1x-4x Power Short Dot on an AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!

I have a 5.56 Ak that I use as my goto Gun and I think I could get more out of it in the long run if it had a powered optic.

Has anybody tried this yet?

You're thinking of mounting a Short Dot on an AK?

Interesting - how would you go about mounting it? BTW, I personally think it's a waste, but do as you like.

I've been wanting to mount a Millet DMS 1-4x on the dust cover rail on my Kreb's KTR-03S, but I don't know how high it will need to be to clear the AR style rear sight. This red dot seems to be the hot setup for 3 gun competitions because of the 5-200 yard setup of my local club on most stages, bunch of the AR's are using it and it retails for just over $200. My EOTech work great but needs a little magnification sometimes.

I wonder if I could mount it just ahead of the rear sight to keep it low but still work with the eye relief?

Found some pics on the net:

IMHO a magnified optic greater than, say 1.5x can really be utilized much more effectively by an AR platform.

I think nearly all AK applications would be best served by a 1x red dot or at the most a 1.5x ACOG....

My AK has the mount on the side and I was thinking of using some mount with a pic base and mount a 1x-4x Nightforce to that.

Wouldn't this put it ridiculously high over the bore? Just like anything else attached to those scope mounts?

Cool. Most expensive scope ever mounted to an AK... ever.

LOL I had a Trijicon TA31 RCO mounted on my SLR-106 just for fun. Never shot it mounted though, it was way off set to the right. I used one of those low profile mounts made in Belarus. It looked way out of place....

I thought it, glad someone else said it though. ;p
