I have the Aimpoint Pro on top of my new SOCOM II... I had to remove the spacer to bring it lower to the rail. It's still high up which will not let you have any cheek weld. I don't want to change out the stock. I like it as is. But that's one prob.

 

My other prob is that even though the mount for the Pro is awesome, there is no see through on the bottom. I'd like to be able to use the iron sights when need to but don't want to have to remove the Pro to do so. I know this is trivial at best, but I'm all for the ease and ability to have the best of both worlds with minimal or no effort.

I've found small picatinny rail see through mounts from like G&P that are about 15 bux. They actually look similar to the spacer that I took out except it is see through and has the rail on top to remount the Pro.

This brings back the height prob again. It's like a catch 22. I don't want to raise it back up again because it's already too tall as is without the spacer.

Is there any solution to this?

I thought the Pro absolute co-witnessed with the QRP2 mount? How's your cheek weld with irons? If you're irons are good, the dot should be too. Worst case could you put a cheek riser on your stock?

I was thinking a cheek riser on the stock as well. Maybe something nice, like on the Garand Sniper guns (M1D?).

With irons, it's fine. But the irons stare at the bottom of the Pro mount. Way too high. Which I'm thinking only a see through or cheek riser would resolve it. But some of the cheek risers are nothing more than strapped on bean bags. Hell with that. I'd like to have something adjustable. There is one of those, but you have to drill through the stock to attach it. Not sure I want to drill anything yet. Blackhawk has one that looks pretty fair but it doesn't indicate any heights. Ugh.Kinda thinking I need about a 2" rise or so.

Ugly and only in tan from what I can see.

Here is the Blackhawk one. Looks decent.

What stock are you using?

Heh, the Stock, Stock... Factory...

 

What stock are you using?

I completely overlooked the fact that it's an M1..oops

 

On that note, why are you going with a dot? I know it doesn't fix your problem but, I'm just curious.

Reviews, people switching from eotechs back to aimpoint as far as brand. Wanted something with quick acquisition better than the iron sights. Might also go for a conventional scope later.

The iron sights are tough on that gun. They are extremely low to the top rails. Regardless that the front is suppose to be quick acquisition, the dang thing is terrible to do quick anything. Thats basically the jist of it.

I dont know if you solved your problem but, I was just looking through the CDNN catalog and on the very last page was a 1" see-through mount that looked pretty low-pro. Just a heads up.

It may.... not sure till I get it to the range first. Have to see how high the rear sight will go at 100 yards or so. The problem is the way the rail is grooved out so the sight at it's lowest can see through the rail. Any mount that has a bolt through it will not work because it cuts across the groove of the rail. I have a snapshot somewhere... I can show you what I mean... but cant find it...

No worries... Will just remove it when necessary.. Was just trying to find a simple solution...
