| I have been searching for hours now and am no closer to finding this mount I am thinking of, can someone please help me out? The mount isn't a traditional red dot attached to the scope type set up, were you have to move your head up or cant the gun to use the red dot as another sight. Instead the red dot is suspended off of the scope and you look through it with your off eye when your dominate eye is looking through the scope. So if you close your scope eye you look through the red dot and the other way around, all with out adjusting your cheek wield.It is used so that you settle into the scope, then, with both eyes open you find your target with the 1x red dot and when you get it pointed at your target the scope is aligned. That way you can find your target faster than if you were searching for it at 16x. The product itself doesn't mount your scope to the rifle but the red dot to your scope, that is why I call it a scope mount. Does anyone know what this is called? it has been driving me crazy trying to find it, I saw it in a video. Thank you very much. |
| I could have mounted my Burris FF3(Burris mount) in the 9 O'clock position in front of the parallax knob. But to use my left eye with the gun stocked to the right wouldn't put the left eye behind the red dot. You would need a mount that sticks out 3" from the gun to line up with the left eye. |

That is actually how it works and what I am trying to remember. The designer was a retired Jewish soldier who made it so that you could find the target in your scope quickly by lining up the red dot then closing your left eye. I remember that it was a press conference/shot show type thing, (where a guy in a suit explains his new product) and a video was shown of a bad guy moving a hostage through the woods and he was talking about how it would give more time to decide shoot/no shoot. It is really bugging me. |
| It is not about if it is a good idea but after searching for that long about something that looked like it made sense, (well for getting on target at a controlled range anyway), I really need to find it again because not knowing what it is is really, really annoying me. |
