What is the best scope mount height for an AR-15?

The standard mount height for an AR-15 is 1.5 inches from the rail to the optic centerline. This provides optimal cheek weld and co-witness capability with iron sights.

Should I choose a cantilever or straight scope mount for my AR-15?

Cantilever mounts are ideal for scopes that require extended eye relief, such as LPVOs. Straight mounts are better suited for red dots and compact optics where eye relief is less of an issue.

Are quick detach (QD) mounts reliable for AR-15 optics?

Yes, high-quality QD mounts maintain zero when removed and reattached. They are perfect for shooters who need to quickly switch optics or share gear between platforms.

What scope tube sizes do AR-15 mounts support?

AR-15 scope mounts commonly support 1-inch, 30mm, 34mm, and 35mm tubes. It's important to match your mount size exactly to your optic’s tube diameter.

🔧 What to Consider When Choosing a Scope Mount

1. Mount Type
Cantilever mounts push your optic forward, ideal for LPVOs and scopes that require longer eye relief. Straight mounts work well with red dots and compact optics.

2. Attachment Method
Quick detach (QD) mounts allow tool-free removal while maintaining zero. Fixed mounts provide maximum rigidity for precision builds.

3. Tube Diameter
Match your mount to your optic: common sizes include 1", 30mm, 34mm, and 35mm. Most LPVOs and tactical scopes fall into the 30mm or 34mm range.

4. Mount Height
Standard AR-15 scope centerline height is 1.5 inches — perfect for a natural cheek weld and co-witnessed sights.
