I like the SWFA 1913 tac rings, but not sure which height I would need with this scope. Anyone have any experience using these rings on a rail with a 50mm obj? Lows, mediums, or highs? Also, which adaptor are you using for a Harris bipod mount? Bob Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

As for harris bipod mount, I just use a sling stud mount that attaches to the bottom of the rail/handguard. Yours may attach differently, so its dependent on the style of bi-pod you have.

Yep, Cantilever's are the way to go on AR's. You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it. You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell

The one I got appears it'll easily outrun stuff 3X the cost. Thread inserts are a nice touch. Que the every AR is a battle rifle crew. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Warhu...2C78-419C-A35E-B1DEDA56F1E5?ref_=ast_bln Last edited by MtnBoomer; 03/03/21.

Eg, like a set of SWFAs. . It is just 6061-T6 aluminum... Burris PEPR, unspecified $90. SWFA SALT unspecified $55. Cheap Vortex? All Chinky yet functional. The Vortex for a visual. $75-100. Got damn it looks the same. Last edited by MtnBoomer; 03/03/21.

I’ve got lows on a Wyoming arms 1/2” riser and it’s still pretty low, about 1.35 I think. Great for prone for me but way lower than my other AR mounts. Most cantilever mounts are 1.4-1.5”. Lower 1/3 like my aimpoint PRO are like 1.63” I think. So just for reference. Magpul m-lok bipod stud. Sean

Bob No idea any more. Just don't cause no trouble! LOL Hey, for what it's worth, I tried a set of MSR height Mtn Techs on one recently and it was close to being okay, but not ideal. The forward offset is the way to go. Good luck. A pretty good way to see the plethora of mounts. https://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=30mm+scope+mounts&psize=96&f_a=97 Last edited by MtnBoomer; 03/04/21.
