Question: Can i remove the Red dot and it's mount?  Is this backup red dot a better configuration than putting a 45 degree  mount on the top rail of an AR?
Document: The low profile nature of the scope means that you cannot even mount the red dot at a 45 degree angle off of your rail either since the knobs on the scope block the view.The eye relief is terrible which means I had to mount the scope on the very last rail step which made it more difficult to actuate the charging handle. Likewise you cannot mount even flip up iron sights as the scope takes up the entire rail.Really loved the concept, really did not like the product.
Not a bad sight. Illuminated reticule is nearly worthless, as it makes seeing your target very difficult. Red dot mounted on top is very difficult to zero, and on my AR will not go low enough to make exact zero at 50m. If you're going to spend this kind of money, go with a Trijicon or EOTech. Ended up putting it on my Ruger 10/22.
I have no problem putting it on the gun and hitting the target! Went out today and my friend was very impressed that it was so accurate even when taking it on and off the gun so many times. The red dot however, is TERRIBLE for the AR. It may be okay for some but I hated it. However, the raised mount the red dot comes on is very useful. I put a very nice Brunton red dot scope on the NC Star mount for a great look and combo.
Just dial it back to 8.5 and your good to go. I was going to go with a nikon prostaff for $180 and then PEPR mount for the top rail $89 and then a burris red dot $50-200. Was just too much money.Edit:  took about 30 rounds to sight in scope. Held zero after sighting in. At 75yds i got 1" groups and this was my first time shooting an ar15.
However the red dot is garbage. I removedand will be replacing with something better.Edit:  I'm changing to 5 stars. We all know the red dot is garbage but still for under $200 you get a quick mount illuminated recricle scope that shoots well. I have taken off my AR for cleaning and put back on using the quick mount in 3 secs and still got one inch groups at 100 yards. I say buy it and see for yourself.
The eye relief could be a little better, and you will want to mount this as far back on your rail as possible. I set mine at T10 because of my back up iron sight. I use a Magpul Gen 2 buis that fits PERFECTLY beneath this scope. Folded it sits at .51 inches, so any BUIS with that measurement should fit beneath.After day 1, I removed the scope and took the gun home.
The scope arrived with a couple of extra batteries for the Red Dot (a nice touch). Note that if you have folding iron sights on a flattop AR you might have to remove the rear sight but with this scope you won't need it. The Red Dot makes rapid target acquisition easier than the iron sights anyway. This scope does everything it's supposed to do. This scope is unbeatable for the money. If you want a higher-priced scope with more features, then spend more money
The red dot that sits on top is useless. Overall it's a good scope at best. I got the scope a little beat up, possibly a return. I returned it paid a bit more and got a better sight
I just got this for my AR15 and it works great. One item I don't like is the red dot mounted on top I removed that and replaced with a better Red Dot. Once you get this dialed in it works great
The answer is YES. Some of the mounting screws needed to be tightened. Not a big deal at all. A couple of Allen wrenches and some purple loctite and all the hardware is perfectly secure and won't back off. In conjunction with tightening everything down correctly, I also properly adjusted the quick release system for my rail and the weaver rings for the red dot. I suppose the factory could do a better job with the hardware, but I would spend the time tweaking to match my system anyway.
Answer: yes
