Coyote hunting.

a nice burris with target knobs. That's what I plan on using since I am not going to use it as a battle rifle or urban assault weapon. If that was the case, I would simply take it off and use a holo-sight. The burris is clear and accurate for about $100-$150 less than leupold. Might I suggest signature series in 4-16x or 6-24x.

A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.

CAPPER

Because your flat top 6700 has a Weaver type rail, you would think that mounting a scope would be easy. It is not.

A scope should be mounted so that its axis is about 1.4" above the top of the rail. If the scope is mounted lower, you will not be able to get your cheek low enough to look thru it. If the scope has a large objective, you will not be able to mount it much lower than 1.4" because the front of the scope will hit the top handguard.

Solutions:

1) Very high rings. Very expensive unless you buy cheap see_thru hunting rings.

2) Bushmaster MiniRisers YHM-226 $14.95ea. 2 needed, one for each ring. These raise standard rings 1/2"

3) Flat top riser, such as B-SQUARE 15100 $56.95 and standard rings.
Other companies make similar risers. DPMS $79.95

4) A high one piece mount, such as B-SQUARE 15100 $81.95 (has integral rings) The COLT mount is made by B_SQUARE. American Spirit Arms $89.95. Armalite and others.

5) A.R.M.S. #36 or #36 EX Swan sleeve. High quality riser.

6) GG&G Scout Rail. High quality riser. This is the one that I have. It extends 2" beyond the front of the receiver so that a large scope can be mounted far enough forward for safe eye relief.


I recommend that you take as much care in choosing the mounting system as you do in selecting the scope.

The ultimate is the DPMS hi-profile flat top upper receiver, that way you dont need a riser. Its as stable as the regular flat top only 1/2" higher! This is a pic I stole from another site, but shows what I'm talking about. I think you can buy them through Brownells for about $100

Armalite has a one piece that sells for about 90 bucks,,the front riser for the ring angle foreward giving you room to mount the scope a little farther foreward,,look very well built,,,have a 30mm one installed on one rifle and a 1 inch on order,,you can look at them on the Armalite website but I ordered from my local gun shop,,,

"No dear, this isn't a new gun,,I've had this one for quite a long time,,honest,,"

Once you get the riser problem fixed, go with a nice Leupold, Burris, or Nikon scope. You really won't regret spending the money for a top of the line scope, unless you waste your money on something from Springfield Armory....Go ahead and flame away....

It's actually pretty simple to do what you want.
Personal shop preferances are: 1. Not use a riser unless you want see thru for open sight usage. If so, the mounting fasteners, and they're alignment are most important.

I try to stay away from risers because they add alignment, and another potential 'fastener seam' weakness, when scope is bumped produces added leverage on lower fasteners, not to mention it can adversely affect elevation adjustments, which can degrade sight picture.

2. High to super high rings are generally capable of allowing most correct mounting og most appropriate scopes.
Just finished a Stoner in .308 with another Night Force 3.5-15X50mm.

3. On AR types, many shooters prefer a tight face/cheek fit. Even use their nose to touch the charging handle as a quick set point. Properly set up the, only reason to get 'scope eye', or nose cut is not holding it properly.
