a collage of rds mounting info

[TEXASforLIFE]

trying to keep up with various brands and footprints i've found these too be helpful. hopefully these will answer any questions about what you need per optic. i saved these sites for faster referencing if i need. since i ordered the eflx it won't mount on a rmr, but the rfx35 will. hopefully the optic sits/mounts back far enough the ejecting brass won't hit the lens, thus the reason for not mounting the rso on the m/p.
