| I have an Aimpoint pro mounted on my Tavor. If I were to move it up the rail 8" or 10" will it still be zeroed? I'm thinking of putting it in front of a night vision monocular. |

Quoted:
Really?Why? How can moving the aimpoint forward effect POI? Weight forward maybe effecting muzzle rise? It effects point of impact in reference to the optic. It's not going to make the gun itself shoot lower or higher, but your different relation to the optic and how the elevation was set on said optic will change. |

Hey guys, moving my optic forward on my Tavor rail won't change the zero, right?  |

Dang, I really don't like these answers. Do you think reality will be different if I ask again? Hey guys, moving my optic forward on my Tavor rail won't change the zero, right?

I really like my Tavor with an IR laser when using night vision. Makes a very compact little package that works great! |

It's to do with Trigonometry...but yes rest assured moving your optic forward will change the POI because you are essentially create a different angle from the optic to the muzzle to the target than you had before. I'd draw a diagram but well i'm too lazy to. |

Yes,
I just moved a scope on my 716 back three notches, Like 2" maybe. Now at 100 yards it was now a foot high and 5 inches to the right, this was a Larue mount BTW. On another rifle I simply tightened down the latch on a Burris PEPR QD mount ant this shifted the POI a couple of inches, scope mounts can be very sensitive. |

So I should keep it way forward so in the event I want to use the night vision it's already there? Quoted:
Quoted:
Pick a spot. Zero it. Leave it alone and remember where it goes if you have to take it off. -- Chuck Doesn't hurt with a red dot. One of the reasons AR's built with that in mind push their optics as forward as possible with cantilever and the like to open up railspace behind for a magnifier/pvs14. |

Everyone is different, but I like to push any optics that I use with both eyes open far forward. And yes, moving them front to back definitely causes the POI to change. One notch I hardly ever notice a difference with a RDS at 75yds, but 8" will almost certainly change your POI at 100yds. |

I prefer my dot sights as far forward as the rail allows. Makes picking up the dot easier as well as transitioning from target to target. I don't "look thru" a dot sight, I just see the dot in my field of vision with both eyes open.
If you're not shooting with both eyes open you're missing a lot of target awareness. Try closing or taping over the front cover. Yep the dot is still out there -- if you have both eyes open. -- Chuck |

If you're not doing it as described above, you're doing it wrong. |
