[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3849584, member: 41176"] You don't want to bridge your receiver and your handguard. That's not a good solution; the entire mount should be solely on the receiver. You'll want to get an SPR/Cantilever type mount as [USER=24429]@O4L[/USER] and Bigdawg suggested. He likes 1.93 and I like 1.5. Two flavors of apples. The receiver has plenty of real estate on it for a BUIS and a scope...even with standard rings/unimount, as long as your BUIS is sitting in the rearmost notch where it's supposed to be. Your mount is really short (height and length) and limited for any movement of your scope and receiver mounting. The cheap or not question will help you determine what to get. There isn't a lot of choice in the mid level space that is really any good IMO. You either get real cheap, which is usually chicom, or you get higher price that just goes up. I have specific requirements for me personally and professionally as to why I get certain mounts that probably don't matter to most folks. Below are three different optics in three different mounts, plus a magnifier setup all with four different BUIS. These are all 1.5" HOR and all clear the BUIS. 1.93" will give you another 7/16" height. 1.5" will give you the min height to clear your BUIS. Your setup should look something similar. The cheapest of the three would be the Leupold (Warne).
