Chef Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 So the new AR10 is all set up. Couldn’t find a mount that worked with the huge belle on the viper and went with rings and Hight extenders. This should work for now. The eye box is great and I still have plenty of come up left in the scope.

Engraver99 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) It doesnt look like the scope bell clears the gun from the pic. You don't want the scope touching the gun. Good luck...nice looking rig. How heavy is it? Edited January 18, 2020 by Engraver99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gencountyzeek Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 They are not cheap but check out Larue scope mounts, id bet they have one that will work for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Seasons Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 curious why you chose a .308. I'm setup with my only rifle bigger than my .22 right now (.30-06) and looking to go the other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm setup with my only rifle bigger than my .22 right now (.30-06) and looking to go the other direction. Most of my coyote hunting is not for fur it’s more of a Eradication effort, I also participate in a few contests every year. Dead is dead at that point and the 308 should lead to less tracking and no wounded dogs. Also I kind of thought it might be fun to use as a deer gun out of some of my stands.

Rack Attack Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Does the viper you have have a 30 mm tube? If so, I may have a mount for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk makes sense. I'm in a similar boat I think and my thought was more about saving the shoulder and a little less flinch.

I always figured though that the .223 was more common in the military because of recoil. Ignorant topic for me, but makes me wonder why not the AR10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorant topic for me, but makes me wonder why not the AR10 For military purposes, weight is a consideration. I believe my m16a4 with acog, surefire, and pec14 or whatever its designation was...it weighed just under 10lbs i believe with a 30rd mag. Id carry around 300 rounds on me. Now think of that with 7.62. Its going to be significantly more. Plus there is the added recoil, when clearing houses and the real possibility of fast follow up shots needed the 5.56 is superior. However i will say, i would like to of had the option of carrying a rifle in 7.62. I was the designated marksman for my platoon, i would have liked the added ass behind the 7.62 for any potential long range engagement. But back on topic, great looking gun! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
