Because of the fact I wear bifocas I have decided to put a scope on my newly acquired Springfield Saint AR. I have a extra scope I'm going to try, but I need higher rings or a mount with rings. I see the offset mounts, can someone advise me on the reason benefit for the offset is it for eye relief? Sorry I hope this is not a dumb question, just don't want to make a mistake.
The offset helps with eye relief, you can move the scope farther forward.
Thanks I thought that might be the reason but this is my first AR and very early on.
Make sure the offset scope mount is designed for the AR platform.
Because of the straight stock on an AR vs a dropped stock of a bolt gun, the scope needs to be mounted higher on the AR.
I just used some tall weaver mounts from walmart on my AR.
The only issue is you can't pull the charging handle with 2 fingers like most people do.
I turn the rifle left side up and use my thumb only and it works very well doing it like that.
This was my first AR and I was not used to any other way to pull the charging handle.
I now have a Nikon 3-9x40 on it. Works great.

I think you also need the higher mount because you can't shoulder the rifle and get your head down that low if you used a low mount.
Bolt rifles have the comb and butt plate set much lower than the AR
