I DO NOT like offset dots with NODS, vastly prefer them on top of the primary optic in that application.

Interesting. Maybe the Reptilla RMR mount on top of an LPVO would work then. Thanks for the info, it’ll probably be a while before I get into NODs but I’m trying to have everything ironed out before then.

It's very interesting you said that. When I started down this same path to The One True Carbine, I bought a Noveske 12.5" Crusader barrel with a Switchblock on it.

This is a fascinating thread, I'm going to make it a sticky. Jack - thank you so much for your input, it makes a ton of sense.

This is where I’m at too. Only had some limited training on a borrowed set so far and hoping I can swing a NODs setup in the next year or so. Don’t want to get to that point and find out I have to completely reconfigure my gun for NOD use.

Agreed, lots of great knowledge shared so far in the thread. I’ve heard that John Noveske quote for years and it’s always stuck with me as well.

It that setup works great, I have one on top of a NF 2.5-10x24 on my 14.5 Switchblock Noveske semi-precision rifle.

Funny how people went away from piggybacked RMRs because it was 'too high' / no cheekweld, only to start putting LPVOs on jacks up to 1.93" and now 2.04".

I feel like I've seen this animal before...

And shot it.

I tried the 1.93" and liked it while standing but it did take a little more adjustment in the prone. I've since found that the Badger C1 in lower 1/3 (1.7ish) is an awesome compromise and I'm super happy with it, plus I'm experimenting with an offset RDS, hence my question.

I've actually been thinking about this lately, as I'd like to get rid of all my project guns, and keep just one AR-15 as my go to. I really don't want to spend the money on a tax stamp, so I'll probably keep my 14.5" P/W. The only thing I wish I did different, was getting a SOCOM mini instead of the RC2.
