I want to install this scope on my AR15 with out having to install a cheek riser. Is that possible?

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on July 11, 2022

Good afternoon!

On the AR-Platform, a cantilever mount is indeed the advantageous mount to use, and will position the optic at an appropriate height for proper cheekweld, very typically without the use of any additional risers!

The Sport- and Pro-Series cantilever mounts in 30mm would be ideally suited.

Paul, guest, from Eastern cape, South Africa, asked on August 01, 2019

How does the zoom effect the accuracy of the rifle for example if I group well with 10× and take it up to 20× will it still group well?

Expert Answer

Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on August 30, 2019

The accuracy is more dependent on the skill of the shooter and the accuracy of the rifle. Typically more magnification can aid the shooter in being more accurate.

How will this handle being mounted on an AR-10 .308?

AI Answer

This Diamondback Tactical scope is built with rugged, shockproof construction designed to withstand recoil and impact, so it should hold up well when mounted on an AR-10 chambered in .308 Winchester.
