I'm looking to mount one of these on my RRA ATH Carbine. I was just wondering if anyone has done this before and how it worked out for them?

Bobro, Larue, or American defence machine all make a mount that will work for your rifle. I would suggest the Bobro extended SPR mount I have used all the others but Bobro is the best there is, zero shift after removal and instalation.
 
Thanks, but I have a Burris P.E.P.R mount already. I'm going to mount a small red dot on top later on.
 
I have a Viper 6.5-20X44 PA BDC on my RRA Varminter, do not have a bunch of time behind it but it is a great scope (although too much for a .223, but the price was right)
 
I have the Vortex Diamondabck 4-12x44 with BDC reticle. Absolutely love it....

The reticle matches my 75 gr BTHP handloads at 2700 fps from my 16" RRA to 500 yds perfectly. I think the reticle may have been changed now, but mine is as follows.

+ = Zero
dot 1 = 1.5 MOA
dot 2 = 4.5 MOA
dot 3 = 7.5 MOOA
dot 4 = 11 MOA

The turrets dial spot on as well to get me to 750, and the box test I did when I first got it was spot on. In all honesty though, I do not dial my turrets often on that scope, so I cannot speak to the hardiness of the mechanical parts. It mostly doesn't go past 500.

IMO, You cannot go wrong spending money on Vortex Optics. I have a bolt gun at the smith now, and when it gets home she will get a Vortex of some flavor.
 
I purchased the 2.5x10x44PST and mounted on my 6.5 Grendel. It's a great scope. I developed data out to 1000yds and have been shooting out to 600 yds with great accuracy.

I Have several Nightforce scopes and their awesome. I've given my Leupolds to my brother and friends. When I build the 6.5 I decide to try the Vortex after reading several reviews here on the forum. I'm glad I did. Great scope for the price.

I have been switching it back and forth between my AR and my Weatherby MkV 223. Lots of fun.

Viper 2.5x10x50 on the top and a Nikon 4.5-14 on the bottom rifle. Both with Burris Extreme Tactial mounts.

I have a viper 6.5-20x44 on my RRA Predator Pursuit and I love it. eye relief is kind of short on 20 power but other than that I have nothing to complain about. As stated in another post, money spend on vortex optics is money well spent.
