    Offset MRDS on optic: Am I doing this right...

    Finally got around to mounting these.

    Leupold 3-9x in DD mount with Insight SQFS offset from the primary optic itself, versus the receiver/handguard. Seems to transition well.

    I have a DD 1 o’clock mount ready to go, but decided to try this first. It seems like a fairly decent solution and avoided my mounting the MRDS to the handguard or back right in front of my eye. Also, if I mount the scope, the backup goes with it.

    Used? No, I just mounted.

    Any concerns with this setup? Anyone else do this?

    Is that at the same bore distance as the scope?

    Any orientation will work, but I prefer mine oriented like monty in the 2nd post has it. I prefer the traditional horizontal vs vertical window.

    Just did some estimations, tough to get it exact. But, it seems like the MRDS is probably 1/8” low right now. Should be able to rotate it up a bit.

    If you mount it any way other than illustrated in this picture it will be a bitch to zero and never shoot to the point of aim at any range other than the distance it is zeroed at.

    Thanks for the reminder on that. I asked because something was bugging me but couldn’t remember what it was. First time doing any sort of offset mount besides using the DD 1 O’clock mount on an M&P15-22 that I haven’t actually gotten to the range yet.

    I pulled the MRDS from the scope and moved to the DD offset rear by the charging handle. This works just fine and likely where I’ll leave it.

    I did try it at 1200 on top of the primary optic, but this was way too high with the setup I have. Other mounts/optics probably could lower it a bit.

    Grab an arisaka offset mount with the correct plate for your MRDS. They work awesome and weigh almost nothing. They give you 30deg and 45deg mounting options as well.
