[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 926960, member: 34084"] I use an HDMR with a Horus reticle on a 50 BMG rifle for ballistic tests. I use Seekins rings, but I use the supplied Torx wrench to tighten the screws. I always fire a couple of sighting rounds before tests, so I'm not too concerned with zero shifts. I'm not a big fan of over-engineered mounting solutions like the Larue one-piece mount. The HDMR is a pretty sturdy scope. You could go with almost any quick detach 34 mm rings, and be able to move it on and off the rail about as well. If you have a steel rail, you might be fine using a small wrench to hand tighten the screws on conventional rings. You might want to try that on one rifle before investing $550 in a pair of Larue mounts. As far as ring height goes, the 20 MOA rail will raise the eyebox about 1/16" or so. That's not much of a shift. To really optimize the ring height, I recommend that you use modeling clay to hold the scope on the rail while you check for cheek weld and scope clearance. [/QUOTE]
