| How bad does a standard FSB clutter the view throw a 1-4x variable power scope? Or are flip up sights mandatory? |
| REALLY, REALLY NOTICABLE. On a 12" forearm with the Meopta you can even see the Troy flip down clear as day as if it were looking right at it on 1X. Not blurry at all. I would not want to use a true 1X minimum with a standard FSB but people do it with Aimpoints and absloute cowitness all the time. At full magnification it is not a problem at all. I would call it personal preference. I am fine with Aimpoints and ACOGs with a standard FSB but not with 1-4X optics on the 1X setting. |

I would be using a 9" FF rail and the optic would be a NF. Seems to me that the less crap there is in the sight picture, the better; however, since I've NEVER seen shot a set-up like this I can't really comment on how distracting it would be. But, I sure see a lot of this going on with military weapons in the pics that I see. Thanks for the feedback, gents. |
My build is gonna be a middy, so it won't be so "out there" as on your set up. I've gotten some other feedback via IM wherein the user is running a standard FSB and a Short Dot. The user cited that the FSB was not an issue at 1x. Anyone else? |
