    I have a DPMS LR-308 with a sightron SIII in a Larue one piece mount on a Badger 22 MOA riser. The problem I am having is I have a Nightforce angle indicator and a US optics anti tilt. I can't figure out a way to mount them both and still have the correct eye relief. I was wondering if anyone else is using the same setup or close to it. If anyone could show some pics that would be great! Thanks.

    it gets mounted right next to the retractable wind flag mount, and opposite of the wind meter.

    however if you shift it all forward , then there is room for the solar reflector panel and tactical cappuccino retainer.

    its all pretty simple really........................

    I don't know about you but where I shoot I am shooting one canyon to the next. The degree indicator is used by thousands of people so say it how you wish but in the end of the day its a hit or miss.
    The mountains here have so much slope to them that it makes it nice not guessing at a 800 yard shot that should have been reduced to 600 to make the hit. So yes I do use and need all of them on this setup. I figured out the best system for me yesterday. And if you wanted to cut some weight on you rifle you might want to get the expresso before the shoot.

    I measure angled shots using a Mildot Master with a piece of string and a weight. It's a lot cheaper than those high-dollar angle indicators, one works for every rifle I own, and the kicker is that it's more accurate.

    Since you already bought it, though, good luck getting it mounted.

    And if you're thinking that you can just multiply the actual range to the target by the cosine of the angle, and then use the dope for that range to hit the target, you might want to read the article linked below, because at 800 yards at any significant angle, it won't work.
