  1. Default What scope or scope with base is high enough

    to see over a flat top receiver, comfortably?

    Low to medium heights work fine on a flat top. Depends to some degree on the size of your scope objective. I have a 3-9x50 on ARMS medium height rings over a .308 flat top. Check rest is fine, no pad needed for a riser.

    Those don't work good for me?

    They make scope mounts specifically for flat top ARs. I have a few different mounts from Burris, Nikon and Aero Precision. For conventional rings I like Warne Ultra High Rings.

    The is no " standard " for the terms Lo - Med - Hi . Each maker picks their own . I find about 22-25 mm from top of picatinny to bottom of tube comfortable . That's 37-40 MM to center of a 30mm tube . If you have a narrow face it may be a bit too tall . Padded cheek pieces may make this too low . 37 work good on a standard fixed / collapsible Ar15 . I put a 39 on my Barret M82A1 with an 1/8 - inch stick on cheek piece to protect from the Arizona sun on the metal cover that fits good .
