    I want to mount a red dot to the 12 o’clock position on my scope. I’m using arc rings and don’t want to switch them if possible. What are my options?
     
    Have a pic? How tall is your elevation turret? How much clearance do you have on your scope tube?

    I don’t have a picture right now, but it’s a gen 2 razor. I’m pretty sure I have about 2” of tube left from the front ring.
     
    I was able to check out a rifle with a red dot mounted on top. Wow! Beyond the practical ability to quick scope up close, it makes finding long range targets a snap.

    Yep this is exactly why I want one. Makes target acquisition so much easier.
     
    I just climbed out of this rabbit hole.
    Larue for tube, but Spuhr or ERA TAC unimounts, they also make rings, for their pic rails and height spacers. I think I like the ERA TAC better. Went with 1moa RMR. Will zero at 600 yds. Who knows, it may be a total distraction, but I already find it faster to drop into a high magnification on target.
    Very excited for 2021 season.
