This guide details how to determine the correct minimum height for scope mounts and rings. The primary goal is to achieve a natural point of aim and proper interface with the rifle, not just to get the scope as low as possible or clear the barrel. Key factors include the optic's objective bell diameter, the rifle's rail system (continuous vs. elevated base), and the need for clearance, especially when using lens caps. For AR-15 platforms, cantilever mounts are often recommended to prevent bridging the handguard and receiver.
