    Much better under than on the scope I guess because its further forward. Cuts the glare out of the scope specially with a suppressor.

    Well there are a host of variants from the GM02 picatinny mount, the GM05 scope mount to the GM01 barrel mount - all depends on what you need/prefer.
    GM02 and GM05 are by far the most popular coupled with a pressure switch.
