Dang It Dan Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 After reading almost everything here about optics (I think my brain is bleeding) I ordered a Burris XTR-14. I then ordered a LaRue SPR-E mount which I THINK had a number behind it (139). Does anyone know how high this mount will hold the scope off the top of a DPMS flat top? I was going to just order the 1" rings until someone some one said the LaRue mount would cook me breakfast on the weekends if I just forked over the additional bucks. Thanks in Advance.

Derek45 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 BURRIS XTR 1-4x is 30mm, not 1" LARUE is setup to fit flat top AR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang It Dan Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Derek, Yeah, I got that part and made sure I specified when I ordered. When I said 1" rings, I meant one inch high not diameter. Sorry about that. Do you happen to know how high the scope sits off the top of the rifle? Thanks.

uscbigdawg Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Somewhere around 2.25" to the centerline of the reticle to the center of bore. That's a guess though. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang It Dan Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks Rich, BUT, being from the South, sometimes I don't speak Anglish too good. What would you guess the heighth would be from the top of the receiver to the bottom of the scope? Just wanted to know if it's about an inch or so. Thanks.

blkbrd Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Looks like about 2.77" on the 30mm, center of bore to center of scope. Edited December 3, 2008 by blkbrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just measured my SPR-E, with 30mm rings, the top of the receiver to the bottom of the scope is about 0.9". Hope that helps, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug H. Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thank you very much Doug. I think that was the answer I was looking for.Dan It's a great mount, I put a brand new Meopta scope in a brand new SPR-E, mounted it on a Rock River 16" Carbine and it was off by less than 2" at 200 yards with no adjustment! Now thats a well made mount. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trail3 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have a DPMS High rise upper will that work with this scope and mount combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Larue says the center of the rings are 1.5" above the rail, which makes the center above bore about 2.6-2.7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
