Shooting groups with M4/AR - options for optics

Hard to beat the Leupold Mark 2 as a mount. Rock solid and under $100

Mine even holds zero when removed

My skull is funky. I'm always raising the comb on my stocks too high for most others to shoot.

Well good to hear I am not the freak.

On another note, to do your best shooting a kit that fits you is worth the extra money in my opinion. I also believe that anyone doing a significant amount of shooting is going to modify their kit to suit their needs. There is no one size fits all in other words.

I bought the rings for a Nikon P-223. They are 1" rings. Got rid of the P-223 and use the same rings for my Leupold 2x7 ultralight. Still loving those rings.

Are these the rings you are referring too?

Yes, and for the price they're a steal.

For shooting groups, and testing/working up loads, I use a Nikon P-223-3X9X40 IN A LaRue SPR/M4-EER.

I use it on both my AR's. I switch back and forth all the time, and it holds zero at 100yds on both AR's. The cool thing is that I have it zeroed on my favored AR, and all I have to do when I mount it to my other one is click the windage and elevation a few clicks, and it's zeroed to that one.

I mainly use an Aimpoint T-1 in a LaRue t660, and an Eotech EXPS3-2. They both return right to zero when I'm done playing with the Nikon.

This set up works great for me, YMMV.

How about the aero precision mount that is currently being discussed in a current thread? It is only 3oz, and it is listed at $84.99 on the manufacturer's website.

I know nothing of it other than the information in the thread and the information on the manufacturer's website (link in the current thread). But, it is another option.
