I agree with ATY and Vec. Grasshopper, what you are saying does not make sense.
I'm not reading from studies. Nor others experience on a red dot. I can offer my idea behind it but it's up to interpretation. I've used a red dot exclusively in a very trying environment. I've had a red dot up close to far out. I'm fully aware that the red dot superimposes to the less dominant eye. The sight as it's has been stated...disappears.
Having the sight close provided me with a stronger concentration point vs the sight being farther away. I personally like to engulf my point of view to the target within the tube of the sight. I want to look through it as if it was reading glasses. I like my sights close.
Make sense? Does to me.
I mount mine as far forward on the receiver as possible. I don't want it interrupting my field of view.
When you get the flip magnifier you'll have to mount it all the way forward. Those mounts offset forward like that to make room for the magnifier.this is where I have it mounted. eventually I want to get a flip up magnifier this is the purpose of the question.

Thank you. I bought it in 09 with the factory OD Green stock, took about four months longer to get green over a black stock. Then the Archangel came out a couple of years later and so bought that in black as it was the only color available. I still had the factory green top hand guard cover so I was good. Then a couple of years after that I randomly saw the stock was available in green so I ordered another one. Never like the scout scope type location so went looking for rails. Not many options and I refuse to buy Troy Ind. parts so the VLTOR it was.She's purdy
I checked the Springfield website, they don't show that stock as an option anymore. I think yours looks better than the options now.
