SteelCityShooter Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Closer gives a wider field of view through the "window" but the frame restricts what you see beyond the optic. I think it's personal preference. Link to comment
ck1 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I think it’s one’s personal preference, but there seems to be a “sweet spot” somewhere between FOV looking through the glass (closer in) vs easy to get behind (further out). For me, my “sweet spot” for dot mounting on PCC/rifle usually lands about right over the magwell or maybe a couple/few pic notches forward (further out) of there... Link to comment
stick Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It's personal preference. For me, It's where I have the best FOV and the dot is visible without any manipulation once the gun is mounted. Link to comment
zzt Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I only shoot PCC is Steel Challenge. I mount the dot forward for two reasons. First, you know more precisely where the muzzle is pointing. Second, it narrows the field of view around the target. Basically, bring it up. If you see white, pull the trigger. Link to comment
Stephen7942 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Personal Preference for me. Link to comment
TRUBL Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 PP........put it where YOU think is the best spot......then second guess yourself, analyze it, over analyze it some more, switch it up a few times.....you'll probably end up right back where you started. Link to comment
Stumpnav Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 You said optic, but did not say what kind of optic. If its a red dot of some sort, then pretty much personal preference. On a rifle/carbine I like it somewhere in the mid range...leaning more towards further out. For me, the closer I mount it, the more peripheral vision I lose....I like to see whats all around. If its a true scope, then the mounting is dictated by the eye relief of the scope. Link to comment

cferree Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I mounted my C-More Railway as far forward as I could on a GMR-15. After my first practice session I found a lot of carbon on the lens and side of the C-More. Moving it back 3 slots on the receiver rail stop it. Being new to 9 mm blow back guns, I didn't realize how much powder residue was going to come out the ejection port. As for the FoV, to me dots (tube and reflex) don't have one. Moving the scope forward and back only changes the perceived size of the dot, not the FoV since there's no magnification. Link to comment
