Will be mounting a Leupy ER/T 6.5-20x50 on a DPMS LR-308 with A3 upper. Which mount should I be looking at between these two?

Re: Burris PEPR or Burris Extreme high rings?
I would go with the peper with the quick throws, and also have a set of folding buis. If you decide to take the glass off its a repeatable set up so you wont loose zero and you can shoot with irons aswell.

PEPR if you must go that route. Supposed to be a qd version in the works. Honestly though man since you spent the extra$$ for a good scope I would spend just a little more and get a better quality mount than either of those 2 choices. Not that they won't/ don't work....

Re: Burris PEPR or Burris Extreme high rings?
Open to suggestions...LaRue, Badger? Kinda trying to determine if I need the additional 2" of forward mounting that the PEPR style gives me.

Re: Burris PEPR or Burris Extreme high rings?
I've had a PEPR mount for about 2 years now and I don't think I can recommend it. The flaw that I see is in the design. Whereas in most cantilever mounts, the base runs 90* up to the front ring, the PEPR has a gradual slope. I put the same Leatherwood CMR scope in both a PEPR mount and an ADM Recon mount. When set on a table, the PEPR mount fell forward and the objective hit the table. The American Defense did not.
Now I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but scopes take enough abuse as is, esp on a 308 caliber or larger, and not being completely self supported isn't something that I'm comfortable with.
That's a very subjective opinion and I don't have any technical data to back it up so take it for what it is. However, I can speak to the build quality of the PEPR vs the ADM. It's been said here a thousand times, you get what you pay for. The heads on the mounting screws ding and nick easily, even with the proper sized socket, the top half of the ring doesn't line up perfectly with the bottom half and it chewed my scope up pretty good and the ADM hasn't put any marks on it so far.
I know the price discrepancy is significant but I feel like it's there for a reason. That's a nice piece of glass and it deserves a nice mount. You don't buy a mansion and furnish it at Good Will.
This is the American Defense Recon unit. I would give it serious consideration. It's a little cheaper than the Bobro/Nightforce, etc mounts but still top shelf quality. If you want to bump up another $15-$20 you can look into the LaRue SPR mounts, and although I don't have experience with them their reputation speaks for itself.

If going with the one-piece, will I need one with 20moa cant to reach out to 800-1000?

Re: Burris PEPR or Burris Extreme high rings?
I've got a Burris PEPR and a Larue LT-104. They both get the job done. I will say the Larue holds zero quite well. I haven't taken the Burris off to know. A little extra eye releif with the cantilever mount would probably be a good thing. With the 50mm objective my scope sits just high enough in the Larue to get a Butler Creek cap on it.
Just for reference it is 1.5" from the top of the pic rail to the center line of the scope.

Re: Burris PEPR or Burris Extreme high rings?
I just looked on Larue's website, I saw one with a 10 MOA cant but did not see one with a 20MOA cant. Did I miss it?

Re: Burris PEPR or Burris Extreme high rings?
I've used to of the PERP mountsand havn't had any misallignment of the rings damage either of my scopes. LaRue is of course better but the PERP will get the job done. The PERP QD mount is almost impossible to find.

For your application I'd recommend either my AADMOUNT (info below) or the NF Unimount. Both have 20 MOA built in.

wow, that thing looks like it's a beast. I like it. It is definitely in the top for my choices right now.
