While purchasing a Scope Mount, you must look for some Features – or you may say – Qualities.<\/p>\n

What to Consider When Buying a Rifle Scope?<\/h2>\n

Here are some points to consider when you buy\u00a0 Rifle Scope:<\/p>\n

1-Durability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The best mounts are those that you can rely on for repeated usage and can hold zero. Mounts usually do not come cheap and the user would always want to purchase product that lasts them for a long time all the while retaining the quality of its performance.<\/p>\n

Looking for Best\u00a0AR Scope Mounts to buy<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure that you buy from a renowned company which follows the standard manufacturing regulations. Look over the specifications to see the material used for construction and the price. Chances are that if it\u2019s priced too low, cheap materials would have been used. This would result in a faulty scope mount from the start. The wiser option would be to spend a bit more and get yourself a durable scope mount.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to mount a rifle scope on AR 15<\/a>!<\/p>\n

2-Construction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first thing you should consider is buying a mount scope that is appropriate for your AR. We\u2019ve discussed some of the best scope mounts in this article and it might just help you choose one for your AR.<\/p>\n

Even before deciding the size of the mount, check out what material it\u2019s made of. Aluminum is a premium material for the best one piece and more ar scope mounts. It\u2019s quite durable while also being light-weight.<\/p>\n

One piece scope mounts are preferred to separate pieces of a model because they are the most reliable and more durable.<\/p>\n

3-Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A mount scope should provide good eye relief. The distance from your eye to the start of the scope should be short enough for the exit pupil but long enough so that the eye is not injured during the recoiling motion of the gun on being fired.<\/p>\n

Secondly, the mount should be aligned with the bore of the gun on which it sits. This is for precision in aiming. It should also absorb a good amount of the recoiling force.<\/p>\n

A mount scope should place the optic at the right height over the gun so that there is enough room for the scope, which in turn should be positioned longitudinally for correct eye relief (learn how far should you keep a scope from your eye<\/a>).<\/p>\n

4-Value<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to AR mount scopes, you get what you pay for. Low value products are usually reinforced with cheap materials. The truth of the matter is that you will have to spend a considerable amount of money if you wish you buy a sturdy, reliable piece of scope mount.<\/p>\n

Even though there are some budget mount scopes out there which you can, most seasoned users still prefer high end one-piece mounts because of their customizability and long life.<\/p>\n

How does it fit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The scope rings on the scope base should be adjustable in a way that they fit according to the scope and not the other way around- i.e. the scope is not forced into fitting into the rings. This is cause undue pressure on the main tube of the scope which is not recommended.<\/p>\n

If the mount is tight enough that your scope fits uncomfortably then don\u2019t buy it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the scope should not be too loose as well as then it will lose its purpose. Check the heights and widths of the product you\u2019re considering before making a purchase to make sure it\u2019ll fit to the scope more optimally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
