Well, as I was driving by a golf course headed home, I noticed some golfiers placing a small sight to their eyes. So I stopped by and walked up to them (they kept staring me, probably thinking who the hell is this guy) and I asked them what they were using (I'm naturally curious). They said that it magnifies 3x and helps them to see where their balls have landed. So I walk to my care and begin to think.
If I could get one and place a set of scope rings on it and attatch it onto the rear of the Aimpoint, would it "work"? Can anyone give me a link to these products? I don't even know their official name

Have you tried searching a site for a nation-wide sporting goods dealer like Dick's or MVP? I'd bet you'd find info on them there.
As to whether or not it would work, you could always buy one at a local store, try it out without mounting it and, if it doesn't work, just return it for a refund. |

If I recall, it is called a Monocular.

I tried a Google search for "golf scope" and came up with a few. Prices range from $20 on up. Radio Shack even carries one. Looks like average length is about 3 inches, did not see a reference to tube diameter so I don't know if you could mount one with 1" rings. 30mm rings perhaps? Might be a neat idea to try out!

You should also research the monocular's eye relief. Most golf mono's have virtually none (held to face). Not good when you mount it to a rifle....

Hehehe. I did that with a cheap 8x monocular. Yes it works - but it was a PITA because the ring height was never right so the reticule was always near the edge of the scope's display. So I never tried to fire it as getting a good sight picture wasn't easy. A 30mm ring is needed - Now if I could find a 30mm ring that puts the scope on the same plane as the irons it would work much better. |

I tried one our, it had a great sight picture however no eye releif, just like bio's,,,,I think a small cheap compact rifle scope will work just as well, no room on my setup to try it,,,,
