I just know when we were in Iraq we mounted our CCO's over the receiver on our M4's. It just feels comfortable to my eyes there.

Why would you put a rail on a rail ? Chin weld ? Half of arfcom bitches because a Knights rail is 3 grams heavier than a piece of tin foil and you show up mounting rails on rails . Put the red dot on the rail.

Were it mine, I'd mount the red dot directly to the Sage stock. The mount you've placed over the receiver just adds weight without significant benefit.
Just my opinion, and it's worth what you paid for it. |

There are multiple issues with the mount in your OP, aside from HOB. Aside from that, how a belt fed is employed is likely different than how an M1A is employed. |

Low mount directly to rail in front of receiver.
It's a red dot, no need to have it at a "proper eye relief" distance. You'll drop weight, have the lowest possible mount and as an added bonus, unobstructed access to the bolt & chamber for clearing malfunctions, cleaning and uninterrupted ejection. Seems like a no brainer to me. |

That's one ugly rifle, maybe the worst I've ever seen. Put it back to original stock configuration and use the irons. Or sell the monstrosity.
