I'm trying to choose an optic for my Ruger PC Carbine. I see a lot of folks recommend the Holosun 510c for its large glass which improves field of view.
However I'll be mounting the optic on the rear of the barrel because that's where it sits the lowest. In this position the optic is around 11" from my eye.
Does the glass size even matter when the optic is that far forward? Most of my field of view will be around the optic, not through it, right? Will a 510c have any advantage over a 507c or 403c when mounted that far forward?
I would think the most important thing would be to have a thin border with as few things getting in the way as possible? I see rifle optics with knobs and battery components sticking out all over the place won't these become more of an issue as the optic is moved further forward?
