    Other options for LOW and forward scope mounting on an AR15 ????

    Curious if anyone is aware of any options/products I have not found yet.

    Looking to mount the scope forward for eye relief but approx ½” lower than the common 1.5” high ar15 mounts such as Bobro and ADM. They are just too high for my preference.

    Desired height as seen in pic below: (Scope has a 30mm tube)

    From rail top surface to scope body: approx ½ “= 13 mm
    From rail top surface to center of eyepiece approx : 1 1/32” = 27 mm




    .
    Below are the best two options I've found so far, but they are not quite low enough.

    .

    Option 1: Center of eyepiece 1.3 “ = 33mm high using (PRI) Precision Reflex Inc. extended cantilever mount – only mount I could find lower than 1.5”. Not sure of quality of this mount and still higher than I prefer)

    Link to pri mount:

    .

    Option 2: Center of eyepiece 1.2 “ = 30mm high using Valdada Low extended riser rail (1/4”=6.35mm) plus low rings or unimount ( an additional .3“ = 7.6mm). Rings used for this rail need provide Ό” plus height for the riser rail between eyepiece and receiver rail.

    Link to valdada low (.25") extended rail/ riser: Also not sure if mounting on extended riser rail is secure

    These rings and the Valdada extended riser would get you to 1.12 center height. That is just shy of 1 1/8" http://www.webyshops.com/brand/Vorte...FRRk7AodWygAnA

    Nightforce lists their A190 Ultralite Uni-mount at 1.125" (http://nightforceoptics.com/accessor...lite-unimount/). I'm not sure if this a center of the scope measurement, but it might be worth a call to Nightforce if the 20moa feature is acceptable for your application.
