If the whole scope is destroyed beyond the point of being any use, then you probably have bigger fish to fry besides taking it off and using your iron sights anyway. Any riflescope or prism scope with a physical reticle, whether illuminated or not, doesn't need this kind of backup, because if a battery dies, then you still have the reticle as a point of aim. It's important to note - some people really want to keep a set of backup irons on their gun, even though backup irons are solely developed to be a backup aiming device for red dots and holographic sights which, if their battery dies, have literally no point of aim at all. Cantilever mounts also raise the scope up high enough for a comfortable cheek weld with the stock directly in line with the receiver, and they push the scope forward far enough to get proper eye relief for the best optical quality and most forgiving eye box when shooting. One-piece cantilevers allow you to keep the whole mount back over the receiver, so none of it must mount to any portion of the handguard, which is often a separate piece and could present alignment issues if used with two-piece rings. Use a one-piece cantilever mount rather than a two-piece ring setup. AR-15 and similar flat top carbines with handguards over the barrel Only go high for clearance reasons - a scope that's mounted too high will also result in an uncomfortable and inconsistent cheek weld. Don't fall under the idea that the scope MUST be mega low to the barrel - the differences are moot performance-wise, and if you get it so low, you're always smashing your face into the stock just to see through the scope, you've put yourself at a disadvantage. Heck - skimp on scope if it means you can get a nicer set of rings.įor darn near any riflescope and traditional bolt gun setup, medium height rings will work just fine. On top, get a two-piece ring set in the absolute best quality you can afford. Traditional bolt gun (No handguard or other accessories covering the barrel)Ī one piece Picatinny rail, which we can almost guarantee you can find from our friends at EGW ( Evolution Gun Works) for a reasonable price for almost any gun, is the best base. There are a bazillion different kinds of guns out there, many of them tricked out to meet the owner’s exacting demands, so it's impossible to lay out what rings and bases are needed for every single setup, but we'll go over a few of the classics we see all the time.
