John P. Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I have a Supernova Tactical (with picatinny rail) that I'm probably going to sell, and getting an M4. Regardless ... I've been searching for a riser or see-through mount that would elevate my red dot sight while still allowing for the use of the ghost rings below. It's such a bummer that we can't co-witness, but this would seem to be an alternative. The only (hideous) example I've seen is this: Anyone aware of something more elegant? Quote
Hookster Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Hi John, I'm sure something could be found but I don't see a set up like that being very practical. I'd want to keep my red dot mounted as low as possible where you could still get some kind of cheek weld. The new Mesa Urbino will offer a riser model or you could get a strap-on type riser if you really want to go that route. I'd think with the speed of a dot sight you wouldn't really find any reason to use the irons. Good luck on your quest Hookster Quote
Unobtanium Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Buy a QD mount with a full cross-bolt system and keep it low, or buy the M4, get one of Kip's rails, and run a LaRue Low mount. It is retarded to have the sight that far above the bore. Quote

Unobtanium Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) correctional officer or shrink?? what do you do for work Uno? Stepdown ICU (RN, BSN). We are still required to use "theraputic communication" (at work) and I did contemplate psych, but the ability to transfer to another unit after a few years on a psych floor is...limited. (However, I was tempted to say that I am former USMC, and I hate all of you wannabe's and think that anyone who has lost a family member is a pathetic lying drunk. Maybe my sense of humor is why I ultimately decided psych wasn't for me? Edited June 6, 2010 by Unobtanium Quote
