Scope mount and rings

[shoots&misses]

i purchased a Vortex Viper PST and am looking for a quality mount/rings. I'm putting this on my .308 on an AR platform. Looking for something that will be consistent and reliable.

Do you need any cant (20 moa etc) built into the mount?

I don't believe so. This is a rifle I use for pig hunting and some range work.

"Can't" hurt...

Yeah, a 20moa cant in your mount won't hurt and could come in handy at distance.

You dont need to break the bank, some seekins/vortex precision rings will do exceptionally fine and if you are going to spend badger money I would go ARC M10s first. Bottom level I would be comfortable with for precision would be the burris with the inserts.

Hell, I have some of the bottom level vortex rings that are 20 buck a piece for my 22, im not 100% confident its its ability to hold up to abuse on something reasonably large but for my big ass 22 they work fine.

For your AR (presuming full picatinny up top) go with 1.4-1.5 in height so that you can get your eye behind the scope without distorting your face.

I also agree, so long as your scope has over 50 moa of travel a 20 moa canted base wont hurt.

http://www.vortexoptics.com/product...fp-riflescope-with-ebr-2c-moa-reticle/reticle this is what I have, I'm super green when it comes to these things. But i'm in the camp of buying something right once then buying a few different products to only find out that they don't work well

thank you for the help.

Yep, seekins on the low end and ARC rings are slowly replacing those.

My favorite direct mount scope rings for the Remington 700 are Hawkin's precision long-range hybrids



and Nightforce Direct Mount.



For all other actions I like DNZ Gamer Reaper direct mount.



My favorite picatinny rail mounted scope rings are Griffin Armament orion rings.
