What height mounting rings should I use to get this at or above a standard A2 site on an AR-15? I was looking at both a medium and high profile set.

For proper eye relief you should use one of offset mounts, like the Burris PEPR or Vortex mount; it will not be above the sight, but at magnification you won't see it.

IMO, you should use a 1 piece scope mount. Burris P.E.P.R. 30mm mount or similar. I use the Aero Precision ultra light extended mount. JoeBobOutfitters has it for 79.00. The Aero Precision website also offers them, and has frequent sales. Last week they had it for 59.00.With the big eye relief on this scope it generally needs to be mounted pretty far forward, and rings are not a good way to do it as the front ring will end up on the handguard. Check out one piece mounts! Primary Arms sells a cheap one if you are low on cash. I believe it is around 39.00. Hope this helps!Edit: meant to also say not sure any mount will clear a fixed A2 rear sight. IMO, you should use a 1 piece scope mount. Burris P.E.P.R. 30mm mount or similar.

I mounted it with the "CCOP MNT-1516 High Profile AR-ArmourTac Rifle Scope Mount Rings for Picatinny Rail, 30mm" If you're talking about fixed front and back iron sites this might be an issue. I have flip up iron sites and when flipped up they do block the scope.

I am not sure what height rings you would need but... I mounted my vortex on a Colt 6920 which has the mil-spec front sight post. When I purchased my Vortex, I also added the CCOP MNT High Profile scope mount. If you scroll down on the Vortec 1x4x24 scope page you will see that Amazon gives you the option of bundling the scope and mount. Again, this is what I did. The scope mount provides a rock solid one piece mount and holds the scope just high enough to clear the front sight post. In addition, when I bring the rifle up to shoot, the view from a comfortable cheek rest position looks dead center through the scope... the scope is at a very comfortable height.

I also have this on a savage 10, Remington 700 SPS and an AR10.the Millet low tactical rings work good for me. I got the medium first and they were quite tall.

honestly it all deppends on your optics size the larger the retical opening the tall the ring has to be so expect to have too make a couple returns to find out what you need. I would recomend going as low as posible, with the mount your allready going to have to put a build up on your stock to get correct sight picture. Just make sure you get the right ring type, wevers will not work on this rail.

I suggest a mid to high ring set with at least 2 top half ring screws. I own 4 of this type Bushnells and all mounted the same. You pick the ring maker but don't be fooled by cheap look alikes.

Yes, 1" rings, medium height. Works fine on my AR, I was getting good hits on my steel targets at 200 meters yesterday. It has HUGE eye relief, I measure about 5.5 to 6 inches. Way better than too little eye relief, but it could do with a little less. I'm going to switch rings to High mounts, and may get cantilevered rings to move the scope forward another 1/2" or so.

The Brass Stacker itself sits quite high. I had to add a cheek pad on top of the cheek rest build into my Boyd's stock. I'm not familiar with the shape of the scope you're using, but I would recommend getting the lowest rings that will give your scope clearance.

I would try medium rings if it still fits on the gun properly. That is what I use. I have had great luck with the scope.

I am using the stock rings that came with my Aim Sports 2-7X32 Dual III. The front of the scope rests on the rail if I set it too far back but they are sufficient and hold a zero well after about 90 rounds through my MN19/30.

If I could make a suggestion, I purchased mine for an AR10 and found I needed more height because of the bolt, so I also purchased a 1/2" rail extension and it worked great!

I have a standard height/low profile gas block paired with a YHM flattop upper receiver and the alignment is perfect. I don't think you have anything to worry about if you go with Troy or MI sight pairs: there're the best! I really like the HK sights, very accurate n my AR. I purchases a lower cost return and am very glad I saved 20 bucks!

Personally I got these mounts.AccuShot Picatinny/Weaver Medium Profile 2-piece 1-inch Rings They work well for me on my LR-308.

You need to specify that you need the high mount AR style. The one I purchased was the low mount which I used on my mini 14 but I have now moved it to my flat top AR.

Does anyone know if I need a 1" or a 1/2" riser to use this on a A2 AR-15 front sight? Thanks

Sorry, but you will be better off with the medium height rings. These will let you mount the 44mm scope obj. with ease and still be closer to the rail than you think.

Depends a lot on the height of the scope rings you use. Generally the medium riser is sufficient, assuming you have a standard rail on your rifle.

i just got some 1" high rings (redfield i think). packaging said it allows clearance for up to 50mm objective. good clearance on my 10/22 with 1" bull barrel

I mounted an LER scope that came with rings. I imagine that any rings that attach to a Picatinny rail will do. I never had an issue with scope height because the Archangel stock has an adjustable cheek rest. I also used a laser boresight before ever trying the rifle on the range. With a few adjustments on the range I was able to get around 1-2 MOA at 100 yards in less than 50 rounds.
