AR-15 Scope Mounting Question
« on: February 23, 2004, 12:42:52 PM »
I have a Bushmaster Varminter with a flatop receiver.  I have the scope mounted as far forward as possible and still need it moved forward about an inch to make the gun "fit" better.   When I bring a rifle to my shoulder I don't want to have to adjust my position to get a full view through the scope.  The gun itself seems to fit me, I just need the scope moved up, so I don't want to lengthen the stock.  Does anyone know of some type of rail extension for an AR?

You didn't mention what kind of scope mountign system you are using, but here is the one I use.



It's a B Square flat top AR15 scope mount.  You can find them at Midway USA and other retail outlets.

Works real well.  I was trained to shoot an AR with my nose on the charging handle, so I need my scope as far forward as I can get it.  This mount allows you to mount your scope out over the handgaurd more.

Thanks for the info.  It's just what I'm looking for.  Do you know what the difference is between

and this

Right now my scope is mounted in Burris signature z rings directly to the flattop base.

I think the first one is all one peice. Rings and base all in one.  The other one is just a riser that mounts onto your flattop.  You supply the rings.
