scope mount suggestions?

[suhkoi]

After much debating I think I've narrowed my scope down to the Mueller APT 30mm 4.5-14x 40mm. It is long on the mp 15 22 at ~14 inches but Ive heard nothing but good reviews and I am not much of a red dot fan. maybe down the road I'll get a compact Primary Arms but theres no mas x4

Now I was wondering what scope mounts are out there for this particular setup for relatively cheap? say under $50 or so..

Could anyone post their current APT/ APV setups? I cant find many pics and would like to see how it runs together.

There are bunches of mounts under $50 at Midway. I have a pair of Leaper extra high quick release on my 15-22 holding a 6-18 Bushnell that I have used for silhouette shooting on a Ruger 77/22. They were under $20.

The dumbest thing to me is people putting $100+ rings on a non-match .22. I mean the stuff from Larue Tactical is nice, but $180???

I got the QR because it lets me easily switch between the scope and the Barska Electro Sight or iron sights.

I have a utg type 1inch riser(so my scope will clear the magpul flip sights) and $10 weaver 1 inch medium rings (pn-49046) I got from Walmart . Im using a nikko stirling 3-9x40 scope I got from lgs for about $85. Thats about as cheap as it gets depending on the scope you choose. And it works very well for me.

A one piece mount designed for an AR is worth considering. They are designed to keep the mount on the receiver while providing enough eye relief. With a 15-22, I think that's better than having one ring on the receiver and the other on a flexing plastic handguard. Though, there may be little or no noticeable effect. The Burris PEPR is excellent for around $70. AR-P.E.P.R. 1-Piece Extended Scope Mount Picatinny-Style Integral 30mm Rings Flattop AR-15 Matte . Primary Arms sells less impressive ones ranging from $30-$60. https://www.primaryarms.com/category_s/1676.htm

Good point, however both rings for my installation are on the receiver. Of course, in CT I have to have a pinned stock so I don't have to worry about eye relief with the stock collapsed.

I looked at the PEPR pretty hard but was reading some issues of it not mounting straight ( QD version ) so that had me a bit worried. they do seem like a good mount though so how does it run with your setup?

Primary Arms sells some reasonable ones that will fit your application.

PEPR has worked perfectly on my rifles.

I'm not a fan of QD mounts, especially with budget mounts. If there is really a need for a QD mount then I would go with LaRue which is well beyond your project budget for this.

I have your scope and am using the Weaver SPR mount. I don't have pics ready, but here's the mount...and I'm perfectly happy with it. I originally looked at the PEPR, but I didn't want another set of rails on top of the scope. It has thumb-type nuts on the other side. Love the scope too...

Edit...it is a little more $$ than what you were looking for. I do have the rings for sale in the classified section here that I was using originally. If you're interested, they're great. I only switched to be able to have a QD mount. Here's what it looked like with them on:

Just got this "tutforce" 1 inch offset riser. Helps with less twisting of neck, and offset allows it to be closer to shooter less leaning forward. Also it's easier to get to charging handle.

I have the Burris AR-P.E.P.R. on every one of my scope equipped AR/M-4s including both the S&W 15-22 & CMMG dedicated 22 upper.

The Burris AR-P.E.P.R. is a great value for the money & so far everyone I have mounted has been extremely straight & tight mounting.

With the S&W 15-22 having a soft plastic top rail then using a one piece scope mount makes a lot of sense as it completely allows the scope to be mounted in a firm straight mounting & not relying on that soft upper rail to control ring alignment of separate ring mounts.
