The mount would obstruct the view through the factory sights and the rds itself would be to high for the cheek riser or cheek piece or colm or... Not sure what you call that part of the stock?

Its not the dot itself that's the problem. It's the metal frame of the rds Vortex system its self

So the further forward I mount the RDS. The bigger the dot gets? Its a 3moa dot now and I feel its a little to big.

I'm not familiar with the VCOG.

A larger window will help the 3moa. The smaller glass is distracting. The smaller windowed optics are fine (to me) at no more than arm's length. Any further out I get a bigger glass.

it's the lpvo variation of an acog (not entirely accurate).

It looks like the forward picatinny rail is the exact hight as the mount on the striper clip guide. Heck I don't know?

use a straight edge or level and lay across the top of front and rear sight to check space.It looks like the forward picatinny rail is the exact hight as the mount on the striper clip guide. Heck I don't know?

maybe use the edge of your bench if it's straight enough?

Hmmmmm? Well, even if the RDS is on the forward picatinny rail vs where it is now. I think its definitely closer to the eye than an arms length. I think the RDS came with a picatinny rail mounting plate. I still have the factory box it came in . If so, I'll see if it makes a difference mounted further forward.

Replace the factory scout mount with a light, cool running scout hand guard imported from Canada from M14.ca The SHG allows you to mount optics as low as possible, low enough that you can co-witness your iron sights through some red dots.
