Should I B-Square?

Can anyone enlighten me if I should use seperate scope rings on a flat top Les Bear or go with something like a B-Square one piece with integral rings. Seems like the latter would be easier to mount and dismount.This is a first time thing for me so I have not much experience or preference to go on. All opinions accepted.

for not having any experience, you sure spent plenty of money[:D] what scope do you have in mind?

I know it's pricy, I told myself I would never do that, but couldn't pass up this great deal. I have a Nikon Monarch 5.5-16.5X40 with adjustable objective if that helps. Thanks

You will surely get several opinions on this. Either way you will get a sturdy mount for a .223 Rem. The one thing the B-Square integral mount will offer you that the individual mounts will not is better eye placement behind the scope. The reason is the integral base/rings allows the scope to be offset forward. Individual ring mounts do not. They are limited to the rail slots. I have found this to be the biggest advantage. I have Leupold Mark VI ring mounts, B-Square integral mounts, and ArmaLite Scope Mounts. I prefer the B-Square and ArmaLite over the extremely high prices Leupold mounts for the above reason (comfortable eye placement behind scope). What ever you do, do not mount the scope low on an AR as you would normally do on a bolt rifle, big mistake! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.[:o)]
