when i built my scout rifle i decided to go with a red dot. i've never been much for scopes, always used pin hole, or iron sights. but since i'm older that front sight is just a blur, and since i cut the barrel on this rifle, there is no front sight.
i modified the rear sight base. i removed the spring, and flipped the sight over, and leveled off the wings, then double pinned , and mounted the weaver base.
the red dot is a tru-glo.
i guess it's time for my question. to me the red dot looks too high. i don't see how i can get it lower without taking the original sight completely off the barrel, and having the barrel drilled and tapped. but the funds have been tight. i know that the scope / red dot should be mounted as low as possible. will this sight being too high be problem?
any feedback will be appreciated.
