AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

There's no eye box.

It's just, zoop.

You may have to deal with parallax problems, depending on your dot.

But other than that, it's just the world of possibilities.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Nope.

When I bought that Aimpoint, you did have to spend Aimpoint money to get a red dot that didn't have parallax to it or that had that 50,000-hour battery life.

These days, I wouldn't buy an Aimpoint again.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

No.

It's about what my aim point was with the Midwest side rail because I haven't done an AR.

It's an absolute co-witness.

So on an AK, it was giving me a little bit of chin weld, but it also like that height gave me freaking perfect passive aiming with night vision, which is why I had it on there.

Which, if you don't have night vision, none of that stuff applies to you.

Like, don't frickin' put a riser on your dot just because you can.

Unless you're going to be doing some more heads-up shooting, that kind of thing.

What?

AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

I do have a thing against putting pistol dots on a rifle that close to my face, though.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

I don't hate it.

I experienced this with pistol dots on shotguns, too, when we were playing around with those so much.
