Scope mount opinions

[suprathepeg]

So I baught a 18.5 shorty with dlask brake from Laz and Turf is making me a stock for it. Now I'm thinking about scoping the rifle and have a question. There are a few sidemounting options that have already been discussedat length.

What I'm considering is the ultimak scout rail with an burris intermediate eye relief scope. I've got a scout setup on a built mosin and I like it. What I'm wondering is how the ultimake will work for height with a stock like this:

The KAC mount is little too pricy for me so its eather the Ultimak mount or one of the other side mounters. What do you guys think?

I like the look of the stock. I think I'd want a cheek riser for use with a scope. Is there something made for those m4 (?) type stocks?

 

[suprathepeg]

yea there is.

I'm wondering how high the ultimak is though?

I used the scope mount by leatherwood optics. Much cheaper than the 300$ + ones, and solid as a rock. Way better than the B square ones or anything cheaper.

ultimac

I have an ultimac with an aimpoint micro - it coindexes with the iron sights using a G.I. fiberglass stock. The ultimac seems to be the lowest rail you can get for the M14.

It's as low as it gets. I have two. They are rock solid and extremely versatile.

So did you find that you needed any sort of cheek riser with the Ultimak?

cheek riser

I didnt need one with an aimpoint micro - if you use the lowest rings available for a long eye relief scope I dont think you will need one. If you use higher rings - go to home hardware and by some pipe wrap , cut a pleasing shape and contact cement it to your stock - $2 cheek riser.

That scope sure balances out that mag.Boy that long front would put some leverage on things if you dropped or fell on it.

Balance

Saves on targets - I use bullet holes as targets
24 power shows all the shakes - takes a long time to squeeze the trigger - worth it tho -

Oh Yeah - Forgot

Dont need a bi pod - the mag does it

 

[suprathepeg]

I don't quite understand the pipewrap thing?

You know that grey insulating foam for copper piping? You cut out a cheek riser shaped pad from that stuff and glue it to your stock, raising up the comb. Not rocket surgery or anything.
