends of the main tube as possible for strength....which is why I'm asking....most AR specific mounts are spaced close. Using rings only may be limiting on how far forward it can be mounted.

Advise welcome from those with experience mounting big scopes on AR's.
