Videos tagged with Scope Mount Height

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.

This review of the Nightforce NX8 (FC-DMX) LPVO highlights its compact size, lightweight design, and daylight-bright illumination. While acknowledging potential compromises in glass clarity at the edges and a slightly tighter eyebox compared to premium competitors, the reviewer emphasizes its unique combination of features for its price point. The FC-DMX reticle is praised for its long-range capability, and the fast-action zoom lever is noted as a standout control.
