[QUOTE="jagsr71, post: 568097, member: 38709"] I'm going to answer my own question here since I've done extensive research in this area. It doesn't hurt to get a cantilevered scope mount (like a Larue LT-154 or LT-104) on this style of rifle. It all really depends on how good the eye relief is on your scope. The eye relief is excellent on my new Sightron SIII SS 6-24X50. Therefore it's not really necessary in my case. Also, because this scope also has wonderful windage elevation travel of 100, purchasing a scope base that has a built-in MOA cant for long range shooting is probably not necessary. However, if your AR-10 style rifle does need a base that has a certain amount of MOA cant, a few that will work really well are the AADMOUNT (w/ 22 MOA built-in) and the Larue LT-112 (w/ 20 MOA built-in) and the NF Unimount (20 MOA). The LT-154 is canted 10MOA and is also cantilevered. Last note here is that a tactical latch may be desirable for scopes that are mounted too far back or that are too low (to comfortably pull the charging handle). There many of different brands available. [/QUOTE]
