Why You Should Run an Offset Red Dot ft. Jerry Miculek | Vortex Selects

[@jamesbell8730]

Have to admit Jerry is fun and brings energy to the game!

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

He is a ball of energy!

[@wildcat8598]

I like how Jerry always clearly explains everything and then makes a run that we dream of and always looks at the camera and looks at us with this shit eating grin like “y’all can do it it too, just gotta listen and get out here and do it” I feel like Jerry wants to say something like “can’t do it on the couch guys and gals” so bad but refrains from doing so😂👍👍 mans a living legend

[@cullenhopson9440]

I was my squads DM in Iraq back in the day carried an M110 sass with the 3.5-10x Leupold on it. Used to just roll the scope to the side and eyeball down the barrel like a pool cue or up close and fast shots, I am so glad people and tech have gotten to the point of offset red dots now wish we had that back then, I will be adding one to my setup in the future

[@blackbeard5273]

[@yakivpopavich]

I thought these things were kind of a novelty, but seeing videos like this shows the realistic application of it and demonstrates it's actually practical and faster than adjusting back down to 1, even with a throw arm on your optic it could never be as fast as this. Not to mention the cheek weld thing I would have never thought of until I had the issue, no wonder mounting them ontop isn't as popular. Great video, you rock Jerry!.

I've been doing some updating to my ar10 which has the 1-8 strike eagle and fought back and forth with myself about putting a offset venom on it for close quarters because I know the strike eagle has 1x at its lowest setting which is good for close quarter but also I feel the venom would allow me to move target to target faster while also seeing around me better. Then after watching the legend himself say to do it that's all I needed, just ordered my venom🤣

[@gbtapps]

Where did you find the mount for the red dot?

[@MulliganWallen]

Man i just purchased my 1st AR.. BRO and coukdnt pick between lpvo or red dot magnifier but thought ehat about a second offset and googled it and this video is 1st and amazing nice vid thank you my man

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Right on! Both would be great options. It would really come down to what you are planning on using it for and a bit of preference for that setup. If you need any recommendations, don't hesitate to reach out!🤜🤛

[@alc8479]

On paper you can make a case for a fixed mag prism scope and an offset red dot- durability, etched reticle, reticle plane doesn’t change you’re good with it, fast instant back n forth, less weight and if they manage to make a bright enough rmr with tritium n fiber optics + an acog u don’t need batteries

[@frankopanklaric]

Any one here have a problem with the turret knob partially obstructing the red dot sight picture? Thank you!

[@DoggoWillink]

I am cross eye dominant and I was wondering if anyone has tried a canted red dot (to the left) for right handed cross dominance on a shotgun (or opposite). It would allow me to use my left eye without having to close my left eye and use my right eye. Has anyone tried this? I know with rifle red dots they are high enough that I can use my left eye, but with my Mossberg 500 there is zero chance that without a sight I could use my dominant eye (and shooting lefty ain’t happening).

[@sde9023]

I'm cross-eye dominant as well and have just practiced using my non-dominant right eye with the red dot. If you are focused on the target your eyes will adjust as needed. I even have an astigmatism that blurs my red dot but if I keep my eye on the target rather than the dot, it focuses both to a functional level. Just a thought.

[@pecoscoble4686]

[@scubatron4085]

What sort of forgrip would go well with canted sights

[@mr.nobody68]

Aluminum vertical. Mine is from Troy but fuck brand names. It's hollow for storage and has O-rings to keep out water. Plus, I can remove a section to save maybe 4 ounces. But I have large hands Plus, if it's a duty gun, that heafty foregrip will give you good leverage to drive your bayonet. I've seen the plastic ones break and they're only designed to be lightweight. I prefer a MilSpec type of stock so I need someplace else to store batteries or whatever You can shoot using a C grip and the vertical grip will still give leverage to pull the gun to your shoulder. If you're rotating the gun for 45 degree sights, you wouldn't necessarily need to change your grip itself, you're just rolling your wrist

[@adrianostafford8240]

His anticipation is uncanny. He had his hands on the rifle right when the timer beeped.

[@TheReedable]

I still can't decide! I wanna do the vortex mini magnifier 3x with the vortex holographic am something or another. What do you guys think? Is long distance really necessary on an AR?

[@_Delta_P_]

it depends on what you need your AR for. if you are going to shoot under 100 yards only... no problem with a dot and mag..... target ID is very important. if you are going to ever stretch out past a couple hundred yards get an LPVO. or just have the set up he has and its an all purpose rifle.

[@desertfisherman11]

Such a beast

[@turinreza]

Is SFP better for this setup than FFP? I noticed he had his magnification at 12 o clock which is about 1/2 way up so about 4 magnificaitn out of 6. but since it's SFP the reticle is still huge and since he is not shooting very far you do not really need hold overs at this close range. But he talked about close range hold overs. would it be better to use FFP instead of SFP if he was shooting at targets over 200 yards away?

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

It really depends on application and personal preference. Realistically, if you were shooting past 200 yards with an LPVO you will be at the max magnification anyways so the subtension values would be accurate.

[@Zinkyness]

Are these made for lefty shooters as well? I feel like it would be awkward to use one of these on the right side of the weapon while left shouldered.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

You bet - you would simply flip the mount so it is facing to the opposite side.

[@Zinkyness]

@@VortexOpticsUSA I have a razor genii-e right now..is it the next logical step to put a side mounted dot on there? The zoom dial is too slow to go back and forth from long to short range.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

@@Zinkyness Awesome - if you are ever quickly transitions from medium-long range to short range an offset red dot is a great choice!

Using Jerry in optics marketing should be considered cheating the system. But yea I recently traded my Dot+Magnifier for a Vortex 1-6 SE and I shortly after added an offset dot (not a vortex, sorry guys), and well.. I got to say it is nice. I'm not sure why this is even debated anymore for anything bug a CQB specific build. The crap thing is now I want a Razor, time to start saving my pennies

Do you use an offset mount for your scope or just the 45 degree mount for the Razor red dot?

There are setups where you can run your scope at an angle, but more popular is to run the red dot on a 45 degree mount.

[@robertwadas]

I was thinking about zeroing my red dot to 7yds ( for home defense) and scope zero at 100 yards for range... good? bad?

[@MrBlahblahblee]

If it’s strictly an inside home defense gun and you’re not going to be seeing greater distances than 7 yards, that should be okay for the red dot. But at that point you’re stuck with either close range or long range with no in between. You might as well do 25 yds (or whatever close range zero is recommended for 5.56) for the red dot
