| lets see some pictures of rifles with an optic an a backup mini red dot!!!! |
Honestly though I'm not digging it the way I thought I would. It does not give a natural cheek weld even with the rifle rotated so you lose the speed of access the red-dot is known for. Also, though the sight is very lightweight, it's like the straw that broke the camels back and just seems to add uneeded weight. Perhaps if LaRue made a side ring so I could mount this to the side of my scope (on the SPR mount) I'd like the idea better. |

EDIT: not for the PA T-1, it's for a doctor type sight. My bad. |

I have not tried that, but then again LaRue has not suggested it either when I asked about a mounting. You should give the DD 1 o'clock offset mount on top rail, or receiver if you have room, a try. I found that the DD offset w/ Burris FF worked very well, was a quick, natural transition, and worked better being farther back. It looks like your mount keeps the RDS pretty close to the gun making the dot appear pretty high in the sight window. ETA: My contribution-

TNVC SAR The beauty of the SAR is that you can mount the red dot anywhere you want. You are not bound by where the manufacturer wants you to put it.

That looks like it would work - thanks for the link. |

Some TNVC SAR caption in the news not too long ago.
Ryan Newman, the new U.S. Army NASCAR driver, fires a sniper rifle during a visit to Fort Bragg, N.C., by the Army NASCAR crew Jan. 12. The crew toured Range 37 and saw demonstrations of Special Forces training and weapon systems. They also had the chance to fire various rifles and small arms. (Photo by Spc.
