Burris PEPER 1" with 30mm inserts? - MF'nLeadFarmer - 01-06-2012

I'm mounting this optic with Burris PEPR QD. I was thinking about buying the 1" version and running some LaRue 30mm inserts. The reason I want to is that I could potentially mount a 1" scope if I change my mind or find something else. I figure buying one mount and the inserts I could potentially run 2 different diameters. Thoughts?
That being said, the inserts will cost half as much as another Burris PEPR.

Do I understand you to mean that you want to use a 30mm scope in a 1" mount? If so, then that won't work as 30mm is larger than 1 inch. You can only use 1 inch inserts in a 30mm mount.

Yes thank you. I got my numbers backwards. Any advice or experience?

Well, I'd just get the 30mm mount and scope if those are the ones you want to use. I doubt you'll need the 1" inserts, but getting them wouldn't hurt anything if you decided to ditch the scope and needed a mount for a 1 inch scope down the road. Of course--- I'm sure you could always just buy the 1 inch inserts later at the same time as you theoretically bought the 1 inch scope...
The main reason people usually buy 1 inch inserts for a 30mm mount is because they only have a 1 inch scope at the time of the mount purchase, and anticipate moving up to a better 30mm scope when funds will allow it later.

I mounted a burris 1" scope with the 30MM PEPR with the EGW 1 inch inserts and it worked find.
One thing you should know is that the PEPR rings are wider than Larue, so if you use the inserts you will have a little bit of a gap.
I ordered everything from http://www.joeboboutfitters.com, free shipping on everything over $90.

Look at the review for botach under grendel discussion. Not very good.

MF'nLeadFarmer Wrote:http://m.botachtactical.com/buarmo.htmlCheck the thread Costa listed. I stated that thread. It took 2 months to get the mount from botach.i really never thought it would come. You can't reach their customer service; you have to leave a message. When I did get a call back, they suggested I just cancel the order. Nice! The savings isn't worth the time or frustration. Buy from midway.

Thanks for the advice. I orderd some parts from them before and had the same experience. I thought it was an isolated incident. They did the same thing where they just told me to cancel my order. Thanks for the heads up.
