Scope mount

Depends on if you use the leveling bubble or not. I picked up a PEPR mount for the BSO scope for the AR47 and never been happier!

I have just finally got around to mounting the scope for the first time. So I am not sure if I will really use the leveling bubble or not.
Playing around with it sitting in the bottom part of the rings it seems to have the proper amount of comb to it. It would be hard to tell without pulling the level off and actually mounting the scope, which I will probably do just to see.

I thought the level would be for cant lt to rt for shooting way out there. However I remember thinking about this when we did that competition in Taylorsville holding rifles at a 90 deg to hit targets remember. The only thing that mattered then was bullet drop not barrel cant it was 22lr and only 100yds too btw
If you are gonna be shooting way out there 300 plus yds I would say yes use the level and raise the scope up with high rings and put a new pad on the stock to fix the comb.

So sourcing the rings. Now I need some medium height rings. Anybody got a pair laying around?
I remember this day well. There was a major correction factor for shooting like that.
The scope was set at 100yds so the 25" drop just went lt so you had to aim rt side of target to make the hit. That was a good competition
Personally, I'd skip the level bubble to keep the scope mounted closer to the action. There are other level bubbles out there that you can use, if you have to have one. I don't use one and I regularly shoot out to 1,000yds +.
When you say "medium" height rings, exactly what height are you looking for? Every scope ring manufacturer has a different definition of "medium". For instance, Leupold Mk4 Medium rings have a saddle height of .249", but Talley Tactical Medium rings have a saddle height of .684".

This is what I am heavily leaning towards. If I did decide to go with a scope level they do make a low profile one.
MKMachining makes well priced level, and scope levers. I like levels. I don't use them for every shot, but it has helped me getting consistent when shooting positions other than prone. I prefer the MKM levels over the Vortex simply because the vortex levels are bulky.

Well I ended up pulling the level off and mounting the scope. I will probably end up getting a low profile mount level in the future, but for now I am pleased. Now to make some time and get with @cmshoot to make sure I did everything correctly and maybe learn me something.
I was going to say that I think I may have some cheap medium height rings in the tool box- cheap as in they came from wal-mart and were in a blister pack. Probably on clearance, because about 10 years ago I bought six or eight packages for really cheap.
Mostly used on .22's over the years.
