need to off set a mrds on this.......
thees are not my pics but my situation is similar. i need to mount a red dot to a vltor casv-14 m14 rail system as a back up short range sighting system to the massive and obstructive premier heritage 34mm scope that is 0on top of my rail. my concern id the vltor casv rail is not the same shape as our ar15 platform rail systems it is a bit wider and has a bit more meat in between the side rails and top rails. im worried about a metal on metal collision when trying to mount a 1o'clock off set mount or using something like a 45 degree from the top rail. the amount of hours i have spent researching this is downright embarrassing.....and still no answers. so i am asking you guys. if you have alot of off set red dot experience please help and pictures are very welcome so that maybe i can get some ideas. i was originally going to use a scope ring red dot sight mount but wanted it closer to the bore hence all the 45 degree pic rail adapters and 1o'clock off set mounts. mounts i have considered......dd 1o'clock, trijicon rmr 45 degree, burkett, ext ext.....

right there....check out the shape of the metal in between the side rail and top rail....that is my concern. im worried the shape of the rail with obstruct mounting solutions.

Re: help me off set this red dot!!!!!!!

I'm in pittsbugh pa. Thank you that was kind. I also should say.... I am left handed so any mounting solution need to able to reverse to the left side.
 
Re: help me off set this red dot!!!!!!!

I just picked-up a Vortex PST 4-16, beautiful scope and exactly what I was looking for....but my T-1 clone (primary arms) on my offset LaRue mount is now very well obstructed by the windage turret. I know there are T-1 mounts that mount off of the scope tube..perhaps that would work for you?

Good luck,
TomK

Didn't want to give up on this so I swapped the optic around and mounted it up on the 3 o'clock rail. Works perfect!!!
