MIRS Rail for M-24

[Sheriff7]

Good morning all,

Just wanted to ask a quick technical question that I am in hopes that all of the experience on this board could assist me in answering. I recently purchased one of the Remington M-24 refurbs (Collectors Series as it is labeled from Rem), I was interested in purchasing a MIRS rail for it. The rifle is equipped with the Leupold M3A. Should I go with the 0 MOA or 20 MOA. I believe the scope base supplied w/ the rifle is sloped, but not sure the MOA. Also, would the 20 MOA throw off the 1-10 adjustments built in to elevation turrets? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You already got the rifle? I have a buddy who is a Category 1 (Active duty USMC 0317) and he hasn't even received a response yet

To answer your question, 20MOA would be the way to go. It will not throw off the adjustments it actually will give you more elevation and thus allow you to fire at longer distances.

Why are you choosing the MIRS?

Silly question, but is this a show/collector piece or something you intend to actually run NV on?

[Sheriff7]

Thank you for the replies. No . definitely not a show piece. I intend to use it and use it well. Eventually, as funds allow, I would like to get a N/V set up. Eurodriver, thank you for replying as well. Let your buddy know that if he gets tired of waiting on Remington for the word, many are available on gunbroker etc. I would hate to see him miss out on this set up if he is interested in purchasing one.

If that is the case, my suggestion would be to wait and get a Badger/bridge style NV mount WHEN you get your NV setup. We have a mix of Mccann MIRS and Remington MARS. I have the MARS on my issued setup and I hate it with a passion. I am constantly having to re-torque the mount back down and we aren't using NV all that often. The MIRS seems to have less flex than the MARS, but we've had some fit issues with a few that required a trip to the smith to get aligned properly. I've spoken at length to some fed snipers about the Mccann and they have seen similar issues.

If you don't have an NV setup currently, it appears to be a waste of $450-600 that will just add weight, potential problems, and sit your scope up much higher.

...Just my $0.02...mileages may vary...

Sage advice right here. Avoid the MIRS/MARS mounts if at all possible. They just do not work.

my experience is it depends on the specific NV unit you use. some are more tolerant of scope-nv alignment issues than others. in theory though, you should try to keep the scope and clip on aligned. so if your scope is on a 20 MOA angle, try to put your clip on at the same angle.

We've had nothing but problems with the MIRS. What stock are you running?

Dont install anything untill you buy a clip on. The EFR will work just fine. The MIRS is too tall of a check weld and a waste of money in my opinion as far as function. There are better options out there today. But if you were wanting it for looks then you have to make that choice.

The nice thing with a clip on is you do not have to have perfect alignment for it to work and maintain zero. I have probably 1/2"+ difference on some rifles with my PVS-22 and it still works great.
