Here's my completed LR 308 build. Parts list:

I took it to the range today, a really nice one I found about 40 minutes north of here. I couldn't spend too much time adjusting the gas block, as that's considered a repair and they didn't want it happening on the line. I did adjust it a total of about three turns out, but it's still under-gassed. I'll have to keep going.
I put 40 rounds through it on the 100 yard range and by the time I was wrapping up the second magazine I was pulling approximately 1 MOA groups of three, I wasn't using a very scientific approach, I was just trying to get it close while I started breaking it in. So I was just picking specific spots on the target and popping three rounds at them. I feel like it's a really good start for accuracy.
Other than the under-gassing, I'm also getting really bad nicks in the extractor lip on my cases. They are pretty consistent, so I'm wondering if I might need to run an emery cloth over the extractor tooth to break in the edges. I wasn't sure so I thought I'd get your opinions.
Anyway, it turned a few heads on the range, especially amongst the AR-15 crowd. My sons, who were with me, really liked the big boom and the fireball that came with it. The shock of firing was impressive, it really let you know it wasn't just a .223. It was very visceral, you could feel it in the depths of your chest. I liked it. I think I'll go out next weekend, too.
Aero Ultralight is great, go with that. Currently [$68 on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IB1V65I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_F2DbBb86971NN).
What is it you want in a mount? Light weight? Picatinny rings? Low cost?
My safe bet is usually the Aero:

I've broken cheap mounts before. screws snap, they aren't in line, just bad all around. You don't want them to damage your optic, waste your time, or waste your ammo.
When I picked up an 'entry level' PEPR, I had already wasted $35 on a mount, $30 in gas, $50 in ammo, and 5 hours of my time from a UTG mount.
The waste and time alone would have paid for a much nicer mount than a PEPR, so in the end, I pissed away a lot of money on that poor first choice.
I still have the PEPR, and it is okay, but you have to pay attention to the torque on the screws holding it on because they will try to work loose over time.
My next mount was a 20 MOA ADM Recon mount ($160), which was QD. Not only has it been rock solid and has nice features, but you can feel in your hands how tough it is.
Aero makes a really nice mount for not too much money.

Not at this price. Since it is a solid scope, but a budget one nonetheless, I would assume folks would be looking for a decent mount. I would get something like this basic $25. Honestly, any of the ones on Amazon (from sellers like TMS) that have decent ratings and aren't rock bottom priced will probably do fine. Many of the decent ones all come from the same few overseas places.
As a slight step up I would look into Aero Precision Mounts.
And on the highest end I would look at Amercan Defense, but at that point the mount cost more than the scope.
I didn't even bother mentioning Larue, Bobro, and others because I don't think you (general you, not directed at the poster) would pair the Crossfire with one of these.
