Title: AR-15 rings
Post by: huntandjeep on July 12, 2011, 05:13:52 PM: I sold the carry handle upper from my Olympic arms ar, and bought a DPMS flattop. Going to Portland next week to take my daughter to the zoo & figured Id stop at Cabelas and get a scope and rings. I've decided on a Vortex Diamondback in 3x12x40 but I have no Idea which rings to use. Was thinking about the Burris P.E.P.R does anybody have these if not what are you all using. Also what height . Thanks Allen

with the flat top, the height will depend on the size of your head. Got a big noggin, probably highs.

I shoot my buddies's AR's and they are pretty unanimous with Warnes as well as i have used warnes on other rifles. made in oregon.

I ordered those when PEPR mounts were out of stock everywhere. Glad I did--the RRA unit looks more solidly made, and was even a bit less money.

One cool feature of the PEPR is the rail on top of the ring. I use mine for mounting a flashlight/spotlight.
