What Position Is Better For A Red Dot On Your Rifle

What is the name of that Gun range??

45 requires more training to account for change in point of impact. It’s also a less stable platform being canted. Piggy back gives you the same aspect as running a red dot with a riser

Just put a piggyback red dot on my GPR’s 1-8 lpvo yesterday…we’ll see if the added weight is worth it

"Pretty sure there's a black joke in there somewhere," had me blowing my drink out ma nose! 😂😅

I’ve never seen canted Optics in any other format other than competition training, Air soft etc. Real Combat application you’ll NEVER see that. I’m an Old DAV and want to try a Red Dot sight and have an Aimpoint but positioning was an issue for my Eyes. The LPVO is great with back up Irons and only a Fool would rely solely on Batteries for self defense. Training is Paramount and great video guys, stay safe. S.F. 3/6

Love your thoughts and work.

Could there be issues with gas/dust hitting the red dot if its mounted near the ejection port?

If you’re shooting the red dot with both eyes open and the red dot is mounted at 45° on the right side that scope is interfering with your left eye and what’s going on to the left of your target. I’m probably going to go with a 1.53 mount and a Leopold 5HD 2-10 Lpvo FFP illuminated with a RMR at 12 o’clock. When I’m walking around looking for engagement and not ready to shoot, I’m looking over the rifle anyway, and the gun never has to move its tight connection at the butt stock to shoulder.

Does anyone know where he got the Killflash for the deltapoint on top of his lpvo?

8:04 FEET driven.

I prefer the 45 as well… its the cheeckweld for me.

That's the best use that I have ever seen for old tires. How did they stuff them inside each other?

12 o-clock is king for rapid target acquisition (chin weld for red dot on target, drop to cheek weld and target is in your FOV for the magnified optic). It's also fantastic for upright posture and doing passive IR aiming with nods.

I am a 45 cant guy. I dont like the 12:00 at all. I mean with training you can get use to anything I believe.

Also – we shouldnt forget – this is a secondary optic – not the primary.

My fav is a 508T on a AD 33° qd mount.

Omg that sideways meme section was lethal.

6 inches above the bore or you're faking it

1:42 hahaha 😆 That guy makes a good point regarding red dots on top. I've always felt it's more natural at a 45-degree angle because I can more quickly transition from my scope to the dot and I still have a cheek weld. But (and this suddenly sounds super obvious) in the vast majority of the situations, you will be transferring from the dot to the scope –and you can use a chin weld and you have better left and right situational awareness. I gotta give it a shot.
One downside you can't escape though: the massive height over bore. So if you're talking about using the dot for a hostage shot (like they practiced in this video), that would be VERY tricky at variable CQB ranges (especially if it is just a dot–and not a reticle–and you have nothing fixed to use as a holdover marker).

The red dot being closer to you alters the parallax. The further away you are the most precise it would be.

This likely will not matter MUCH but parallax is effected the most at closer distances. So if you put the red dot close you are basically making parallax worse for the range where it means the most…..further away is 100% better. Also better for FOV

How do you zero the red dot on top? The scope would be preferred for longer range and thus the red dot for CQB only, but that much height over bore would make it hard to zero for close range only. Do you still zero at 36 yds or farther and have hold for the offset on close range targets?

Not switching shoulders on conrners

For me I prefer a top mount but my brother prefers an angled mount.
It’s quite interesting cause for him the 45 is the most comfortable while I can’t do it whatsoever

Cant go prone really with an offset. 12' o clock for me

That pew pew hat is awesome

Doesn't having a red dot nullify the reason for having a LPVO? I mean keep the LPVO dialed down unless you need the magnification. And then it shouldn't take much time and effort to grab the throw lever and dial it down.

you put your red dot above where your bullet seats in the chamber. this is the correct answer. also on ak or any other platform is best. its hard on an ak because theree are not a lot of options to place it exactly there(very very few) side mounts, ultimak, attero all of them are wrong. should be right where your leaf sight is at

Directly over your magwel

Awesomeness 👌

Tried both. Prefer the 12 o’clock.

off set mount for a lefty?? thank you.

What mounts do you use for the for the top mount setup and which do you use for the 45 degree angle setup?

What's your opinion on red dot magnifiers? I'm trying to decided on how to set up a Springfield M1A and am stuck between a variable scope and red dot, or red dot with flip magnifier.

It really depends on personal preferences. Most of my buddies run their dots the way Colion does, 45 degrees on the right side, but that just doesn´t feel right to me. I got mine on top like Nic has it, I really like it and it gives me a more natural position, while my buddies don´t really get along with that.
Just try both ways and find out what´s best for you personally.

What about swapping the scope with the red dot and having the scope canted? The red dot is often used as a quick shots and fast follow up shots. Close quarters, etc. And the scopes are usually slower and require more steady hold. Sometimes on a rest. With them being swapped it seems like they can perform their respective jobs between

Bro, how are you? Please check out this video featuring a retired cop from Chicago, video from Peter Sentello. Pay attention to minute 15 where he starts talking about Lori Lightfoot, the former mayor of Chicago. The retired cop discusses her security team, which involves 115 officers for her protection, , Maybe you could consider interviewing the ex-cop, bro? I think this is an interesting story, and people need to be aware of Lori Lightfoot changing the rules to increase the number of cops for her security. At the same time, she does not believe that you, as a citizen, have the right to defend yourself. This situation highlights that politicians are not necessarily concerned about regular crime, such as someone getting robbed while going to a store or experiencing a home burglary. Instead, they are deeply concerned about people who disagree with their ideas and don't want them to be armed. I'm not saying it's not a valid concern, but the perspectives of politicians will always differ from those of regular citizens, and some of them are willing to sacrifice your rights for their own sense of security." Here is the link to the video

My red dot sits on top of my scope at the same distance as my pistols.

I’m happy to see recycled tires put to good use.😊

Why do some guys hold the forestock like it’s 5 feet long ?

THANK GOD FOR IRON SIGHTS

@ColionNoir I need to settle an argument with my girlfriend.
In your outro, do you say “guns are political” or “guns aren't political”?

Thanks in advance.

Hit it
