Good morning.
I have a Mk IV Target and I am thinking about mounting a red dot on it. I currently have a picatinny rail on it, but will be removing that as I find it a tad bulky.
Whilst I have not purchased it yet, I am thinking of buying an OLight OSight for it - a slightly cheaper, RMR-footprint optic - but would like to also co-witness with the iron sights if possible. I know this can be done if we put a riser on the mount, so we look underneath the riser through the optic, however, I find they often look too high... and yes, aesthetics count.
What I'd prefer to do is have it so I can see the irons sights through the optic - which means the optic has to be mounted low - I have this working well on my CZ so I know it's possible.
Whilst I know there are a squillion different red dot optics out there to choose from, all with pros and cons, I am looking to get an opinion from you as to what a good combination of red dot optic, the mount (dovetail or three holes on the barrel, and the iron sights themselves. I'm not overly happy with the factory ones - they are just not visible enough to me - as my eyesight isn't amazing. Any suggestions for aftermarket iron sights please?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
