[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 878845, member: 39801"] Got it. That changes everything. I am going to assume you have a flat-top model (not a permanent carry handle). If so, you already have a picatinny rail on the top of that platform, so you won't need bases. I would recommend going with "high" rings regardless of your type/brand choice, as they will typically give you the proper cheek weld on a flat-top AR. Make sure you get the right diameter for your scope (commonly 1" tube OR 30mm). You still have some choices.... You can go with a one-piece set up. I have no experience with these put maybe someone else can chime in. Some examples are: GG&G one piece. [url=http://www.gggaz.com/flt-scope-mount.html]SPR Rifle Scope Mount | FLT Scope Mount for Special Purpose Rifle Available in QD and Bolt-On[/url]. I have some other GG&G stuff and it is all well made. The QD cam system is great if you want to change between a scope and a dot site often, easily, or quickly.
