Match your optic and mount to the quality and price of your system. Your scope selection is a real great choice. I did not read what you selected for mounts. On that matter I feel that going with a name that has been around for many years makes sense, I have staid with Weaver rings for about 30 years. On an AR I simply got to the high mount. They give adequate clearance from the chh. All these AR "style" mounts are great but remember they are just a style and mainly for looks. Being machined from what ever one-person may foresee as a great idea to mount optics on from aluminum material and fastening it this way or that way to steady and lock your optic in place. Has already been invented so no sense in "re-inventing the wheel", just go with tried and true. All my opinion and as others you have read. I like your optic selection as I stated. I bought 2 and slapped on my AR10 and my Savage 308 bolt rifle...........good luck
The major flaw in your thinking is this. When you end up with one of those rings on the handguard and can't figure out why your groups are crap. That is the reason why AR style scope mounts were invented.
I tryed the regular scope mount rings and they have never worked for me, without first adding a cantilever pic rail to so I can put the front ring out over the handguard.
So instead of having even more screws that can loosen. I just use a good quality ar scope mount like the leupold mark ar mount.
