FF3 How far from face?

Post by tr3y0248 »

for those of you running a FF3 (3 MOA) how far forward or back on the receiver do you like to run your sight? just curios.

I have a picatinny rail running the full length of my receiver ( 870 youth with tactical style adjustable stock). can't quite make up my mind where I want to tighten her down.

All of mine are as far forward as possible. Blocks less of my peripheral vision that way...

As far back as I can get it, increasing the field of view through the sight. So I guess you are just going to have to try it and lock it down where it seems best to you.

These small 1X reflex sights were designed for multiple purposes including pistol use which obviously requires extended arms with distances from the eyeballs farther than a rifle or shotgun mount. We've adapted them for our purposes. Whatever distance is comfortable for the shooter is the right distance. I've yet to hear an account of a miss because the sight was too far or too close to the shooter's eyeball. The first I hear will be entered into the multi volume set of Turkey Hunter Excuses Illustrated. Gil
