AD Recon scope mount - standard or extended

[SHIVAN]

There are so many retarded set-ups posted over there.

A lot of shooters don't shoot NTCH. Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's best, and doesn't mean it's the way the military teaches it.

I certainly don't shoot the AR10 with NTCH. To do otherwise is asking for a contusion to your proboscis.

The way I check if my mount is correct is to mount the optic to the rifle, pick up the rifle with my eyes closed, and then shoulder the weapon.

If I open my eyes and the optic is "right there", then I have it mounted properly for ME. If I open my eyes and I have to make major adjustments to get a good sight picture, or find the reticle, then it needs adjustment.

Also, I have a long cheekweld area, apparently. So the high Badger rings work well for me. I see a lot of people who fit themselves around the rifle and not the other way around.

Oh, and BTW, if you search out USMC03's responses, you will see a very good case for why the SPR-EER, or ADM Recon-X is probably the best solution for most magnified optics that don't have a PEQ in front of them.

All valid points. But you know what I mean...

Some of the shit that gets posted wouldn't make sense for any human body type. Set ups that you know damned well the goober behind the trigger isn't even touching his face to the stock to shoot it, let alone get a proper cheekweld.

Yep, I know precisely what you mean. Not sure how many M1A's I've seen with those high risers, and medium or high rings....

Then no cheekpiece.

Yet they assure you that they can see through and use the scope well enough to shoot sub-MOA groups at 500yds using South African surplus or better yet Indian milsurp.

Exactly. I always like to ask how they get a cheekweld?

And they always respond with something along the lines of what you posted.

Cheekweld?!? I thought it was chinweld!

I think "buy before try" leaves many folks with something that doesn't really fit well. They probably don't know they could improve their setup, or are unwilling to spend to try something else.

Don't know if this will help but here's a 1.5-5 in a 1.93 LaRue mount and a 3.5-10 in a 1.5 LaRue mount.

I don't shoot nose to CH but almost, I shoot where I feel most comfortable. I run the stock in one notch when wearing a coat and even though on lower powers I could mount them further forward, when you crank up the power your eye relief closes in.

If you shoot NTCH the extended mount might work better but maybe this will give you an idea.

PEQ??

[SHIVAN]

PEQ-2A

[royta]

PEQ-2A

Thanks.

He's got too many posts. While searching, I did find this thread of his, https://www.m4carbine.net/showpost.p...35&postcount=1, and you can see the turrets are right up against the front ring on this standard mount, limiting any further forward adjustment. Then I see other pictures in this post, https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...1052#post71052. These rifles have the extended mount, and I can see the turrets are still against the forward ring, but I can also see there is more room between the eye and the eyepiece on the shooters. There's also plenty of room to slide to the rear if the scope requires it.

Do you happen to know which threads I can find some written statements? Thanks.
