Rifle Scopes Anybody have a USO LR17 in a cantilever mount? AR application.

[Money Waster]

I recently got a new scope for my bolt rifle which means I can move the previous scope (USO LR17) to my AR. The problem is that I’m having a tough time finding a cantilever mount that will accommodate the huge elevation/windage/parallax housing on this scope. Measuring the distance between the Seekins rings which are still mounted on it, I need 2.9”-3.0” of space between the rings. I’ve looked at Midwest Industries, American Defense and LaRue mounts without luck, although I don’t know if LaRue either does or does not work as they have no info on ring spacing on their web site. I called them to see if I could get some info but was put on hold. After 20 minutes I gave up.

Anyway, I know that this is a shot in the dark, but I figured I’d ask here and maybe get lucky that someone has this set-up and can offer a recommendation.

Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, the Badger Recon has the right spacing.

Also the Larue OBR, Larue LT111, the JP enterprises one piece, and AAdmount.


Double check before you buy one though.

The KDG Sidelok mount has adjustable distance rings. There were some issues with the early version, but supposedly changed some design elements and mine have worked well.

You guys are awesome! Thank you for the leads. I will check these all out.

I’m currently using the badger unimount with the lr17 and it’s perfect height wise. Objective clearance is good but not much movement back and forth when in the rings due to the erek. On a standard rail, that’s no problem though cause you’ve got a lot of real estate. Pm me if you want some pics.

I have an ER25 and use the Leupold MK8 IMS and it works well, so I'd imagine it would work on the LR17.

I remeber the Bobro precision rifle one with the double levers works. I ran that on an LR17 back when I had one.

I'm using the Badger Unimount for my LR17. It's been bombproof on my SR-25. Toopoorformance is spot on; there's not much room in the mount, fore/aft. But on an AR platform, I haven't had any problem getting eye relief set.

The Warne LR-SKEL works great with the LR17, and is available in a 20 MOA model if that is one of your requirements.

Thanks for the link. That’s a nice looking mount.
