Which mount is that for the red dot.  

I see it's an h1, but if it were a nv compatible dot, would you be able to use it passively with pvs 14 while keeping stock in shoulder? Lol I'm having a hard time getting this question answered.

I still use the H1 with a PVS14. Turned down to the lowest couple settings, it works fine. I'm not entirely convinced that Aimpoint has different brightness settings on the T1/H1. Aaron Cowan and others, all way smarter and more experienced than I, do the same with other red dots.

The offset mount is an Arisaka Defense with the taller base plate for 1.93 height to match the scope. I can actually look through the scope or the red dot with a PVS14 on my helmet. It is not super comfortable, but doable. The laser means I use those for backups or as a passive aiming option. If the offset mount was by the charging handle, it would be a harder to get behind it with the PVS14.

Pics of front view of mount, aiming with the RDS and optic. I do have to cheat the stock up in my shoulder/neck a bit to get a view through the optics. It is difficult to view through any optic unless you are using IR illumination. Also, a PVS14 would need to be over your weapon side (some like to run it on the non-weapon side). The pics aren't great, trying to hold a camera and rifle without turning my head isn't easy.

Awesome 👌

Thats what I'm trying to be able to do.  I've used piggyback, but wanted to try the dot further forward, for various reasons

I have the laze too, but its good to have a passive option.

Cool setup, OG pst makes sense bc of weight.

Do you think the arisaka is in "the perfect spot" for this, or would it be better if it were offset one direction or another more?  (For passive nods use)

@Click2Boom

I got the Arisaka due to their reputation and the ability for the mount to swap between 35* and 45* angles. I wasn't sure what I would have needed without trying it. An LPVO with smaller or covered turrets would have allowed me to go 35* (one more reason I am looking at changing the optic). The 45* angle sticks the optic out a bit further than I would like, IE I need to use a different gun case now. I may have actually liked the RDS near the charging handle, but the offset mount then clutters up the CH and QD mount levers for the LPVO. It wasn't worth it to me to cram it back there. Badger Ordnance has an interesting solution for that, but it ain't cheap. Running it further forward makes it easier to sight with the NOD anyhow.

If you were asking about right side or left side of the weapon, I don't see how you could naturally manipulate the weapon very well if the RDS was offset to the left as a right-handed shooter.

Direct mounting to 1:30 M-lok slot keeps this little fatty as low as she can be, while also putting the beam in-line with the bore. Added an Inforce WML-X (White/IR) to serve as illuminator, when needed.

Waiting on the Unity Hot button dual lead, I have had one on back order since March. Unity Taps works just takes up too much space and I have to mount it behind the MAWL which is a no go. Mod button will go in front of MAWL for perfection of running white light and VIS or blasting white light to overcome it being shined at me with retaining ir laser for aiming.

Playing with a piggyback mounted LAM.  This is primarily for hunting and it was becoming annoying trying to adjust illuminator dispersion or switch modes with the LAM mounted on the end of the handguard.  Probably will end up with a D2 on here at some point as it looks like it’ll give me better height clearance (and a rear mounted mode switch as opposed to top mounted) over the PVS-30 objective when compared to the PEQ.
