Hey everyone, can someone enlighten me on why people run scope mounts over scope rings? Most mounts I found have been $100 for a low end while you can pick up good name brand rings for $40.
I just picked up an XCR-L and my only previous experience has been with an SKS and a Rem 870 so I’m kind of fish out of water with an AR style gun. For the XCR, I mounted Burris scope rings with a Bushnell 3-9x40 scope and the height of the scope is just perfect.
Here is the XCR-L 7.62x39 can’t wait to take it out!

I want to also try and shoot it with the stock folded haha.

Just to put my scope knowledge into context, I cannot tell the difference between a $200 scope and a $1,500 scope other than more knobs on the more expensive scope....
