    I am new to optics on AR 15 rifles. I do not understand the terminology used by members in this forum. Is there a website that explains the meanings?
    I am coming across terms when shopping for scopes that I can not decipher. Thanks.

    Lots of common terms, easily google-able but without knowing the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’, it’s all useless.

    Im primarily confused about choosing the mounts for a scope, and how to mount it. I'm sorry my question is so open ended.

    The ring size (30mm or 1”) will be determined by the tube on the scope. You will almost certainly end up with 30mm rings. Beyond that what else do you want to know?
