It also looks like some guys run backwards scope mounts under their Leupolds. Hopefully that gets straightened out soon.Originally Posted by ClearedHot

Why does it matter as long as it holds a zero?

You are exactly right, and I would think the best way to maintain zero would be to keep it mounted on the upper receiver vs the FF rail. I cannot tell if he is running a monolithic upper or not so there is a chance his zero could be affected. Just an observation...

Just that.....it's definitely not going to hold a precise zero very long, especially considering the conditions that particular rifle is in.
I wouldn't even span the gap on a plinker, let alone a work rifle...that said, I'm sure dude is making due with what he has. Mounting a precision optic completely on the rail is an oxymoron.
It could be worse though, he could have mounted it half in between....thereby still losing zeros, all the while doing damage to the optic mount, and even potentially the optic itself.
eta...definitely not running a true monolithic chassis, or even a polylithic for that matter.

What is the velocity loss going from 18" to 14.5"?

Not sure if it would be different for an ar15 though

Typically you lose about 50fps per inch of reduction in barrel length.
