Offset red dot.

[Sisco]

Any one ever try setting up a 45 degree offset red dot? I have seen some pics of them in 3 gun matches. I currently have 45 degree of set BUIS. Dont really like it, as the front sight snags on everything. Thinking maybe a mini red dot might work better for back up. As I have two sizeable scopes on my 308 AR's. Any thoughts? And yes, I will follow the rule if necessary.

Used a few like that. Had my little armasite reflex on my 18" 308 and a PA reflex on a scoped AR. cool setup and very functional. Just sort of roll the gun in and it's right there. Probably faster to acquire than lining up irons. If funds were unlimited, I'd probably go with the RMR that doesn't use batteries so it's always on.

We put one on the .338lm to pair with the 5-25x glass on top. Makes for very fast sub-100 engagements. 

JP makes a nice offset iron set. Surely less likely to snag that normal irons.

I'm hoping to get a Leupold deltapoint-pro... if they ever hit the market.

Thanks guys, good input. Think I will try it with an el cheapo I have in the back of the safe. If it works I will pick up that Primary arms micro dot.

I use a Burris Fastfire III on my 308

I have a Leupold deltapoint in a Burkett offset mount on my AR-15.  It's good for the quick, close range stuff.

Going with an offset on my AR10 rifle. The AR10T carbine has a Burris one piece scope mount with rails on the rings, so I will put a mini dot like the fast fire up there. Will post pics in a couple of days. Thanks again guys. Part of the problem is I am a lefty and my son is right handed, so I have to chose which one to set it up for.

I've got an offset fast fire I want to put on my ar15 just never sighted it in. I've got glass on it for 100-400yards I'd like the fast fire for >100 yards

Here ya go Sisco! Get one of these and put one on each side. Problem solved!

That would work, but I might end up like this guy if I had to choose between three optics. I decided I am going to set it up for my son. Because of a lens deformity I have to adjust the scope differently than he does, so I leave it for him to shoot most the time.

that is what I am thinking. Plan to sitght it in for 75 yards.

Wouldn't  the 75 and 100 yd zeros be pretty much on top of each other? I had mine zerod at 50 on the 5.56 gun.

I had one of those Warne mounts. Very cool little mount and worked well. My PA reflex was a little low and the scope I was using had big target knobs, to the win knob interfered a little with the window, but not enough to obscure the target.

I'll mount mine and take some pictures when I get home I should try sighting it in next week

You might be right, But then I might extend my scope zero out to 200 yards. At 100, I find the red dot (or in this case, green dot) pretty accurate. I will have to play around with it a bit

[Sisco]

This is the setup for my AR10T carbine. Have to get another sight for the rifle before I can post.

Fast fire III on MWI 45* mount, I like how it feels good now I just gotta shoot it

That is exactly how I am going to set up my Standard AR10B rifle.

By the way you should have a good bead on that crock pot or rice cooker, or whatever it is at the end of the counter.

I found I liked the reflex mounted up on the float tube by the end of the receiver.

why's that blue?

Just seemed easier to align everything with the longer eye relief. Just roll the gun and it was right there. No hunting around for the dot like I sometimes would have to do with it at the rear of the rail. That RDS was cowitness  height, so a sight with a short base like a FF might not work without a riser.

I'll play with it I can pick it up pretty quick where it's at (there is about a 1/2 thick block to mount it to the 45* tho if that's what you mean by riser.) one thing I like about it there is it seems alittle protected I'll play with it tho ? maybe I'll try putting it on the front side the scope instead the rear see how I like it there

[Sisco]

I have a gas block adapter, so if I want I could mount it up there as well. Now you got me thinking Blue, and that is a dangerous thing.

[blue109]

Worth a shot at least. Doesn't hurt to look. Here's the same gun with my PA reflex. It worked, but I didn't like it as much. It sat a little low and I had to adjust my cheek position. The other one was perfect and didn't require me to move my head at all. My phone is being slow so sorry if this posts 5 times lol

[shepp]

Moved it to the front side of the scope mount it does seem easier to pick up thanks blue!

This topic has turned out to be a good excuse for some gun porn. Always nice to look at.
