Hey everyone, so i wanted to ask a couple questions about my AR-15 5.56 chambered rifle. But before i do, i'll give the specs for context.
So it's a custom built setup, with a pre-built 16" barrel length upper receiver (5.56 obviously), a front post sight base, factory M4 style plastic handguard, a small picatinny rail from the rear of the upper receiver that ends right before the handguard, flip-up backup sights on the rear of the rail, and a Romeo5 red dot on a Monstrum 3.5 in. adjustable riser with quick release arms for aiming comfortability.
My first concern is that i noticed when i try to zero in the red dot, there's a big difference between zero'ing at say 10 or 15 yard vs 25 to 50. And i'm assuming this has to due with the height of the red dot. Is there any way to lessen this difference without sacrificing comfortability? Is it worth worrying about or trying to resolve it?
My next curiosity is trying to optimize the setup by say adding a flip-mount magnifier for acquiring further targets better. Is this worth it to add a magnifier to make it easier to acquire longer range targets?
My last question is just a general catch-all on general improvements or things that would be worth doing to the rifle to make it overall better to use or more effective/efficient. What do you all suggest are the best additions/improvements/adjustments to make to a rifle such as this?
