scope QD extended mounts differences

[89LT1]

i have been reading up on all the different scope options and differences and what the additional money gets you in most cases: clearer glass, reliable adjustments... etc.

but what about in the mounts? i know i want a QD mount and one that is extended to get the eye relief. but what say would be the differences between the Burris P.E.P.R. QD ($90), American Defense Scout ($150), or the BOBRO precision ($250).

what does the extra $ usual give? i'm guessing repeatability when removed from the gun and then reattached? i don't plan on removing the optic very often. What would justify the additional cost?

Thanks for anyone that can shed a little light on this.

Reputation, nicer fit and finish, lighter weight, customer service.

Although it's nice, I can't say I'm a fan of Bobro. The fastening mechanism sticks out a little farther than I'd like. My first choice in that price range would be LaRue. Others will have different opinions on that I'm sure. But if I couldn't throw $200+ down on a scope mount, I wouldn't hesitate to buy ADM.

The Burris PEPR is nice, but it's heavy, and that "made in China" sticker is a problem for me. For the money, I think I would go with another option like Aero Precision.

ha ha ha i bet but what about them makes them $100 better than the others?

also does the BOBRO clear the FSB?

Honestly the PERP is pretty damn nice. It might be produced overseas?

FSB? You mean front sight post?
Why are you trying to clear it? I don't see how you would get over a fixed front sight or why.

you answered my questions with your picture. the BOBRO just looks real low i wanted to make sure that the cross hairs weren't going to be too low on the front sight post so that i couldn't use it. kind like if you don't use a riser on a red dot when you have the front site post.

i think i am looking more at the lighter mounts in the middle price range.
i am really liking the aero precision mount ($85):


or the American Defense AD-Scout ($150):


the question is: is the QD worth the price? i was planning to keep the MBUS on the rifle under the optic but if the mount doesn't have a QD and knowing the optic is going to have an etched reticle i would keep the BUIS off.

suggestions?

It's worth it if you ever plan on using your BUIS. The first couple/few times you have to dig out your tool kit to remove your scope, you'll be like "That's not so bad..." But by about the fourth or fifth time, you'll be like "Shoulda dropped the extra money on the qr mount..."
But if all you plan to do is shoot scoped off a bench, then it doesn't matter. I never missed my BUIS on my target gun.

If you have a 1-xx scope, just set your scope far forward enough that it allows you to flip your sights up(provided your scope features true 1x and long enough eye relief).

Just get the qd mount

I use to have a QD mount, but I never took it off, so I changed it for the AP in order to save some weight. The AP is way lighter than the Burris I had before.

+1 for the Bobro. I've used many mounts and the Bobro works best in my opinion. The ADM is what I'd use if I had a second choice. The problem with other mounts is that they are slower and have to be adjusted.

The Bobro is fast and easy to operate with one hand. It also self adjusts and is very solid.

Bobro mounts are great!

Im debating btw bobro and Larue
I'm a little intimidated or maybe being lazy since it seems that the installation for the bobro is a bit more involved compared to installation of the larue LT 104.
I know I would need 2 "bubble levels" one on the scope and one on the rifle to do the install but I don't think I need those for the larue given the vertical rings

The mount won't change that... You need to level the rifle in order to level the scope... Process is the same regardless of mount used.

And those are all the same height as the Bobro pictured.

I have both Bobro and Larue mounts and after owning the Bobro's for a while I think I am going to stick with Larue. The Bobro's are certainly nice but I can't get over how big and bulky they are at the rings and the base. It's like putting a Queen mattress on a twin box spring.

And contrary to popular belief, the Bobro mounts have worn off far more finish on my uppers than any of my Larues ever have.

I have the ADM. Mount and have been pretty happy with it. Quick detach, and holds zero pretty well.
