    Good luck with Larue. They have been a dick to me on returns. I think that mount is awseome for an SPR AR, but you need and adjustable cheek riser.

    I would get appropriate sized rings, (Nightforce, or Badger or Seekins) and a stock pack or a Kydex cheek riser. Typically you need something to get your head up a bit.

    Good luck. Nice shooting

    Looks to me as if your scope is waaaay higher than it needs to be. Usually you want the objective to be as close to the barrel as you can get it. Otherwise you get what you've got, where you need to raise your head up a great deal to be able to see through the scope.

    Looks as if you've got the "high rings" when you can probably get away with either medium, or perhaps the low ones.

    On R700's, I am using Badger Ordnance 30mm Standard (0.823") Scope Rings, Part Number 306-08, and the objective clears the barrel with minimum but adequate excess even with Butler Creek lens caps installed.

    Do that. You don't need to reinvent the wheel here, just get the lowest set of rings that'll work for you and then if you need more height at the rear use an adjustable cheek piece or a stock pack.

    Unless you use the optic on several rifles, or for traveling.

    I'm not big on the QD MOUNT for multiple rifles. You can use regular rings and do the same thing if your using a pic rail and most rings that don't move scope in rings. And you can still move scope and use regular rings.

    That Magpul video sold a lot of QD MOUNTS.

    To each his own though.

    I agree that a bolt gun does not require a QD mount at all. If you use one of these your scope will be very close to your original zero on remount.

    This is true, but it is good idea, if it were me I would go with sphur or stay with good rings.

    No optic really requires a qd mt but it makes life easier.
