RickeyT Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Im trying to decide on what rings I would need to mount a vortex hd 1-6 on a JP scr-11? I originally planed on getting the warne ramp mount. red to match my heat sink! ;> However a few people have said that you may not get enough eye relief distance depending on how you shoot.... I tried to look at other rings but not all of the mounts tell you how far forward the rings are so I cant really compare..... Should I get the scope first and then decide...? Any advise or opinions are welcome! Thank you rickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouse Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've shot larues, adm, wilson. Never had a problem with eye releif. That's just me. I'd take the risk and buy it. Returning it would be an option if it didn't work out. Would like to see pics when you have it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 You might take a look at the Talbot mounts while coming to a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 should I get a 2 or 3 in offset for the vortex 1-6 ? Also do the 3 in offset tend to bend easier ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If you want to try a Warne RAMP to see if it works send me a PM. I think a lot depends on you shooting style. If you put your nose on the charging handle it probably won't have enough eye relief. Most won't. If you shoot a bit more heads up it should be fine.

Mike21STI Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If you don't need the quick detach, the JP mount is great. I have it on my JP and am very happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I have a 3" ADM mount. 3" gives more flexibility. I can alway mount it closer. But a 2" extention can only go out so far. I'm a nose to charging handle shooter, the JP don't have enough offset for me http://www.americand...view/product/8/ Edited March 9, 2013 by Supermoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I actually prefer to not have a quick detach. I looked at the JP and liked what I saw. One more question. should I worry about how much rise the mount does or doesnt have? i have the (ARFX) ACE ARFX Skeleton Stock if that matters standard length I believe. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think im going to stay away from adm since all of their mounts have the quick detach latches on the same side as my side charging handle.... I Just feel that the two might interfere a little.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 supermoto have you ever had a problem with a 3in mount hanging on thing and bending? I dont know that i need the 3 in since i dont believe I hold my head that close to the handle but dont want to get a 2in mount and not have enough room either...

outerlimits Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Larue spr-e...buy once, cry once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I dont mind the price but prefer to not have a quick detach mount especially one that has the latch on the left side since my scr-11 has the side charging lever on the left side.

Supermoto Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I haven't had any issues with it hanging up or bending. I ran a Larue SPR-E before the ADM. I prefer the ADM as it is easier to switch to different rifles, no tools needed. But you can get a SPR-E without the QD, select the VFZ option and save $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsDriver Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Larue spr-e...buy once, cry once. Or buy it and see the quality of Mark's products and how well they work and never cry about the price. I have two of them. They are worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRider Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have a Larue with the VFZ (non throw lever type) on my JP. I am completely happy with it. It has reference marks that you can color in to visualy put it back in the same place if you remove it or just check to make sure it hasn't moved. Like was mentioned above, it is $50 cheaper than a throw lever model. Before this mount, I had a ARMS #19 with Leupold rings. I couldn't get eough eye relief and still use a cat tail on my scope, so I switched to the Larue. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 no way does this scope mount flex... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I have the Warne mount on my JP CTR-02 with a 1-4 IOR Valdada scope. I have no problem with eye relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Im really not sure which one is best. I like that warne comes with the 45 offset which saves money down the road. Larue SPR-E will allow plenty of eye relief. And I like Jp's mount because its doesnt have anything sticking out on the sides.... O choices.... May just have to get the scope in hand and find a local dealer to see what fits me best.... A local scope dealer said the Nightforce Ultralite Unimount would be a good choice as well. What do you think? Thank you for all the feed back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kz45 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Stick with the JP, I just went through this, you don't want anything on the charging side of the rifle, I tried LaRue and NF Unimount, the JP is the ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 thats kinda what im thinking. where did you get that throw lever from? Does the height of these mounts make a big difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBamBoo Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nothing wrong with the JP mounts. I have used them with 30mm and 34mm scopes. On small frame AR's and large frame as well as with a JP MOR-07 chassis bolt gun. Take care,Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
