wetncold Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Looks like I am going to need a riser for my scope. High rings are close but still not enough. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 GG&G, A.R.M.S., Precision Reflex all make nice risers. little pricy, but id look at them first. you could go cheap, but its the link connecting your optic to your gun.

blue109 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 if your rings aren't QD, precision reflex sells a QD riser that is pretty cool. think its called gator grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I use this guy because it has a 20 MOA cant to it to help set up for long range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) If High Ring is close , use an Extra High ring set, its what I have to use on all my AR's that have scopes . I like to keep rings or one piece mounts with as few fasteners as possible , a riser is just one more thing to possibly loosen up or be out of alignment. Some of the ring measurements by the manufacturers are sometimes hard to decipher . I use Burris or Warne Rings , the Burris Extreme Tactical are beasts , made to take a beating .

mrmackc Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I used the Burris extra high on my LR308 and it made the center of the scope almost 3 inches above the center of the muzzle. That seemed awfully tall but it feels comfortable and leaves room for fold down irons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetncold Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think I am going with a B-Square riser. It's not advertised as a see through and it attaches with small allen head screws instead of those knobs that are as big as a Buick hubcap. If anyone has had a bad (or any) experience with this riser please speak up. In the past B-Square has been pretty reputable. They have been around a long time and are still in business.

lasher Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 i like to have the scope as close to the barrel as possible, i use TruGlo and UTG 1/2" risers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Along with a set of low, medium, high, or extra high mounts consideration as to scope eye relief distance and cheek weld is what drove me to use the Burris tall mounts on the variable power Bushnell mildot scope. My 55 year old Weaver 1.5 power long eye relief scope,that has a verticle post and single crosshair retical, feels right with the original Weaver mounts that put the scope tube less than an inch above the rail. (No room for any BUIS). The Weaver scope and mounts were originally on one of my Springfield 3006 03A3 rifles with a bent bolt handle and a low safety handle. I used the rifle for daylight coyote calling back in the 1960s. I am considering using the old Weaver on the LR308 for hogs and coyotes in brush and mesquite.
