Hey guys,
I´m looking for a piggyback red dot for my SPR.

The scope is a ZCO 210 and I want to mount the red dot in front of the elevation turret.
This turret is .87" high (above the scope body).

The mount is from innogun and this is how the mount clamp looks like:

This alone will be .6" high, and I have to add an adapter plate of some kind (depending on the red dot I use):

With the bottom thickness of the red dot, I´m guessing that I´m already above the turret with the lenses.


I thought about the Holosun HE509T-RP-X2 as the sight, but realized that the mounting system is a bit akward.
You have to install an adapter plate under the red dot, to fit the adapter plate of the mount, so two adapter plates would be involved and all-in-all it will make a little tower on its own.


So guys, which red dot would you choose with my scope and mount and how would you attach it to the mount?
:)
 
I am not "trying" to sell you anything, but Ive got a new in box 36mm forward cantilever Spuhr mount. I bought it for the ZCO 2-10, but never bought the scope, just thought about it when I read this post. Wasn't really looking to move it because I like to keep mounts on hand in all tube sizes, but I don't foresee using it anytime soon either. (spuhr makes top halves for red dots, a couple pics of mine below:
