Should I get the 6 screw or 4 screw version of this mount for an AR15 w/ Bushnell PCL Throwdown scope?

I got 4 screw versions and they are WAY OVERKILL for whatever you're going to mount. Plus they give you a bit more flexibility when locating the rings on the scope. The quick release feature is GREAT, making removal and installation of your optics fast and easy. Scope has remained zeroed after 25-30 times of removal and re-installation. Hope this help.Dave

Depends on clearance and widith of mounting area. 4 screw is slightly narrower and gave me more room for my brass catcher attachment. Scope has 2.5 inch eye relief. Both are strong and lock up solid.

I purchased the 4-screw model, if i was shooting a higher grained bullet then maybe a stronger mount would be needed. But for a ar-15 the 4-screw is perfect.

I recommend the 4 screw. It gives you more room to adjust for eye relief. I used them for a vortex crossfire 2 and they worked well.

I bought the 4 screw mount. So far it has maintained zero. I shoot about once a month-200-300 rounds

Just eyeballed my old receiver rail mount which i dont use for the same reasons below,but if you were to use one I think you'd get away with it....just. I'd recommend the trigger mod as well....Google is your friend.Hope this helps.

I got replacements from Boltdepot.com Product number 3587 Machine screws, slotted oval head, 18-8, #6-32 x 1/2" The bolt heads stick up a bit but do not interfere with mounting the scope.

Any picatinny or weaver style rail system. It's the only mount available that holds my strion light solid, but over priced.

Charles, I purchased this for a 308 platform. Mount was bent. Went to Burris XD rings. It's a better choice.

It's a taller mount. It matches up perfect on a flat top AR. Probably too tall for a standard rifle.

I used Primary Arms Deluxe AR15 Scope Mount, 30mm, which I also ordered from AMAZON. It is a very good scope. I enjoy it. Have fun with yours,

To toque the screws buy a fat torgue screwdriver you can get that on Amazon , i think its about 65 lbs of torque, to keep mount scope from loosening. You may want to double check.

I will check when I get home at 6 tonight. I have it mounted to the picatinny rail under the handguard furthest forward to the muzzle. I will check and see if the enclosed screw mount with the bipod fits the predrilled hole in the picatinny rail. I personally like to use the picatinny mount its easier and less parts. The screw mount has to mount to the picatinny mount on the bipod then to your hand guard. The more parts means more to come loose and more weight

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

It comes complete with screws and it will work with the quick release mount. Unless your AK is already drilled, you will have to drill it yourself, that is not a big deal. No instructions comes with this and I mean none. Go on Youtube and you can watch a guy putting one on his AK. I got one for my son for Christmas and we installed it in about 30 minutes. Seems to be a really good, strong setup.

You should have no problem mounting whatever optics you choose, once the new rail has been installed

I bought both the M223 XR Mount and the 4-9 bdc 600 and installed them on my son-in-laws AR15.hey work great together. I also bought the P-22 and its respective mount and it also works great! All 4 were birthday presents for my son-in-law. We had a great day shooting both scopes in and we could not have been happier with the two combinations.

The picatinny rail is 6" long. This saddle mount is actually pretty good. The optic that comes with it didn't last long. Two trips out shooting and holding up nicely to recoil from 1oz slugs. It fell apart in my hand as I tried to adjust focus. As of now I have a higher quality red dot optic mounted in the saddle rail. Works great. Saddle rail covers your serial number, if that matters to you. Also the bottom corners of the saddle dig into your trigger finger. I used a bench grinder with a flap disc and shaved it down for a more ergonomic feel when my trigger hand rides high. All around, saddle rail system is pretty tough and works well. Easy to install.

Funny I actually use these mounts with a primary arms 4-14x44 scope on my 5.56 AR. They work great. Crazy value. I feel strongly that they would work well on a 308 win. There is ample rail gripping surface area on these mounts. The quick release crossbar is rounded so dont rest it against the rail before tightening or it could mar your rails. Center the crossbar between the rails, tighten correctly and you should be good to go.-G

I have a 45 degree angle mount on mine with a bushnell ar-red dot. And it works great did not notice it being any slimmer than a picattney rail because I took it of my ar-15 to put on my mp-5. Hope that helps

Recommend getting standard american screws and replacing the ones that come with scope and mounts
