BigDave Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Santa brought me a Aimpoint ML2 for Xmas today to mount on top of my A2 flattop. This will be the only optic on the rifle will likely only see duty in 3-gun. From what I've searched, here are the contenders: - LaRue - A.R.M.S. M68 with #22 spacer - GG&G standard Aimpoint ring Which one, and why? I haven't decided if I'll co-witness the sight or not (but if someone would like to convince me, I'm all ears). The LaRue seems like a really tall mount, which worries me up close. The A.R.M.S. is a 2 piece mount if you want to co-witness, which concerns me with how solid it is. TIA and Happy Holidays!

Zak Smith Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 The Larue, ARMS with full spacer, GGG cantilever, and Knights Armament cantilever all put it at the same height (which happens to be "lower 1/3rd" co-witness). My best advice having used most of these is to get the Knights (KAC) cantiever if you want it another 2" forward, or use the Larue if straight-up mounting is fine.

BigDave Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 Zak - thanks for the reply. Why would I want to use a cantilever mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerSniper158 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 You can mount it out on the front of the reciever with the cantilever..it`s faster to pick up. It`s actually made for NODS, but I have found using it in the way I described it`s very fast. CS#158 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DblTap Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 It's fallen from favor, but I like the standard Aimpoint QRP "Railgrabber". The ARMS 22M68 is awesome too. You didn't mention your reciever brand, but the QRP will work even if the rail width is out of spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I used a aimpoint railgrabber W\Spacer on a SN4 for a couple of years and prefer this mount over the others.Ive taken it off and on without loss of zero ,which the other will also do but at extra cost.
