Moved post #1-3 from the 15-22 Pic Thread


Okay, sorry rookie here. Sounds like some good advice, but break it down for me.

What is the Mbus?
Site radius?
canted riser?
POI issues?

I think I have moved the scope as far back, made the image look a lot better is that (Site Radius?) Also I was thinking about getting a little red dot holographic to mount on top of the scope for quicker acquisition of target.

I like what you had to say tell me more.

I was actually referring to and quoting Locus115's post. "Originally Posted by Locus115"

Your scope and sights look like they are in a good position.

Don't confuse sight radius with eye relief. My understanding is that sight radius is the distance between front and rear iron sights, and does not really apply to scopes. As an example of a sight radius issue, most experts advise against an inexperienced shooter getting a very compact pistol, since the sight radius on a tiny gun is necessarily small. A slight misalignment of front and rear while aiming will produce a large error at the target. Longer handguns have more space between the sights, which makes it easier to line them up accurately and hit the target.
Eye relief is the distance between your eye and the ocular (rear) lens of a scope. If your eye is too close or too far away, you won't see the full circular picture. On a .22 you can use a scope with small eye relief, since there is little recoil, but on a deer rifle obviously you need more eye relief so the scope won't smack you in the eye when you pull the trigger. Here's a good article about scopes and red dots that has a section on eye relief.

Very well explained RolandW
