i'm going to buy a cheap aimpoint clone tonight. yes it sucks but money is tight at the moment. wish i has the extra $$$ to get a real one.

But my question is what mount should i get with it. Which woud be the best for my rifle that is a RRA CAR A4 with a ARMS 40 Low profile buis. the short one or the Cantilever or the lower one?? thanks

Shoo with irons till you can save up for the real deal. On a 10/22 I'd say go for it. But with a sighting system you're better off spending the money up front for it. The battery life on the clones isn't very good and the batteries aren't cheap.

i just want a mount that will put it right above the front sight i think. I just want a cheap one, i'm not going to be using the rifle all the time. just to shoot tpaper on the weekends and to keep in the house.

cantilever or high mount....though again I highly recommend you wait and buy the real deal...they come up on the EE used sometimes at decent prices (around $225 sometimes).

where would the short mount put the dot. a guy at a gun shown around here said i'd want the low one for some reason??

you wouldnt want in under the front sight at all right? would i want it to line up with the arms 40L ?? just new to a aimpoint and getting the setup right

if you want lower 1/3 cowitness (just above the post a little bit) then go with what i said

low mounts if you want it to be absolute cowitness (dot on the post)

thanks for your quick replies which would you prefer?

me i like lower 1/3 because the FOV is clearer and if you need irons you drop your cheek weld down a very small amount (maybe a 1/2 inch). I also like the heads up stance more.
