LaRue SPR or SPR-E for 3 gun?

[Tattoo]

Hey all,

Anyone have an option on a LaRue SPR or SPR-E for a 3 gun scope mount? I also wondered if anyone had ever used the

shims for a 30mm mount that allow you to use a 1" scope? I only have a Weaver 1" scope now, but may upgrade it

to a 30mm scope later. I don't want to have to spend $200 twice. Thanks.

I went with the SPR-E with the Burris XTR14. I read the recommendation here somewhere and took their advice.

Works for me...and the LaRue folks are super nice.

I have an accupoint TR21 and TR24 and both are mounted in the SPR-E mounts. With the eye relief on the TR21 the SPR-E is mandatory to give you some flexibity on where you want to mount the rifle with your cheek. LaRue recommends the standard SPR with the TR24 so I tried it. I sent the SPR back and traded it out for the SPR-E because I could mount the TR24 farther back in the mount and set it farther back on the top of the uppers rail. In the future I will only be buying the SPR-E. If toylike to have your nose touching the charging handle you will probably be better off with the extended mount.

The downside to the SPR-E is that it's slightly heavier. It also allows you to put the optic so far forward that the gun can start to feel front end heavy.

I use a Meopta and prefer an SPR but I know some who prefer SPR-E's.

As far as the rings go you can get 25 mm ( 1 inch), 30 mm, or 34 mm rings from Larue so no need to buy another full mount when you change; just buy as new set of rings. I dont remember the exact cost, but I believe it was under $50 including shipping.

Get the SPR-E it'll give you more flexibility to get the scope where you want it.

SPR-E seems to be the answer. Plus I did not notice that you can only order extra rings. Cool!

Thanks,

SPR-E.

You can always move it closer to you if you need to but you can't move it far enough away, with some optics, with the SPR. In other words, the "E" gives you more flexibility.

I decided to go with the LT - 123. My FB is a little higher and the 1/4" difference in height (lower) makes a big difference.

Add me to the list of happy with a SPR-E and Meopta. As blackstone says, "you can always move it closer if you have to."

I tried an SPR-E with the Meopta and ended switching to the SPR.

I ordered the SPR E and I am really happy with it! The flexibilty of positioning is great. Thanks again for the advise.

SPR or SPR-E, either way you cant go wrong. I prefer the E.

I just ordered a SPR for a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x and am probably going to exchange it for a SPR-E. I typically shoot NTCH and with the scope all the way forward in the SPR it is a little iffy in the eye relief department at 1.5 power.
