When I look through my iron sights, my Aimpoint dot sits right on top of the front sight post. In this position, the iron sights sit in the botom third of the Aimpoint. With my eye slightly above the irons, i see the Aimpoint dot more in the center of the Aimpoint scope body. Make sense? This is co-witnessing. The irons and Aimpoint dot all line up.
What mount and rear sight are you using? |

It's an Aimpoint AB Mount QRP. I don't have my BUIS site yet so I guess I'm not co-witnessing. My question is, does my Aimpoint need to be higher?

Um, not sure. It looks a little lower than my ARMS 22M68 mounts (both using the canteliver spacer). I'll check when I get home.

The mount you have will put the irons in the center of the Aimpoint. It is perfectly useable that way, but most prefer the irons a little lower in the sight window. There is a spacer available for your mount that will raise the Aimpoint up a bit. It's really just a matter of personal preference, though. BTW, the object is to look over your irons when using your dot. You would only use your irons if your dot failed.

Bradd, do you know where I can get a spacer?
Thanks. |

Breycor, you can also mount the Aimpoint QD on a scout rail, this will give you the correct height and allow you to move the sight further forward.
