So the recent thread about offset dots and ACOGS made think about having an instant 1x option with my Razor 1-6x on my go to gun. I don't want the added expense or (weight)of a duty grade RDS, and since I believe in having BUIS on any serious use rifle anyways I am considering getting offset irons. I've never really liked the concept but I am seeing the utility of it, so I have some questions about usage before I spend money on them.
First question I have with the barrel rotated at a 45 degree angle does the trajectory change at all? With a 50 yard zero I can expect to about an inch and a half high at 100 yards right ( I understand that at 100 yards I should switch to magnification but just so I understand the whole effect in case of optics or mount breakage) and to be roughly on at 200 yards and 6 inches low at 300? Secondly which ones work best, I do have a set of regular Magpul Pros, I figure I could get a couple of offset mounts and just use those would this in fact work or is something more purpose build be necessary? I also like the looks of the GG&G Rapid transition sights because they look fast and effective any user input on these? Is there something else I should consider? How prone to snagging on stuff are offset sights? That's all the questions I can think of right now. Thanks for the responses. |
