i just bought a colt m4 .223...also new to the art of gunmanship ...so cut me some slack folks......i wanted your input on a specific application....on the top pitanany rail where the scope goes i installed a tri riser i wanted to put a scope on the top vertical and a red dot on the side.. ,,of course the red dot would be setting horizontal and a little lower of the scope,,, just wondering has anyone done this setup ...scope for long range and red dot for fast aiming short range

Offset is the term you are looking for.

Get rid of the tri-rail riser and get a real scope mount with an offset red dot.
