I have a Bushnell 2.5-16x 6500 Elite Mildot that I use for Practical Rifle events locally out to 600y. Since my current LaRue LT-104 SPR mount is what the scope is mounted on, I was considering going with the LT137 for a Fast Fire I have. Would anyone recommmend NOT going with this mount in favor of the stand alone versions from LaRue (LT788) or TNVC (SAR3P) which would attach to the main tube of the scope for alternate mounting angles. Are there any pro's / con's to going with either ? I also have a JP 45 degree offset that is rail mountable. I like it, but I'm looking to keep the microdot attached to the precision scope as one unit as opposed to leaving it on the rifle.
The rifle in this case is a Noveske 5.56 in 18" stainless.... http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-j-point-dr-optics-fastfire-attachment-lt-137 LT137 http://www.laruetactical.com/burris-doctor-optic-and-trijicon-rmr-ring-mount LT788 http://www.tnvc.com/shop/sar3p-30mm/ SAR3P Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. J223... For what it's worth I have dabbled with these setups as I like the two sighting options. I have found that it is better to mount the dot on the rail/offset mount or towards the rear of the handguard, again offset to @ 1-2 o'clock. This way the sight-line is as close to the bore-line as possible (decreasing the variation in your holdovers, which can be surprisingly large the further away from the bore you get due to the increased angle of divergence). Also, and very important, if the dot is low on the gun you keep the same cheekweld and simply rotate the gun in your shoulder slightly. If you mount it up on the scope or even the top of the scope mount itself, like the Burris PEPR mount, you will find yourself making a noticeable shift in head position when going between the optic and the dot, losing your cheekweld in the process, and also slowing you down. Pinched from a recent, related thread, but this is my preference... |

....thanks for the reply. Yeah ~ kinda figured that was the downside to placing a MRDS on the scope / mount. Will probably stick with the JP 45 degree I have and call it a night.
OH BTW ~ I have to use a YHM mini riser to get my FastFire high enough when using the 45 degree offset. It works ~ but I'm curious if there's a better way to raise it up . Any suggestions ? |
