Scope mount for AR15

[QuickDraw16]

I just bought a Windham Weaponry ar-15 in 7.62x39mm.
I have a Leupold vx2 2-7x33 that I want to mount on it. What kind of a mount should I buy?
I was thinking about a Leupold IMS or a Burris P.E.P.R.
Would either of these be suitable?

What kind of carry handle do you have?

 

[QuickDraw16]

None, it's a flat top. The hand guard doesnt have rails.

Windham Weaponry doesn't make a fixed carry handle upper.

Yet...apparently.

I have a WW15 and I use a Burris PEPR mount and its excellent. No problems at all. I do only use a 1-4x24 scope on it so maybe on a really Hubble like scope it may cause issues?

PS you will love the Windham.

PEPR mount works great IMO

I'm using a PEPR on one of my ARs. It's a pretty solid mount.

I'm using a WARNE skeleton, nice mount.

If you want quick release, ADM Recon (pick the height and cantilever distance you need) or Scout. Solid and reliable return to zero.

 

[b_w.]

Adm or vortex

If you want a really lightweight mount, look at the Aero precision mount .Its 3 ounces and worked really well on my XCR-L. Brownells has them listed for $90 or $100.

I also have an ADM Recon mount on another AR and if they are within your budget, that would be my preference over the PEPR. One thing to keep in mind is that if you use a brass catcher like the 3BUCC ones, the rail mount does not fit under the ADM Recon.

I use the Burris PEPR, I have 2, one with QD, one with-out.

Isn't the PEPR , like 3 lbs.....

+1 for the American Defense. Good quality and they look great as well!

lol!

Not even with an optic!

Burris specs say between 8.3-8.7 oz depending on config.....

+1 I've had a couple of the AD mounts, they are solid. And while you are using your AD, keep an eye on the EE for a Larue mount, because everyone needs a Larue mount!

I would recommend the Aero Ultralite mount. They are really low profile nothing to hang up on and solid.

I have an Aero mount and a PEPR mount. Unless you must have a QD mount go with the Aero mount.

yep, I had all 3, AdM was nice,PEPR was a anchor, Aero was nice. I if the QD is not a deciding factor ,you'll be quite happy with the Areo for half the cost as the ADM.
