It is old news. The military asked for a way to mount a JPoint on the side of the LT SPR mount. They are not in production currently...

I saw one of those in Nashville. Looked like it would have major durability problems. Not so much the way the mount was or anything like that, just having that little optic sight stuck out there. Why not just make a connecting rib on the scope rings or something like that? A little mini sighting rib? IMHO, that would be a far more durable and cheaper solution to lack of close range speed. Plus it would be ambi, and only require a slight change in cheek weld as opposed to being offset to the left or the right. Paint a white line down the middle.
Just a thought. |

The problem with mounting a JPoint on the top of the scope is that it puts it VERY high off the bore line and is actually much more susceptible to being knocked off. You also have the issue of clearing the target knobs on the scope. This mount for the allows you to put it on either the left or right side of the scope as well... C4 |

Mounted on the right side of the weapon all you have to do is cant the weapon slightly as you mount it. It works slick.....
As far as durability goes, opt for the Dr. Optics over the J-Point. The Dr. Optics is a more robust sight with better optics. Both will fit on the LaRue mount.... I think it's a slick set-up for an SPR......... |
