[QUOTE="Thebear_78, post: 1229755, member: 1545"] AR stocks are on the short side, so a scope with decent eye relief has to be mounted far forward. Generally the rear of the scope will be even with the back of the pistol grip or slightly forward. The cantilever mounts not only allow you to get the scope out there far enough for longer reliefe it also is high enough to get a good check weld and comfortable head placement. Another side bonus is that if you get a good one they are repeatable so you can remove them and place back on and not lose zero. This can be handy when you want different optic for different situations. These two are my dads AR15s. As you can see there would be no way to mount these scopes far enough forward without a cantilever mount.
