NM0 586 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Picked up a Vortex Crossfire II 2x7 on sale with additional discount for the KV-04S mount I bought from Captain Hero. Bobbed back of the mount some to move it forward. Eye relief seems fine and the set up isn't too high that I have to dramatically raise my head. I wanted to be able to see 100ish yards/meters clearly and this will do the job. Playing around with it outside I can identify across the fields and roads next to me. Looking forward to dialing it in soon. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigChongus 765 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 This is not helping the current itch I have to go plum on mine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Shot 1,287 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Looks good. Unless you got a face like a horse I see a cheek riser in your future. Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I can get a nice cheek/chin-weld on my red dot and it sits higher than his scope. Nice looking setup. You must have long arms. I'm surprised to see the added (1 inch) recoil pad. Edited February 15, 2014 by Sim_Player 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks for the complements. I've been doing low cheek/high chin weld trying to find a sweet spot. Will see how it works once I start firing it. My arms aren't long. It's a Warsaw length stock. The pad makes LOP about 13.25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Shot 1,287 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've never put optics on any of my AK pattern riffles. The yugo m77/m90 deserves to have one but I haven't been in the right place at the right time to find a correct zrak for it yet. I do like the look of that. With my eyes going the way they are I might just look into it. Curious to see how you like it. Is that really your first scope? Got bags and a steady bench to rest up on and get er zeroed in? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Is that really your first scope? Got bags and a steady bench to rest up on and get er zeroed in? Yup my first one. Red dot on the other 5.45 and my Mini Draco. Eyes aren't what they used to be. It's hard to make out what is going on past 25 yards with good clarity. The 2x7 will do the job I'm needing. Have to make a bench. Been using the handrail of a foldout stepping stool to site in the other rifles at 25 yards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Nice. Rifle looks great. Glad to see the mount go to good use. Def. let us know how it shoots. I dont think Ive seen much results with a scoped 5.45. Most optics I see are RDS/Reflex sights. When I ran that mount on my SGL31 it was more of a mid chin weld than anything. It wasnt that bad for me, and wasnt a problem with a little use. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Bobbed the rail once again. Cut a total of 11/16" off the rear bringing the scope forward 3/4" giving me an eye relief of 3.25" to 3.5". I really like where it is at now. No distortion and my head is on the stock like normal, with just a bit higher cheek weld. Next step is build a bench to dial her in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Got an update on how she shoots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Got an update on how she shoots? Sadly no. Been super busy working on a grant and a few other things. By looking at the dates in this post I just realized it's been over a month since I shot anything. Very disappointing. Going to have to sneak out after work or something soon. The weather is getting nicer everyday (except for spring winds). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breid1970 327 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have a TRS-25 red dot on mine, sadly for me it does not matter what moa dot I use it all looks like a giant star burst a direct result of a bad Astigmatism. Getting older is not helping either. I will soon be switching to a 2-7 or 1x9 in the very near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
