Acog with red dot on top, how to zero red dot?

[Pappabear]

That sounds like a pain right there...and a good enough reason in itself to prefer offset, or a true 1x LPVO.

It’s not really that big a deal. Can be done with less than a mag in 30 minutes. But if your going to run it, you should do it. It doesn’t have to be perfect science, just baseline understanding what you got. In CQB your not into ultra precision, but should know your going to hit A few inches low in a bedroom. YMMV

Here is a trick - take your zeroed primary optic and center it on a target while bipoded and bagged so it doesn't move. Usually at 100 yards.

Then move the dot to the same target POA as the primary.

Yes holdovers will be different up close, but by doing it at 100, you take away a large part of that variable. Then you can zero it with ammunition very, very quickly.

Maybe I am stupid but why do you need sights at all in the room clearing scenario?

I have been working with this setup since 2003, ACOG with a reflex piggybacked. I zero the Reflex sight at 50 meters. I only use the reflex sight for anything 50 meters or less. Otherwise I use the ACOG. It si a simple system, and It works very well.

Really? Wrong forum bro.

If you are aiming your glock sideways you might be on the wrong site.

Not stupid. Its a common thought. But its also common for people to miss altogether at spitting distance. I advocate use of aiming devices on every shot, no matter how close. Account for those rounds.

I just don't understand the thought process of "I won't need to aim in this situation", because that situation can come and go very quickly.

Yes, one may shoot faster / with less than optimal sight picture / alignment / what have you in specific situations but to be like "Baaah, I don't need sights up close" is a recipe for lots of misses.

Can't remember where I heard it, but if you don't have time to aim, then you don't have time to miss.

I have nothing against aiming if you have the time I just think you should be familiar enough with your rifle to make hits across a room by pointing and not aiming.
