This is compared against solely relying on your LPVO and having to manipulate magnification between targets at varying distances.
However, I did find the shorter distance targets easier and faster to acquire by using the dot.
Like all gear, training with a 45-degree mounted optics solution is going to make or break your experience.
Have you decided to add a 45˚ mount to your AR rifle? Strike Industries offers a mount that allows you to easily attach a red dot sight.
The Strike Industries mount comes in a box with straightforward directions on how to attach it to your gun.
The mount is lightweight and low profile. It adds virtually no bulk over the top of the receiver and barely anything on the starboard side. It can also be flipped to the port.
A single tool is all you need to mount the Strike Industries accessory to the Picatinny rail of your gun. A second tool will likely be needed for affixing the red dot to the mount.
Rotating the gun slightly allows the shooter to access the red dot sight quickly.
When using the primary optic — in this case a LVPO — the Strike Industries mount keeps the backup sight handy but out of the way.
