I go with the 20 MOA mount as it's there if and when it may be needed.
In hunting for a mount I looked at Bobro, ADM and LaRue. They all seem to make really nice mounts, if a mount is what you're looking for vs rings. I narrowed down to ADM and LaRue because I ran into some reports of the Bobro coming lose and allowing shifts. This may not be the case anymore, but there was a video out there.
In the end I went with the LaRue LT745 20 MOA with the quick detach option. The LT745 allowed my choice of scope to be mounted in a location better for me. This is where I am a big fan of LaRue's product. This mount has worked well and I have removed the optics on my Grendel and Creedmoor several times and both have returned you zero without issue.
I did some looking before I bought my optic. I say optic because I used the same brand and model on both my rifles. I had owned a Vortex that was a nice scope. The reasons I sold it was SFP and a plex reticle. Having used a Vortex it the brand made my list of possibilities along with US Optics, Nightforce and Steiner. S&B was there, but prices in my range were a little higher.
I ended up getting Steiner 3-12x50 Military Tactical scopes that are mil/mil. They are built like tanks (the weight is reflective of it). The G2B reticle is a little more complicated than a standard mildot, but not overly busy. They have the big 34mm tube and an illuminated reticle. The illumination; to be honest, I haven't used much. The illumination has a lot of different brightness settings. The scopes have zero stops which are really nice and came from Steiner with stops preset for a 20 MOA.
I've been really happy with these scopes and Steiner will be near the top of my list for other rifle projects I have going. Anyone that has shot my rifles have really liked the optics.
