Mounting this on my ar-15. Do I need low or mid mounts. I want to feep it as low as possible

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan C., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on May 21, 2019

You would need an AR-height mount. AR rifles require higher mounts that most rifles because the stock comes directly off the back of the receiver rather than angling down. As a result, a lower mount results in being unable to get your eye down to the eyepiece.

Correct mounting rings for this scope to an AR-15 with a pic rail?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on December 17, 2024

I would recommend using a 1-piece scope mount such as the Vortex Cantilever Ring Mount (linked below). This mount is designed to provide the correct height and forward placement for proper riflescope mounting on flat-top ARs.

Buddy, member, from TX, United States, asked on November 18, 2022

What height rings to mount to a Ruger M77 Mark 1. I think it requires 2 different ring heights

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on December 05, 2022

You would need either Ruger factory rings in 30mm, which indeed are ordered individually, and would require either a 4 and 5, or a 5 and 6. Alternatively, a set of Leupold/Ruger 30mm rings, sold as a pair!
