Re: Bobro Optic mount! Larue has nothing on this!
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: One-Eyed Jack</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The NF Unimount puts the optical center 1.375" above the surface of the rail and is just about perfect for me with a similar piston AR. My rear BUIS just fits under the ocular of my NF 2.5-10x scope. The Bobro does look high on the POF, thanks for pointing it out as I'm looking for a mount for another scope. With 30mm rings, the ADM Recon is 1.471" high. I haven't seen any data for the Bobro, but will look around.
PS I found out that the 30mm Bobro mount is 1.52" high, so it is the highest of the three. Here's a summary:
* American Defense 30mm: 1.471" high (0 MOA cant, QD with 1 or 2 locking levers)
* AADMount 30mm: 1.625" (20 MOA cant, not QD)
* Bobro 30mm: 1.52" (0 MOA cant, QD with 1 locking lever)
* Nightforce 30mm Unimount: 1.375" (20 MOA cant, not QD)
* Larue Tactical 30mm LT-104: 1.5" (0 MOA cant, QD with 2 locking levers) </div></div>
Thank you OEJ, that is a very useful summary. I found it difficult to assemble this basic information too.
I also found it a bit disappointing that the QD mounts didn't seem to offer anything close to 1-inch or less. (I think I did see one that was about 1.1" but I forget the brand name now.) I guess that's a result of the mechanical parts required for the job.
In the end, each user must decide which mount will work best for what they need. It's nice to see that Bobro, Aadmount, Spuhr and others are leading the way to more features and choices.
