Anyone tried the Burris PEPR QD mount?

Some lower power scopes may still give an image or ghost of your front sight post, such as with a 2x7. I would test it to be sure. At a magnification of 3 or above the front sight post should disappear.

I have one on one of my AR’s and I love it. Would definitely suggest you get one, you will be pleased.

I see good reviews all over the place, but have a hard time trusting all of them. I have an AR and would like to add an optic, and would like the ability to switch over to irons quickly. So why don't I simply get a red dot and see that it has a co-witness? Because I want to add a 2x7 magnified scope. Also, the front sight post is A2 style. I'm wondering if this will interfere with my sight picture through the scope...? I don't know if it matters which gun, but I want to add this to a S&W M&P15 Sport 2. Removing the irons is not an option. I don't like rifles without irons.

Has anyone tried the Burris PEPR QD mount, and is it pretty solid/consistent? It is only $100, and with the mostly good reviews I'm wondering if it is a good option. If it works it is certainly a good value for $100. Yes, I know we get what we pay for, but sometimes there is a diamond in the rough. Any real use input will be appreciated.

I run the mount it is solid, as far as you seeing the front sight post at 2 power u will but once u max it to 7 it goes away.

Don't know yet but just bought one for $50..
I have come to like cantilever mounts.
I am optimistic that this one will perform is I hope.

Same one I bought several year ago. Works like a champ. Holds zero on and off.

If planning on truly switching it on and off, I'd spend the 65 extra bucks to get an ADM QD mount.

The Burris is one of the heavier QDs.

I agree on the post above about the ADM, and they will go on sale for 20% off sometimes at places like Primary Arms.
