Help me get my CMR to clear my Swiss Arms Rear Drum

[Steve Janes]

So someone just gave me a Hi Lux Optics CMR 14x24 Scope, and I want to put it on my Black Special. I already have a rail on the rifle.

Does anyone have any ideas of a relatively affordable (Not garbage, but on the cheaper side) QD mount that A)doesn't weigh to much, and B)Will be high enough for the CMR to clear the rear drum sight without any kind of a riser.

Thanks

Steve

This is probably one of the few options that will work. It's a little cheaper than one of the LaRue mounts. The ARMS 22H rings (which I really like) are a little too low. Another option would be one of the Burris AR P.E.P.R. mounts, which should be high enough.

Thank you this is exactly what I was after.

So, wolverine has the AR-P.E.P.R.™ Mount by burris for $130

Is $200 about as cheap as the AD-RECON-H Scope Mount comes?

 

[Ar180shooter]

Yah, it'll be around $200, but it would be my preference over the Burris. I've owned several other AD mounts (for Aimpoints) in the past and have been really happy with them. Although the advantage of the Burris is it will be a little lower than the AD mount (0.2"), but it will still be high enough to clear the diopter.

I use larue, the ad is great and I wouldn't hesitate to use it. They hold their value so don't worry about spending the money if you need to sell you will recover, and you get to use good kit in the mean time

Agreed. I run a LaRue ACOG base on my Swiss Arms, and I just picked up a LaRue Aimpoint Micro base for my AR. I've had ADM and A.R.M.S. mounts in the past, but I only have LaRue mounts now.
