That looks great, what scope, red dot and base did you use? I am looking for a similar setup.

The scope is a Swiss arms from airsoft , the rail is this one Evike.com - External Parts | Evike.com - Scope Mount Base | Evike.com - Other Mounts | Evike.com - G&P Dual Offset Rail Interface. | , the red dot is this one http://www.barska.com/Electro_Sight_Scopes-BARSKA_MULTI-RETICLE_IR_ELECTRO_SIGHT_SCOPE.html

Looks great jaker!

Very much like my setup (when the carry handle is off). A 4x on top and a sightmark reflex on the starboard side. Works like a champ!

Jerry Miculek (all bow down!) uses this configuration... as can be seen here:

i'd probably put the red dot on the left side of the rifle so it would be easier for quick acquisition? unless you are shooting left-handed. seems like looking across the stock of the rifle would be harder than if it was on the inside.

I tried it on the left side first and it was ok , but when I moved it to the right it just works a lot better , the reason for me was my wrist , when you turn it to the outside your wrist and shoulder doesn't feel right , on the right you are able to keep your wrist strait and the stock tight on your shoulder

Most people will mount it on the side away from the body and roll the rifle slightly. You keep your stock position and cheek weld the same so you have to do very little to transition from one sight to the next. This also puts the sight at right angles to the bullet trajectory so you can zero it easily.

That's also why those small dot sights have such large dots like 7-8 MOA (the Docter and Trijicon RMR specifically). They're meant to be used for close in shooting, either standalone on pistols, or in conjunction with a low powered scope.

Yeah.. what he said
Watch that Jerry Miculek video I linked a few posts ago and you'll see just how easy it is and how well it works

With that offset base is the red dot in correct alignment with the bore?

If you mean , where I put the red dot I hit , then yes it is

I have a similar set up but have a 3/4" riser on my scope, do you find you have to really press into the stock to get a good visual thru your scope, that is the problem I have.

Not with this scope , another scope I had on there , had a real bad eye relief , so It was hard to get where you could see thru it , what scope are you using

 

[Langster]

Great looking rifle.

Is that a BeltFed barrel shroud on there?

it was an $80 center point from wal mart, I took it back, It wouldn't hold zero. I've got to stop buying cheep scopes and cough up a little extra $$ for something nice.

No , it's something I made from some parts lying around

Okay, does it hit at 5, 15, 25, 35 yards...if so its probably in line.

I can hit from 5 up to 50 yards , after that it gets hard For me to focus on target
