I have this set up with a HoloSight on top of the scope (just set it up). Is there a big disadvantage to having the red dot that high? I figure it is the same height as a red dot on top a a carry handle.

If it's comfortable, then go for it.

I run a docter on my TA01NSN. It is about as high as I would ever go, but with practice it is perfectly usable. Just keep practicing bringing the rifle up untill you learn the motion and the feel of the stock against your chin.

I had always heard you want to keep your sighting tool as close to the bore as you can. |

It makes for a pretty funky trajectory, but since you won't be using it at long rang anyway, just zero it at 35 ot 50 and it will be within a man's chest out to 100 yards.

The higher off the bore your sight is, the narrow the range at which the sight will be zeroed for. At the height of the iron sights, an AR zeroed at 50 yards will keep the bullet within about 2" in either direction (up or down) from the line of sight out to about 250 yards. Double that height, which is about what you'd be talking about with the setup you describe, and you more than HALF the distance (or more than double the elevation spread) that the sight will be zeroed for.
Now, how important is that to you? I have no idea; it will depend on the type of shooting you do and how you plan to use the optic. -Troy |

PhotoGuy,
If you use an EOTech Holosight, it will be too top heavy, but if you use the same set up as NewARGuy's SPR(the rifle in your picture), you will have better luck. He has a Doctor sight on his ARMS track mount. |

Maybe I'll go with a doctor sight at a later date. |

If it's for some game, it's probably OK. If it's for a fighting rifle, you are giving your adversary 100% full value of your head to shoot at. For some people on this board, that would not be a great loss, for others, it would be catastrophic! The choice is yours.
Me, I'm keeping my brain-housing-unit as close to the bore as physically possible!! If you are a liberal, a Democrat, or from Kalifagistan, mount the optic 3 or 4 feet over the bore, PLEASE!! |
