Referencing to the front sight with that scope?

GREAT QUESTION!!

I thought armslist was taken off the net due to the majority of posters were Nigerian scammers.

It's a tiny scope. An LT-104 won't work. Use what works.

It looks a little bit strange, and is likely the result of someone having a surplus of red-dot sight mounts, but it probably works just fine.

Posted: 10/23/2013 7:50:25 PM EDT

[#17]

I like it also. Whats the problem?

I'm not seeing the problem...

Only problem is the scope cap bands are inside the scope mount.

Posted: 10/23/2013 8:01:48 PM EDT

[#22]

Are the elastic bands inside the scope rings?

Nope.
Just wrapped on the right side of the scope.

I'm sure it works just fine. Kinda odd tho

Why not just use straight mounts? That "kneed" mount just adds weight.

Posted: 10/23/2013 8:13:44 PM EDT

[#27]

I don't get it. What's the issue?

It's just an unorthodox way of mounting a short stubby scope, is all.

The way the single 'rings' are contoured, it might even yield a more stable mounting platform for that scope, but I'm no 'physics' guy.

Looks way better than mounting something on top of a carry handle.

Posted: 10/24/2013 1:16:48 AM EDT

[#33]

Not sure he should have mounted the elastic bands in the scope mounts.

Looks very stable.

From all the pics one of the scopes is on backwards

Posted: 10/24/2013 2:44:57 AM EDT

I guess i'm traded. looks like it works well to me.

That fucking douche has left his mark on ARFCOM, been posting this in soooo many threads

Looks damn sturdy! I'd try it.

Posted: 10/24/2013 5:32:17 AM EDT

Based on the size of the scope, that's pretty slick. Eye relief looks about right too.

Posted: 10/24/2013 5:35:50 AM EDT

Looks great to me!

This. Nikon actually advertises that as one way to use their mounts. I don't see anything wrong with it.
