Choosing the right AR15 mount

Nev'a mind... I got the LaRue 1.93 QD cantilever 34mm mount.

That's a good choice. Great mount for the money.

What do you think about your sight being up that high? I have an Aimpoint T2 on a Knights Armament riser right now and I was thinking about going a little bit higher.

Not sure if you're asking me that question. But... as of now all I have is the mount. Optics are supposed to be here today. Sadly I "thought" the LaRue AR15 was coming yesterday but t'was only the optics mount that showed up.

I chose the 1.93 mount after reading several reviews relative to mount height. My chances of shooting this set-up from the prone position seem to be mighty slim and is the leading reason why I went the the 1.93 vs the 1.4whatever it is.

That’s my thought also. I don’t have a front sight post to get in the way. And I don’t really care if they cowitness in anyway. If I’m using my flip up back up sights, I just want to be able to see them through the optic that doesn’t work anymore. I also have throw levers on all my optics so if it did fail I could just take it off and not worry about trying to look through a broken optic to see my back up sights.

Yup... the mount I got from LaRue is a QuickDisconnect type for that reason - if it fails.
