tha1000 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) If so, what mounts are you running? Purchased a Warne XSKEL 34mm mount and the offset dot is obstructed by the windage knob. Wondering if the Warne RAMP would fix this? Or if I need a different mount combo? Edited April 14, 2020 by tha1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotMRD Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 JP Rifles 45° offset mount. I did have to put a short riser (don't remember the exact height). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatriotMRD Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Warne 34mm XSkel scope mount. Short riser under the red dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotMRD Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 You will still see some of the windage knob in the sight. I tried the XSkel offset but it pulled the dot in too close and the view was almost completely blocked. The camera view shows the knob blocking more than what my eye sees behind the rifle.

I’m assuming the Warne offset is the A645 that they market for a front sight for the RAMP mount if you were to run irons? If so, that tells me that the Warne ramp won’t solve my problem and I guess you need to go with a super tall (recon H or geissele ) to get the gigantic windage knob out of the way.

Hi-Power Jack Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If you have the red dot offset, you might want to try a 3x - 12x scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You running this in 3 gun or just in general? I was just wondering if anyone has run this scope in 3 gun and how it would do.. wondering about the eye relief mostly..

I’ll probably take some classes and try to add some semi regular training with this gun in, but I have no burning desire to compete with it.

I also have 1 on my recently finished Heavy Optics rifle. So far, I really like them. The only major match I have tried it at was the 2018 Rockcastle Pro-am. Was set to run it other big open terrain matches (my match flavor preference) but, family circumstances have put those on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Anyway, the ADM Recon H mount (or any other 2” high mount) is a viable solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
