I have a DD fixed rear sight and aimpoint micro t-1 on one of my rifles now and I can’t quite get used to having the fixed rear sight there. With time will my eyes adjust so it seems like the rear sight isn’t there.
I am looking at the dot not through the optic also…
I believe that could be your issue. When using the red dot focus on the target not the dot.
On the next note, are you running it absolute co witness or a 1/3 cowitness? A 1/3 might bring your head up over the irons so that they are not in yourvision unless you want them to be.
No. It will always be there, you just may just get used to it and notice it less. Its the same idea as thinking if you use the RDS enough the RDS housing will disappear. You just get used to it. It’s physically impossible to have it completely disappear as one eye is still seeing it no matter what.
Just get a flip up sight if it bothers you that much.
DERP! I meant to say target not dot…
1/3 Its a T-1 one in a DD mount
Thanks thats the plan if it does indeed bother me that much, too soon to tell…
Those DD fixed rears are really big and obnoxious. Can’t believe people use them. I’d dump that sight and get a different fixed. Or even a folding rear. If your stuck with the DD I’d flip the peep in between the small and large
How is this helpful to the OP?
The op has a really big fixed rear an wants to know if his eyes will adjust so it seems like it isn’t there. That’s not happening. But you could get a folding rear like someone already mentioned.
While I would agree with the folding sight, that won’t fix the OP’s real issue here.
Focus should be on the target, looking through the dot.
This is a software issue not a hardware issue.
I removed my DD fixed sight and simply installed a folding BUIS. Problem solved
Visual data is heavily filtered/edited/filled-in by the brain.
When the subconscious mind realizes that the information about the rear sight is not needed while looking through the optic with both eyes open, the sight will virtually disappear.
Short answer: repetition is the solution.
What do you mean by this statement?
It was a typo, see post #4. He focuses on the target.
So, “I am looking at the target, not through the optic.”?
Wtf does that mean?
Focusing on the target, and not the red dot?
Superimpose the red dot over the target.
You are not supposed to have a hard focus on the red dot when using an RDS.
It seems that he tried to say that he didn’t look at the target through the tube of the optic, but instead focused on the dot. He corrected himself and meant that he looks at the target through the tube, and I assume superimposes the dot over the target.
yeah i put the mbus on day 2…
Yes this exactly what I meant…
Good info- this is exactly what i was wondering. For the time being I do prefer the mbus.
Just curious but is the OP running any front sight? What kind?
-BTO-
Yes. Fixed front sight- it’s a DDM4 V2 upper.
I run a RDS on my 6920 also and the fixed front site has never bothered me at all.
