1st, great choice of optic. Well done! 2nd, it’s pronounced “Lue-Pold”. Not “Leapold”. 3rd, the eye box was designed around the AR platform and the closed lens cap should be flush with the back of the charging handle. Not extending over or beyond the castle nut.
And spend a few extra bucks for that really expensive scope and get a cantilever Mount for proper eye relief instead of using scope rings on an AR like he has.
Don't mount your optic to your barrel? What is this? I seen this nonsense come across my screen a few times…. is this like an amateur trying to teach amateurs how to be an amateur?
If you've got a solid front rail, you shouldn't have any issues mounting your optics on it. Lasers get mounted on the rails all the time and maintain zero.
Where does your front sight go? Pretty sure it goes on the handguard. I have an offset dot mounted to that spot with over a thousand through the rifle. No issues.
The charging handle doesn’t really matter because if your chambering your first round its not a big deal to spend the extra time to rack the standard sized one.
If you’re on empty and need a reload after that just use the bolt-catch, it’s there so you don’t have to use the awkward charging handles on ARs
That looks to be a free floated hand guard, not a barrel and you can absolutely mount your optics that far forward if it gives you proper eye relief, that's why that section of pic rail is there.
Buys a bunch of cringe modded poverty pony’s and suddenly the guy thinks he’s an expert who can give advice. It’s a not a barrel bro that’s a hand guard.
I'd say that the best option for a flat top AR is a cantilever mount (facing forward cantilever mount), preferably a precision mount that costs substantially more than a sport mount. This specialized AR setup allows the scope to be set further forward, which is a good setting for suitable eyerelief and solid cheek weld, and a standard charging handle is usable.
The cantilever mount is different from the 2 ring tapered barrel bolt action rifle setup. If the scope is 20 MOA, get mounts that are marked 20 MOA (match them). It is best to mount the scope closest to the barrel as possible, without it touching the barrel. Follow the mounting instructions because the torque and mounting technique are crucial to getting a consistent shot group. Good Luck

That glass is way too big for that gun.
What scope rings are you using I have the same scope and want to mount it on my ar just not sure what height to get
Putting a $2k scope on an AR is crazy… The scope has twice the range the rounds do…
Number 4, don’t take advice from someone who calls a handguard a barrel.
How come you don’t follow Donald Trump on any of your social?
Handguard *
is that the 3.6-18? debating on getting that or the 2-10
unless you own an LMT…then mount it wherever you want 😉
It’s not Lee-a-pold. Cmooooooon now

Level 2 vest😂

Upgraded charging handle should be one of the first upgrades
You're optic is mounted too low
or just do what he does and get it sponsored by his fed handler
Dude keeps saying barrel… it’s called a hand guard and still the scope is way to close to it
Height of boar won't make your gun imprecise, we've all seen that video.
All obvious, boring
Can't take anyone seriously that doesn't know how to say Leupold. And that scope is way too low.
way too much scope for that gun
Ak better

anybody who needs this advice should not be touching guns
This whole channel is one big advertisement. And abolutly useless information from a clueless kid.
This guy has the worst taste in garbage rods, but Im pleased to see he at least got some proper guidance on optics.

That's why I go side charger
4. Realize that there are guns other than ARs which have side charging handles.

Get a 20moa mount and move that scope forward…
Or get a side charger👍
4 don't put your face too close to the optic to prevent a black eye
U need a 1.93 for that leupold. And this is the first video ive seen of yours woth solid info. Good job
Height of scope doesn’t matter.
What kind of upper receiver is that? Anyone know?
