SA Saint Victor scope w/BUS mounting issue.

[Spud83672]

I just bought the SA Saint Victor in .308 Win. I was torn on putting an optic on it and finally decided to install a Team Warne 30mm cantilever scope mount and a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44mm FFP 30mm scope.

My issue now is that there is zero room under the scope to allow the SA Saint Victor rear BUS to remain on the back of the receiver rail.

I've tried a few different styles of 45 degree rail mounts with no luck.

Any help from you knowledgeable people would be greatly appreciated.

I went with a higher rise quick detach scope mount so the 45 degree offset mount would fit under the scope

I went with a higher rise quick detach so the 45 degree offset mount would fit inder the scope. Look for “ high rise” mounts that suit a budget .

Those are pretty cool!! But pretty pricey. I have the Springfield BUIS, but they don’t sit anywhere near as flat as these.

Yea they cost abit but are extremly compact & lightweight.

I use them on my latest-build primary ARs.

I have Magpul MBUS rear sights on an M&P 15T that don't get in the way of a Vortex Strike Eagle but are unusable with the scope on the rail.

And my M&P 15X came with a Troy rear sight that doesn't get in the way of my Sig Sauer Bravo 3 Battle Sight.

Thank you all for the replies! Could I just buy like a 1/4” high spacer rail to put between the upper receiver and scope mount? Or would that look stupid?

Either get a taller scope mount or those lo-pro sights.

Can’t see how 45° mounts won’t work...you may have to remove the scope first and put the 45’s on, but that should be plenty of room.
