The mount that has some angle built into it, anyone use one? Kind of curious about the benefits of having that angle built in, or if would actually be a disadvantage if you had a scope with dials, and planned on shooting farther distances?
The way I see it, if it points your scope slightly downward you would be having to dial more correction. No?
Just curious,trying to help a friend with set up of his new upper.
 
I believe they make with no angle built in as well. Unless I was into 1,000 yard shooting, I can't see needing the angle built into the mount. As far as being a disadvantage, I can't see why other than perhaps having to set your adjustments at the lower end for closer range shooting.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies.
I just figured the MOA that was built in, (on the cantilever mount) was sloped downward to compensate for the height of the scope when mounted on an AR; not sure now after reading the linked article. I`ll have to investigate that Nikon mount a little more.
I think that friend of mine is going to end up taking my RRA mount for keeps, and also buying a Burris for his other upper...anyone ever feel guilty for passing on the `black rifle disease` ?

It has 20moa built into it to accomadate the nikon m-223 line of scopes with 600 yard bdc or 600 yard turrets so you dont run out of elevation adj.
