Scalarworks and RMR

[SHARP1983]

Switching to a optic on my M4 and ordered a Scalarworks Sync and a type 2 RMR. Is a sealing plate needed between the two? If so who do you all recommend for the plate?

[Unobtanium]

It is not. 

[CobraBG]

What you ordered is all you need. I have the same set up.

How is the cheekweld when using the rmr with the scalarworks mount

Depends on the stock.

On my straight field stock it's perfect, haven't tried a PG stock or collapsible yet.

I would like to know the best of the affordable red dot options available.  Having never used one it’s hard to justify the 700 for the T2 if I don’t know that I like it.

Vortex are always highly rated and not terribly pricey. Much as I hate to say it, reviews on Amazon are usually pretty helpful.

I happened to have 150 gift card balance collecting dust on Amazon.  Looks like I’m trying out a crossfire.

Eotech is coming out with a new red dot that' similar to the trijicon rmr which looks  very interesting and is around 400$ .

Unfortunately it has a DPP footprint so it won't mount on the RMR Sync 01

Maybe Sync will come out with a third option for a Sync 3 , the EOtech still looks interesting , I want to keep buying American red dots.

For those of you that like the Mesa tactical shell carrier. Mesa Tactical will be coming out with the same design but with the ability to install a RMR. I guess it should be hitting the shelves Within the next couple weeks.

Perfect IMO, I thought is was going to be too low but it's not.

I have the Vortex Venom mounted on the stock rail. It works well. I just wish it were motion activated.

Happy with the crossfire and the stock in the middle position.  Excellent fit.  Not sure if my sight moved or if 25 feet of difference caused me to have to move adjust it.  Perhaps this is the difference between expensive and not so expensive?

Do you mean the crossfire optic isnt holding a zero?

Was only my second time using it but I definitely had to raise it up about two inches this time yes.

That is a common trend with cheap optics, yes.  My go to optic brands are trijicon and nightforce.  Both are durable as heck, and marine proof like the benelli m4.  I can take a trijicon optic off and on repeatedly and it will still hold a true zero.  I can bash someones head in with a trijicon optic and itll hold a zero and still function.  I dont like cheap parts on my tools that i need to rely on survival with.

I’ll invest in a better one.  Having never used one I wanted to see how I liked it before shelling out the big bucks.

What power are you looking for?  I can recommend optics to look at.  Looking at a 4x? Red dot?

Can’t go wrong with Trijicon. They have got good designs that has stuck around for years. RMR is still wildy popular; but I prefer my SRO for my shotguns.

[Varangian]

Looks good, works great on the M3.  Lower 1/3 co-witness with the ghost ring with the straight stock, pistol grip stock, and the collapsible.  If I can see through the ghost ring, I can see through the RMR.
