I was going to use rings but in order to mount my scope the front ring needed to move onto the free float handguard. I did not like that idea so I opted for the cantilever mount that inch or so made all the difference in eye relief and where i like my cheek on the stock. You might get by with it and I would try them if you got them first and see. In my case the cantilever mount was the way to go. As for the Gibbz upper I like it alot. took it to the range today (first time) and put about 100 rounds through it. got it sighted in at 100 yds. and getting .75 to 1 moa with factory Hornady ammo. Hopping that will come down as the barrel breaks in and will be doing some hand loads. I would like to see a consistant 1/2 moa out of this rig. I was using the Strilok app and messing around with some 375 yard shots. It will get there. Had some fun ringing some steel at 375 with no problem.
Keep The Change Wrote:I see you have a gibbz upper on there. I just got one and sent it to get Cerakoted. It fit onto the barrel nice and snug. How do you like the upper?
BTW, nice mount.
Is a one piece the most common mode of attaching for distance shooting? I'm only trying to get my target gun together and haven't given much thought to optics and mounts yet.
