Scope position in rings? spr-e

[rvb]

Hello, I'm a glass newb. I have a vortex 1-4 in a larue spr-e. I got the spr-e thinking it gave me the most flexibility in where to mount the glass. Since I settled on an A2 fixed stock, I opted to have the glass farther back, so the rings are rather far forward on the scope. Any issue/concern with having the weight of the rear of the scope so far from a ring? I'd like to leave the mount fwd on the rail to leave room for offset irons.

Should I swap for a non-"-e" ?

Picture attached.

Thanks!!!

Nah, that looks fine.

If you want to center the scope in the mount, you can always move the mount back on the upper. I think they look better centered but I think they shoot the same eather way.

If you would like to swap mounts. I have a Larue Spr 1.5 that i would trade for your Spr E. Mine is in very good condition.

Thanks

No it's fine. Per Larue you have full adjustability within the rings as long as you give about 1/8th inch between the edge of the ring and the adjustment knobs of the scope.

Here's my SPR-E, it's right at the edge of the 1/8th in. It doesn't matter which end of the scope mount you're at. I would imagine though that you'd get more vibration being further forward.
