Mount a 1” 42MM Obj. On Flat Top?

[Troutslayer2]

I want to stick an older Leupold 4.5-14 X 42MM on my AR. Now if the scope was going to stay on the rifle, or if the scope was 30MM- no problem I'd just buy a Larue mount. I don't want to buy a super-expensive mounting system that leaves me stuck at 1". Is there a good mounting system out there that will let me play around with this scope/AR and not break the bank?

I don't know what your definition of break the bank is, but I recently picked up a Warne XSKEL mount and I have been really pleased with it. One piece construction and available in a variety of colors to match any setup if you're into that.
I payed $90 bucks for mine at a local gun shop. Mine is the generation 2 so I'm sure with a little looking you could find a first generation a little cheaper. Not dirt cheap, but certainly cheaper than a Larue.

Burris PEPR and a Weaver 20moa rail or maybe the UTG 20MOA rail to get the proper height. I've used the Burris and Weaver combo they are very good just found the UTG ordered one to play with tonight will see might be good might be junk idk.

actually a cheap spacer rail is what you need and regular rings.
they come in 1/2,5/8 , .8
do some internet shoping for a
riser

I have a 1" Aero precision mount that is light, seems solid, and was not very expensive. (For almost exactly the scenario you described) I would recommend it for that for sure. The only thing I can find as a weakness is that it's not qd (but unless there's a unicorn out there I don't know about you get to pick two of these three: reliable, cheap, and qd); and it doesn't have the ability as some do to put a rail section ring on to mount a mini reflex on top for close range stuff if that's a concern.
