Thank for the replies; I didn’t realize the SRO was a less rugged optic so I guess that makes the RMR the best choice. DFWSFO: I considered other optics on the factory pic rail but was concerned with the comments on this forum about the weakness of the pic rail given its sight groove. I also wanted access to the iron sights in case of a failure of the optic. Has the factory pic rail been an issue for you? Does your mount have a quick detach?

OK, the many great reviews here have convinced me to give the Scalarworks Sync mount a try on my M4. I’m not a big fan of a “busy” sight picture but so many positive comments here must mean that owners are happy. I notice that the Scalarworks is offered with the RMR or SRO optic. I’m not sure what the difference is between the two or what the Scalarworks mount will mean for the sight picture of either one. Any advice or suggestions?

Wow! I’m really surprised that there are so many proponents of the smaller sized red dots. I was ready to order the 6 mos size after reading on another forum “Jerry Miculek uses a vortex venom but with a custom 8moa dot on his pistol and his old 6moa rmr on his shotgun.” Now I’m not so sure which to get.

Looking at several red dot options and not sure which size red dot is most appropriate. I’m guessing my primary range for the M4 would be 50 yards or less. Is there a general rule or suggestions for appropriate size?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

If it’s inappropriate to resurrect an old thread I apologize but I had this same question and don’t see an answer here. Will the RM33 mount raise the Trijicon RMR high enough so that the ghost sights DO NOT co-witness ? I have trouble with the co-witness view being too busy and want my RMR mounted above the ghost ring sight-line but I’m thinking the RM34 mount might be higher than practical?
