Scope with reflex at 45 degree

[crich120mm]

What do you think about these I want to see far but still want to shoot at close range without switching optics

... without switching optics

... scope reflex an rds ...

One of these things is not like the other.

We need a little more clarity in the question, crich120mm. Perhaps you could put up a picture of what you're talking about?

It's a good system. The top tactical rifle shooters at my club do this and are consistent winners because we always throw in a 200 yd stage along with the CQB ones. Since you can't change rifles or uppers a method of quickly engaging both close up and distant targets is needed. This set up fills the bill nicely. I'm currently using an EoTech G33 magnifier behind a HWS for the longer range stuff but I'm seriously considering going this route.

45° won't work if you have a long turret on the right side.
You'd need a scope mount.

45° mount. Turret in the way.

Scope mount. Does great.

Every scope I have owned had the windage adjustment on the right side, regardless of parallax.

Parallax has always been on the left.


Still, depending on range the knobs may not be completely in the way. Gotta save room for the flashlight, VFG, bipod, and laser.

Thanks for the picture. You threw me with that "without switching optics" proviso. The setup you show definitely requires switching optics to go from near to far.

It just doesn't require a workbench and tools to do so.

My 45 degree reflex works great with my Burris on a PEPR mount, no sight interference.

The problem with the scope top mount is that you need to break your cheek weld in order to use it. For a 45 mount, you can just rotate the gun maintaining your shoulder and cheek weld. This allows you to VERY quickly change to the 2nd sight with a stable shooting grip. You need to play with the heights, but once the 2 sights match then you will be very fast and fluid in transition.

My 2c.

who uses magnified optics? I run aimpoint micros exclusively!

Seems like a nice 1-4 or 1.5-6 scope would work nicely. Just a thought.
