In fact, I can see more by canting the gun than I can by looking over the scope body as with a piggyback MRDS.

    I guess all that really says is that everyone's vision and preference is unique to them.
    What mount are you using?

    I'll post some pics tomorrow. My setup never worked well but I always suspected the mount was part of the problem and I wasn't willing to spend a small fortune on different offset mounts.

    LaRue makes a ring half for the RMR that is decent LT742. It puts the RMR at a real small rotation. Id wager round 30 degrees, maybe less. I had it on my 18" heavier barreled upper that has a 2-10 on it as the primary optic. I was pretty decent. Dont have to roll the rifle very far to get a dot image. I have offset BUIS on my LPVO carbine and there is a HUGE difference in how little you have to roll the rifle with the LaRue ring half. No matches with it, so cant comment on how effective it is under stress.
