oddjob Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Santa came through with a TA 11. Which mount is favored for a flat top open class AR-15?? I may put on a Jpoint at a later time too if that make a difference. Tried the search, but couldn't find an answer to the mount question. thanks.......ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outerlimits Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 ron, u lucky dog...send santa my way! larue lt100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get2now Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 What's the advantage of the LaRue mount over the Trijicon? The L100 still requires a mount for the scope though. Is it better because it's a quick on quick off? Just curious. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 well gary, if it were me (and no, santa hasn't showed up in rancho murieta yet), i'd have a gunsmith machine the upper rail to directly mount the ta-11 to it...no need for the mount. that way it's as low as it can go. jp & mstn do that.

Gary I havent got a ta 11 but do have a ta01 and a ta31 I tied the trijicon mount and its ok, I put the ta31 on an arms mount and like it much more. If the larue mount for the ta11 is half as good as the mount they make for the tr21r it will be the best. I cant say enough good things about larue. They respond quickly and hold zero with taking the mount on and off. It is more money but it is money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the Arms #10 channel mount from SWFA and the bottom of the scope when mounted in it is only a quarter inch off the top of the Picatinny rail. So the only thing making the scope high is the witness hole that's part of the scope anyway. This ACOG is new to me also, so I'm still learning.

Brian Payne Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I just used the Trijicon mount. The TA-11 stays on the weapon all the time anyway. The height is perfect for my face on my rifle stock. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I dont know whats wrong with the stock mount? I have removed and reinstalled mine several times and as long as the screws are tightened correctly, it does not loose zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I have mine on a ARMS mount. I take it off everytime I clean it and it always stays on ZERO. As for the JPoint mount I made my own with a metal hood so I wouldn't get bumped out of zero any more. Its a bit different being on its side but its at the same height as the AGOG so you don't have to lift your head just cant the rifle a bit and its there. Its not pretty but its rugged and works.

Cool setup Todd, exactly what I was thinking after putting this together. Haven't tried it in a match yet, but when practicing I normally have to search for the dot on the Docter when I lift my head.

I was going to use the JP mount and rotate it to the side but the folks at JP said it won't go because to scope is too fat on that side. That would ahve been the cleanest set-up.

davidwiz Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've been using the ACOG mount for at least 3 years now. Never had a problem with it. With the other mounts, I'm not sure that you can use the Progressive Machine & Tool occluded scope cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 On the receiver mounted option, patience will yield a source to have standard receivers available with this mod. That said, I use the standard Trijicon mount, but will be switching to an ARMS or LaRue mount to switch optics. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
