Rifle Scopes Red dot on M1A: fore or aft?

Re: Red dot on M1A: fore or aft?

I had a SOCOM II that I mounted both an Aimpoint ML 3 and then an EoTech 552 on. I liked the Eotech 552 better because of the 1 MOA dot even though the battery life is shorter. I mounted it just in front of the receiver. Worked out well or me until the day I sold the weapon.
