Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II 2-10x42 & QD Mount?

[Phineas7]

Thinking about buying this combo: https://www.larue.com/products/burr...ope-with-g2b-mil-dot-reticle-and-lt104-mount/

With an option for this mount:

Questions:
1. For an AR, should I opt for the strait mount, or the cantilever for this scope?

2. I've got an ADM mount, and the LaRue appears to be a completely different strategy. What the general consensus on them?

3. Is there anything bad about this scope? (I'm sure there are better, but this is in my price range)

For a small frame AR I would go cantilever mount. As for the mount, if you do not need a QD lever mount I really like the Nightforce unimounts. So if it were me in your position I would buy that scope from Sport Optics (That scope is on sale) and either NF A257 or A194 mount.

After further research, I'm not liking the way the QD lever slides against the rail. I'd prefer on that presses against the rail and has the sliding friction against it's own self like the ADM.

If you don't like the vertical style rings Midwest Industries makes a QD cantilever scope mount also.

Do you need a QD mount? If you can live with a mount that requires tools to remove, get a Geissele Super Precision.

Otherwise, get the Larue. They're solid mounts.

Geissele Super Precision were on sale this weekend. $260 direct from Geissele.
I ended up ordering two. One for this scope and the other for a Bushnell LHRS that I bought in the recent GAP deal.
