Mounting a traditional style riflescope to an AR-15 is not exactly like mounting it onto the common bolt action rifle. A few special considerations need to be taken into account for this platform - all of which we’ll talk about right here. If you have any questions, let us know at 1-800-426-0048 Ext.5 or in the comments below with #AskVortex and your question might get answered right here.

Awesome! if you plan on shooting past 600 yards then go with the 20 MOA option. If you are going to be shooting 500 yards and in the 0 MOA mount should be just fine.

What cantilever mount 2" vs 3" mean? I have a Diamondback Tactical on the way I want to put on my Diamondback AR-10 but I'm not sure what mount. Budget says 3" but if 2" is better, then I will wait until I can afford that one. I am disabled with limited funds and I have to save for months just to have the extra $50. Thank you!

@VortexOpticsUSA 3 года назад

Those numbers refer to how far the optic is being offset. For that setup, I would recommend goin with a 2" offset.

@seangoodie1831 4 года назад

Any issue with scope placement by ejection port on an AR10? Too far back to steer clear of the ejection port covers my charging handle too much.

@rackpull772 2 года назад

Should I buy a 2 or 3 inch offset cantilever for a viper pst gen 2?

@VortexOpticsUSA 2 года назад

Hey Joe - that depends! The difference is how far the optic is being pushed forward in the mount - 2" or 3". Depending on where your cheek weld is and how far back you'd want your optic will determine whether or not a 2" or 3" offset will be better. Odds are the 2" offset would work just fine!

Hey Mackie - that's because that was a dealer exclusive optic and a short run. They will be a step down optically compared to the Diamondback line.

@horatiuscocles381 2 года назад

Will the ring mount you show here be high enough so I can see through scope with classic front sight on barrel?

@VortexOpticsUSA 2 года назад

It would depend on the magnification of your optic. If you have an LPVO that goes down to 1x you will most likely notice the front sight at the lowest power, but as you increase magnification you will zoom past it.

I just bought a new AR15 most cantilevers I’ve seen are 1” 30/40mm is that enough or not enough? I ordered front and rear sights tactical flip. Would it be enough to add a scope & high enough to view down range and zero without issues

@VortexOpticsUSA 4 года назад

If you're getting a riflescope to mount in a cantilever mount, you won't really be able to use any flip up iron sights with it. In order to actually use any iron sights, the mount and scope would need to be removed altogether. The measurements you are seeing "1", 30mm, 34mm, etc" are for the scope tube size. What scope are you going to be putting in the mount? Different scopes will have different tube sizes.

@DavidThompson-gl2no 3 года назад

OK, I'm confused. My CMMG AR15 variant is a few months out. I've ordered the Crossfire II with a 40mm objective. Never owned a AR15 style rifle, and the Army didn't put a scope on my M16 back in the day. How high do my rings need to be? And why do I want my scope offset? Does this mean it's not in line with the barrel? Would appreciate any thoughts.

@VortexOpticsUSA 3 года назад

Hey David - for an AR Platform you would want to go with a cantilever style mount as it will get you up to the appropriate height and offset the optic to where you can look through it comfortably. Offsets in this instance are referring to how far the optic is pushed forward. This is done to get the optic at an appropriate place for your eye relief while keeping it mounted above the receiver.

Will the mount you showed in the video raise the optic high enough to clear my barrel mounted A1 fixed front sight? I have a weaver grand slam 2-8x. Thx

@VortexOpticsUSA 4 года назад

It should yes - most one piece cantilever mounts will raise high enough to clear a front sight. Good rule of thumb is 1.4" or higher.

@frankiebryan5583 4 года назад

My ring mount is 1.456

@VortexOpticsUSA 4 года назад

If you have a 1.45" inch height that would work for getting you up high enough. However, rings will not offset the optic like a cantilever mount will which is generally required for an AR platform.
