Burris is a reputable company known for producing quality products. This burris pepr mount holds zero well even when taking it on and off. It's sturdy and perfect for AR rifles. The price is reasonable compared to the high quality, and any other mount with similar performance would cost much more. Though it's heavy, it's worth it for the performance and function.

The burris pepr 30mm seems okay for the price. It fits well on the rifle as long as you have the right scope tube diameter and follow recommended torque values. However, I bought it knowing it's a budget product and the build quality reflects that. I've only taken it out once so I can't comment on its zero-holding properties yet. My main issue is with the 1913 pic rail ring tops - they are ineffective. The bottom rings are not a problem, but there are only 2 slots of usable rail space, so 3 different T1-style mounting bases I tried would not align correctly on any of the 4 mounting locations due to insufficient rail. As a result, the mount+dot becomes tilted 15 degrees to the left or right, making zeroing the dot pointless, except for the initial distance. Moving forward or backward changes the horizontal POI because the dot emitter is angled horizontally on the weapon.

First of all, the Burris PEPR 30mm is not my favorite AR 15 scope mount. I gave it five stars though for the following reasons. 1) It is well built. Six screws per ring and the screws are long and seem very well made. 2) I love how it has the tactical Picatinny ring cap but also includes the smooth tops. I went with smooth this time, so I have included a picture. 3) I consider this amount to be a "best buy" even though it is not the best out there. My favorite mounts cost 30-115% more. I think that the mount is built more for tactical use and designed more for tactical, low power scopes with an objective lens the same size as the tube. For scopes with a larger objective lens or large knobs, the space between the rings is a little bit too tight... But it works! I have seen some guys complain because they are "made in China." While not my preference, they do seem well made. I bought a couple of cheap Chinese mounts that look similar to mount on some .22 lr AR 15 rifles that I have. I had screws that stripped and the metallurgy was just not right. These, on the other hand, maybe Chinese, but they are very well made.

I use these for all of my AR15's. Some scopes don't need the extra eye relief, but most do, and you never know until you try to mount it. One thing for sure is that you need the extra mounting height that this mount requires, so it's a no brainer for me, you can buy the PEPR and mount virtually any scope on the market that will fit in the rings and not have to worry about it. I buy the 30mm mount and purchase the PRI 1" scope inserts to go with it so I can then use either a 1" or 30mm tube. I wish they would change to a two screw ring cap. The three screws are overkill and entirely tactical and unnecessary, in my opinion. The mounts do come with both Picatinny and smooth ring caps. Best bang for your buck in my mind.
