Thats exactly what I'm talking about, I just dont know the proper term for these types of mounts. 3 gun matches, pistool, shotgun, & carbine of sorts. there are long & short shots in various set ups so I figured this type of mount & optic to go with it might be great. I have seen very few of these only in the magazines so I have never been able to ask how one would work with a Swiss arms black or green & how do they feel cause you have to tilt your firearm. Thanks in advance.
I thought that's what you meant by "three gun" but am not up on the different match terminologies.
I can't foresee a problem rolling or tilting the firearm, like any method it would take practice to be proficient.
The Sabre fellows use this technique to great effect in matches, albeit using irons mounted at 45º, not optics.
The mount I'm looking at (
see here) is an angled dovetail mount made by Yankee Hill Machine Co.
Unless you are using a flattop Swiss Arms you are unlikely to fit anything larger than this on the top rail in conjunction with an optic.
Since it has only 3 rail sections (4 lands & 3 grooves) it is really only suitable for a light or laser.
I plan on using it mounted to the top rail in front of my ACOG, there should be just enough room.
Perhaps you could mount something like an Aimpoint T-1, but I don't know how much rail space they need.
Keep us updated if you work anything out, likewise I'll post my results once I get my setup running.
Cheers!
