mikev49 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I gotta admit, I was skeptical about the small dots until I read this post in Aug of '16. I bought one because I couldn't get the grip i wanted with the sideways cmore on my new gun and had to try something else. I now have switched all my open guns and another one going on a build .

Goneglocken Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Guys, I'm in the process of converting an older two sided CMore mount (frame hole space issues not wanting to weld frame) to a Leupold DPP. I already have the two mounting screws drilled and tapped. Question is, do I need a couple of blind pins or dead hole set screws in 2 of the 4 locator holes to maintain zero, or will the two mounting screws be sufficient? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a PT mount that was 80% done for the RTS2. One of the other Akai guys finished them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetalJacket Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I just mounted up 2 Cheely offset mounts. You can't even notice the offset and the quality is great. Love my Deltapoint and I'm glad I made the move. Now I need 4 more to get all my guns switched over. Limcat makes a center bore mount... Everglades does as well... I couldn't get past the branding they put on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted some photos a couple pages back, but I have one gun with the Everglades mount and one with the Cheely mount. Even though the Cheely is slightly offset, I can swap between the two without any issue. That being said, my new gun is going to have an Everglades mount. Partially because I bounced my gun across the floor last Friday, before a match on Saturday morning, and it still held a perfect zero.

a matt Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 funny you motioned your basket ball incident, a guy grabbed my gun case and it wasnt locked. Well really the lid was only closed and dropped my gun of a chest high bar and chipped my Ti comp pretty good but the DP pro with the Cheely mount held true. SMH, New Comp and back at it. Yea untill my slide cracked a week later or I noticed it after a local match a week later. I did notice a slight ruff spot when I was shooting the days before when I was racking my slide. Checked things out and figured if was the aluminum shock buff i was trying out with an 7 lb spring, i never thought it would be a cracked slide 1/4 inch off center on the ejection port. Crazy and with a few weeks till nationals. Awesome. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippSpeed Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 ok I came really late to this thread ... Is the DPP good to go ??? Is it reliable... I was hoping RTS 2 was reliable but have sent it back to cmore ever soo offen to get updated was a totally bullcrap !!! I dont want the same fiasco with this one... I really want to update from a 90 degree because I have experience the dreaded blind spot too many times... And I was thinking of going with the 7.5moa Chevron versus the smaller 4moa ... What are you guys thought on that ??? Anyone running the 7.5moa chevron ??? And lastly; I would prefer to run the cheely mount because I might have case ejection problems ... My ejection is irratic but I have never experience a stove pipe with the 90 degree cmore... ( ps. I'm running an aftec ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 12 pages which pretty much answers all your questions. This thread steered me toward the DPP vs the rts2 and while I only have put 500 rds on the DPP i really like it so far. and I have the 2.5 Moa dot..

I need to have someone on here whos have this for at least a year and/or 5000+rds with no issues I've got about 4K rounds on one since September with no issues. I replaced the battery at the first of the year just to be proactive, but it was still working fine at the time. I'll replace it again before a sectional match next month. My backup has about 1K on it, again with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 "That might be a little stretch. I have only heard of 2 total people with DPP's issues and one of them pixilated so the dot wasn't round. Nearly every RTS2 had multiple issues. I now have 5 DPPs on open guns and PCC rifles and have yet to have an issue in nearly 100k rounds in one year. I also know of at least 20 other DPPs being used without issue. So no, they are not a dud. " Did you read the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And please note that the bluish tint on the old RTS2 was only on the first run and was removed a long time ago. And the v4 has been quite reliable. (Ask Chis Tilley, who won CO with a v3 last year.)

I wish I didnt have a blind spot on my 90 degree cmore ... but it has been happening to me alot lately and I need to change ... I cant stand the upright cmore because of the height difference... so the DPP might be the way to go for me .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfisher Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Love mine, only about 1000 rounds on it but no issues. turn it on oat the beginning of the match off at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I like mine over a traditional cmore. Sits much lower, looks cool, and surprisingly I really like the smaller 2.5 moa dot. I have done the same as above so far. Turn it on at the start of a match and turn it off when it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
