do you have to put your chin on top of the stock to see through the scope? can you get a good cheek weld? is it comfortable? is the mount solid?

The mount is super solid. Shooting the nagant with this requires no special face positioning. Remember..... You need a LONG EYE RELIEF scope to maintain the face position you want

i didnt nor did my son shoulder the gun any differently with this mount. it's vary strong & seems to handle the recoil of the 7.62x54 well, with the added feature of still being able to use the iron sights.

It does sit high so your chin is up a bit, I never got hurt or anything, but a typical [read as "proper"] cheek weld is out of the question with the original military stock. youll want a stock with a higher comb. the mount itself is very solid, you'll want to use loctite on the nuts though.

No, the cheek weld is fine but my stock sits higher (richards microfit tackdriver) I did have to get shorter scope rings. Its comfortable to shoot no worrying about poking your eye out with the recoil. Solid? no I am having problems maintaining my zero. Because this mounts over the rear sight not all rear sights are the same size and when its 100yds out a little play is a lot of difference. Also I cannot bring the sight down far enough because this sits so high, I just used a lower mil-dot to zero it. It will take some work and investigation but you can get this to be a solid and functioning mount.

I haven't noticed placing my chin on top of the stock with this product, because of the bolt placement on this rifle you are limited to an eye relief sscope. That being said a good cheek weld has not been an issue for me with this product since you have space between your face and the scope. As far as the mount be in solid I would say it is a quality product, made wWelland attaches very easily. I would definitely recommend a thread locker on both the scope and mount of this rifle since the recoil does shake things loose. It will prevent you from having to re tighten and re sight your scope all of the time.

Medium mounts. You will want the scope as close to the stock as you can get. So you can get a perfect check weld to the stock for maximum accuracy

This mount will work on any AR with or without a front site tower. The scope will not see the front sight assembly unless it is extremely low magnification. You do not want to be over the front sight tower as the cheek weld will be almost impossible to achieve also alignment of bore and center of optics will not allow the scope to be zeroed properly.

It has cowitnessed great on both my ARs, one with a fixed front sight and another with a BUS flip up on a block. Holds up well to .223. Looks like holding up well with ~300 rounds through an AR in 7.62 as well. These are good sights for the $$. I worried alot about co-witnessing at first, but I found that once I get it sighted I just need to bear down on the rifle and put the dot on the target and it is on. I do not try and ensure it co-witnesses before I fire, but if I do put the dot on the very top of the front sight post it is also on the money. I actually use it with the front sight down on the one rifle now (after sighting it) and it is golden...

For the money go with an EoTech. I returned my MEPROLIGHT because the mounting didn't feel solid, even after adjustment. Maybe I got a bad one who knows. I already spent the money to swapped it out for a Aimpoint T1 micro and haven't looked back since. But to answer your question, I felt it sat to high on the rail.

Yes I have that setup and like it. However you cannot access the sight adjustment lock screws on the sight when it is mounted with the supplied hex wrench. I had to leave the lock scews loose, mount the sight and sight it in, then take the sight off lock the screws and the remount the sight. If I had a wrech with a shorter arm I could lossen and tightent the lock screws while the scope is mounted.

I installed it on the Magpul version of the 870 (synthetic fore end and stock) with no issue on the receiver as intended. Took a while to "loosen" up the individual shell holders (just load/unload it a bunch), but it works great now. Retention seems to be spot-on. If you bought extended bolts/hardware I would imagine you could mount directly to the stock, but I didn't do it this way, and I would think it might be kind of awkward.

I'm not clear what it is you're asking. I found the optic ok as is to picany rail. If you need to raise the optic higher, then that depends on you, i.e. Your eye level to rail.
575927
Well the rail is low, but you cannot see the iron sights like it said in the ad. I never put it on the gun, so I never got to the ring phase. I suspect any would work, it just a matter of your cheek weld and what is most comfortable.

It puts it at perfect eye level.Once you find your "cheek" position it very quick. Now I personally don't run BUIS sights on my 300blk rifle so not sure if those will line up, however; I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Mine came mounted; but then again, when *I* got it, the blister pack had already been cut open. It wasn't new, so I cannot guarantee that. ------ Personally, I took it off after 3 weeks. It was easier to range targets with the iron sights (trusting the red dot at different distances does not work, BB's fly in a REAL arc, and pellets less so, but, it is still either rising or falling - I believe the arc is about +4 inches, and point blank is at about 12-14 yards). If you keep the dot sight on it, mount it *forward* on the pistol "slide", it makes cocking it easier. You do not want to be smashing your dotsight to close the pistol for a shot. And the "green fishing line" F.O.'s work well. Even for my girls, age 8 and 10. --------- ps, great little plinker for accuracy. ---------- for FUN shooting, i got the umarex colt defender. all metal, 1.5 lbs like the real one, only CO2 for BB's, so it sucks for accuracy, if you want to get closer than 8" at 36 ft. but it is fun to plonk 16 shots in 6 seconds, without the pumping and loading. -------- Don't worry about it being installed, that should not be a deal breaker. I bought it cause it was about 5 bucks more, so the plan was to put it on something else anyways. It's just a pellet gun, so all you do is screw it on to the rails, I doubt the acronym MOA ever came up in the engineering discussions. you have to zero all sights for your environment, anyways, so just get it, and go film your new tv series "Squirrel Commander"! --------- Have FUN.

I am using this mount on that rifle and the top edge of the front sight is about at the centerline of the scope. But you can't see the front sight through the scope when looking at distant objects because its so out of focus its hardly even a blur.
1638924
Only ok. I tried mounting it at 45 degrees but it is so small that the dot is hard to pick up quickly. It would probably work better mounted to a scope so you just have to move your head up a little without really moving your cheek weld.

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

It might mount but the scope would not be high enough to properly align with your eye. On flat top AR's you need higher rings so that with a proper cheek weld on the straight AR stock your eye is behind the scope. Normal rifle stocks have some drop in the stock...AR's do not.

it is the eye relief that is the issue. use a pistol scope or buy the Rock solid industries mosin mount. must be drilled and tapped
1891422
mine is mounted on a ruger 10-22 so I was not too concerned about eye relief, it seems normal enough, and is perfectly suited for the purpose. though for more expensive/ higher powered firearms, I would probably upgrade
