Possible to use an offset optic mount to be able to use my left eye while shooting right handed?

Doubtful. Maybe if you mounted it all the way forward on the rifle, but even then I imagine it would be tricky. You're better off learning to shoot left handed if your right eye is an issue IMHO.

Ive never tried it or heard of it being done but I wonder if a 45 degree offset mount with an aimpoint micro would work. Of course even if it did, it would only work for cqb distances and minute of man accuracy.

You could but I think it would be more hassel than it is worth. My wife has a Left eye dominance issue so she just learned to shoot rifles lefty. I have seen custom stocks that shoulder guns on the right side but line up with your left eye. They have one hell of a curve to them.

That's basically what I was thinking of as well:

Caine I notice we are usually on the same wave length. Need to ask mom if I have any unknown brothers :shock:

I will probably just go with a scope to eliminate the problem.

 

Since I have small budget, probably go with an NCStar MkIII Mildot with the red dot mounted on top of that for in close work.

Keep in mind, if you mount a red dot ON TOP of the scope, your head will basically be off the stock for you to see thru it. It's an option, but not an ideal one.

Don't they make those BUIS that mount on 45 degree angle on the rails?

This can obviously be addressed in different ways. Kimber is left eye dominant and picks up a rifle and shotgun and shoots lefty. And successfully.

 

My buddy Pete has a damaged right eye. He shoots a rifle righty using high rings allowing him to get his face over the stock and shoot with his left eye. there has been a time when a rifle had a high comb that the stock had to be modified.

 

AR's have a relatively low comb so high rings may work.

 

Be careful with that NC Star MK III. I sent two back and finally got a refund.
