red dot scope

[jordan2139]

whats the best red dot scope or a g&p aimpoint replica? cuz the one that came with it is a bit to short to but on the receiver rail.

[cazboab]

The one that came with What?

[MDK_Marshal]

Yeah... Need the Info....

 

Also... I though a red dot scope and an aimpoint replica were essentialy one and the same.. or has everybody on this forum been lying to me?

 

Go away and use the spell checker. Then think about the number of psychic's there are on these forums. NONE! FFS man, we need to know!

 

here's what you could have said...

 

 

"What do you think would be the best for me? A generic red dot scope (EG, a Milspex or walther one) or a g&p aimpoint replica? I'm just wondering, as the one that came with my gun is too short to fit onto the weaver rails. Not sure what make it is, I'll try and get some pictures up for you soon.

 

Thanks in advance for the Help!"

 

 

See? Isn't that so much easier to understand?

[jordan2139]

sry guys i was in a hurry. i meant the mount for the scope is too low to be put on the rail on the reciever because the battery box blocks it. here the picture of the scope and mount.

[cazboab]

Put the battery box on the side?

[COXY]

Get one of these....

... and stick the aimpoint on the iron sight

 

Or get something like this....

... and it will be higher than the box

[jordan2139]

if i stick the red dot on the iron sight will it still be accurate? cuz it seems like it would be alot higher.thnx

[guinnessman]

Should be, just zero the weapon using the dials on the side and top of the sight. They should move the red dot around to where your beebs are hitting at the desired range. My red dot is mounted on the top of my G36 carry handle, took me 5 mins to get it configured.

[jordan2139]

the problem with redots sometimes are that by moving ur head just a little bit u see the dot from another angle.

And the advantage with redot sometimes are that it doesn't matter if you see the dot from another angle. The dot should still point to where the gun is going to hit.

Of course, in either case, anybody with half a brain will attempt to get the dot in the centre of the scope picture.

 

Unless I'm mistaken, Jordan2139 seems to really be struggling with the setting up a scope. Maybe he'd be better off sticking to iron sights?

 

Or water pistols?

With a proper red dot or holo-sight it doesn't matter how you look at it. You see the dot on the target, and you will hit. With other red dots than Aimpoint the POI shifts a bit, but with airsoft accuracy you can't notice it.

 

I wouldn't recommend putting the tube too high on the gun, because your cheek will soon lack the support of the stock. I'd rather do something about the battery box. Cheapest way is to move it to the side, but a better looking solution would be a crane stock. There are also magazine pouches that could hide the battery on the side of the stock without looking awful. With the battery in the rear, you get much better balance.

IIRC;

 

Aimpoint = Brand.

 

Red Dot Scope = A scope that projects a dot or recticle onto a plane of glass to aid quick target aqcuistion.

 

So an Aimpoint is a type of RDS.

[Ripper517]

If its too long, save up for an Eotech551 cos they are short, sweet and very beautiful.

 

That particular guarder AP scope isn't really a very accurate aimpoint replica anyway.

Eh?

 

Seriously, do you have any clue at all what the thread is about?

 

The guy is saying that when he mounts the scope on the top rail of his armalite the picture is obscured by the PEQ box which he obviously has mounted on the foregrip.

 

Now, how the f**k is spending a stupid amount of money on an Eotech gonna help with this?

Does the Eotech have some X-ray function which isn't widely known about?

[Outlaw of Torn]

Stupid question, but what makes Eotechs some amazing? They look nice, but what do they do that other RDS won't?

 

Thank you

[nobody]

Well...

 

They're a pukka gun sight. That's the first thing. Go and try to buy yourself a real Aimpoint or a real ACOG. Same deal. They're built to withstand the ratling they get when attached to a firearm.

 

As to whats whizzy about the Eotech, the "holographic" reticule is supposed to be quite snazzy in that if the screen is partially obscured or broken it'll still project onto any remaining portion of the screen.

TBH, any RDS would probably do the same thing to some extent, so long as you shifted your line-of-sight so you were looking through the unobscured portion of the lens but it's still a nifty feature.

 

TBH, I can't understand for the life of me why nobody has made a standard reflex sight which is a replica EOTech. Surely they'd sell like hot cakes?

[Aod]

i think that the positioning of the lens on the EOTech looks stupid (imo)

i think that mounting the lens at the front like this:

looks much cooler, and gives you a larger distance from eye to sight point, which gives better accuracy. (not much, but its worth mentioning)

Yeah, prety much what I was getting at there

 

An aimpoint is essentialy a Brand Name Shirt. A Generic RDS (Milsex etc) will essentialy be a george/tesco shirt.

 

*NOTE* - the above are metaphors. METAPHORS! Don't try to wear your red dot sight. It's not big, its not funny, and it certainly doesn't look as good with a tie.

I know!

 

Why hasn't G&P/G&G/KA made a replica? They'd sell like mad!
