[QUOTE="jagsr71, post: 568596, member: 38709"] This was my original question on my first post. Yes. You are absolutely correct. What I was referring to was forward cant. Some of the scope bases I mentioned also have a built-in forward cant in order to allow more MOA travel in your scope for longer distance shots. Such as this base below from Badger Ordnance: [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/562717/badger-ordnance-1-piece-maximized-picatinny-style-20-moa-elevated-scope-base-remington-700-short-action"]1-Piece Maximized Picatinny-Style 20 MOA Elevated Scope Base Remington 700 Short Action[/URL] Aside from the term forward cant, I have also witnessed other terms such as forward slope or taper. In all honesty. I probably shouldn't have used the term "cant" since it's open to interpretation (although I had specifically mentioned MOA cant). What I should have specified is "forward cant." Thank you for your response and your detailed description of the different dimensions between the AR-15 and AR-10. Your explanation about the scope having about 1/2" more eye relief and that the vertical spacing from the AR-15 bore center line to the Picatinny rail top face is a little smaller than on an DPMS LR really makes absolutely perfect sense.
