ksorrell Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I am considering putting a comp on my 3gun AR. I run a scope and 45 degree offset iron sights and was wondering if the comp would have to be installed to line up with the scope or the irons or someone inbetween? Anyone ever have to address this issue before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I don't think it is a significant issue in actual application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1094 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I would time it with the optic. I don't think it will make much of a difference with the irons because you will be using them at closer ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksorrell Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks. I'll set it to the optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Set it up for the optic. It makes little difference and that difference is even more mitigated by the fact when your using the off set sights the targets are close and muzzle jump is going to be even less of an issue.

Flatland Shooter Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I shoot open with a Burris MTAC and a FastFire mounted at 45 degrees. Initially ran my gun with the comp clocked to about 1 o'clock. A bit later I moved it to 12 o'clock. Really did not notice much difference.

Jesse Tischauser Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I run offset irons but I only use them when my glass is at 6X and there isn't time to adjust the scope back down to 1X before hosing close stuff. My point is you will use your scope on 1X a lot more than you will use your offsets so time the comp for the scope.

DDustin Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Set your gun up for its most common use otherwise you'll be screwed more often than not. Think about it in terms of setting up for long range. Long range shots are pretty infrequent, which is why if you went with just 6x all the time to be ready for those few shots, you'd have a pretty rough time 90% of the match.
