red dot scope on a magnified scope at 45 deg. angle

[cronus5116]

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a mini red dot scope (like a doctor) mounted on a magnified scope (like a leupold), with a GG&G adapter, thats angled at 45 deg. I just wana know your thoughts on this product. Thanks

You probably need to give a little clarification. Are you referring to this setup on an AR (pretty common to see two optics in 3-gun), or are you referring to this type of setup on a precision bolt gun? I'm not quite sure what you'd gain by putting this on a bolt gun.

The one im writing about is mounted on a precision bolt gun, its used for targets that are to close to be seen through the magnified scope, or if a target is encountered and you don't have time to draw a sidearm.

For me anything that is "to close to be seen through the magnified scope" is engaged with a handgun.

To answer your edit: It would be hands on. That would be the only distance where I or you would not be able to draw your sidearm and engage the target.

Not a bolt gun, but this is my setup. Works on any picatinny rail. On another setup, I have it mounted to a piece of rail over the ejection port.

ETA: I did fix the mounting and I apologize for the blurry picture (not my camera).

I think this is what the OP is talking about

Carlos Hathcock is rolling over in his grave on this one.

I think a device like this takes weapon that was not intended for CQB distances and makes it into... A weapon still not intended for CQB distances. If you're outfitting a precision rifle, your budget would be MUCH better utilized on other things, like good training. If you want it on a 3-gun rifle, go for it. I'd leave it off of the bolt gun.

I am not qualified to speak on this with any authority. I've never been in the military nor an LEO.

It seems that the purpose of this is not to turn a bolt action precision rifle into a CQB weapon. It seems the purpose is to turn it into an emergency CQB.

You are in your hide with your partner and you get surprised by some goobers coming up on you at 30 yards or whatever and need to act fast. That sort of scenario.
