PROBLEM: I need a couple of LVPO mounts. I'm strongly considering using SCALARWORKS LEAP/08 mounts for my ATACR 1-8x’s.
BACKGROUND: All of my ARs have SW front BUIS and a few also have a SW rear BUIS. Both of my Aimpoint PROs utilize the LEAP/02 mount. Both of my Aimpoint 3x magnifiers use their LEAP/06 flip-mount. So, I extensively and nearly exclusively use SW mounts and BUIS because they are incredibly well machined, thoughtfully engineered, look good and are very robust and easy to use.
CONSIDERATIONS: I’ve never shot with an LVPO, so these ATACR’s will be my first. These LVPO’s and mounts will be used on identical rifles (one to train on, the other to remain in reserve) so I want both LVPOs utilizing the same mounts. I will use Aimpoint ACRO P2’s I’m conjunction with the LVPOs. I intend to use these rifles as my primary arms during the American Civil War II.
ISSUES WITH MOUNT: Reading over the spec sheet, the only point of concern that I can see is that there is only provision for an offset red dot sight vice in-line ring mounting. I’ve read the pros and cons of both red dot sight mounting solutions and know that, so long as I train, either is viable.
RFI: Am I going astray with my choice? Even if you think the SW mount would serve me well, could you provide me with compelling arguments to go a different direction, e.g. LaRue, OEM, etc.?
Many Thanks!
