A month or two ago I picked up a "Bluedreaux Special" Zeiss 1-4 LPVO from Eurooptic as a Christmas gift for my son. I figured I would wait until Black Friday to buy a decent mount. So far, I haven't seen any great deals on in-stock mounts. I don't think it needs to be QD. I'm not sure what height I should go with or how much extension I'm looking for.
Over the summer, my son bought a Ruger 556 just in case he couldn't down the road. He's away at college and shoots very little lately. I don't need the best-of-the-best, but I usually like to live by the buy once, cry once creed if and when I can. And, when I buy a gift for someone, I prefer that it is not something the recipient can't wait to upgrade asap.
Any deals to be had currently?
Thanks.

I bought the Leupold Mark AR mount for my Ruger MPR and mounted a Trigicon 1-4. I think the mount was like 80$ at my local shop. Midway has it for 75$ as of right now. Here’s an idea how it looks.

I really like American Defense mounts, the QD works well and can return to zero well. Optics planet has about 20% off. I haven't been shopping for one lately.

Thanks, fellas. The Leupold looks stout as hell. Do these mounts usually require lapping or are they mostly good to go straight from the box?

I had the local shop mount and bore sight it for me as I bought them together. No lapping was done, Just torqued properly and out the door. It’s been good to go since.

I've bought and used a couple of the Burris PEPR mounts. Not light, but not spendy and I've had no issues with them banging around the truck.
