I am a complete novice to red-dots. A couple of weeks ago Midway had a killer deal on some Bushnel Red-Dots, so I bought one. This gave me the excuse to build another AR-15.
I have a ton of experience with AR-15's, but have always used a scope or the stock iron sights. This is my 1st red-dot. I have seen a bunch of pics of AR's fitted with Red-Dots and it seems they are placed all over the top rail. I have seen them placed in the middle of the rail, all the way to the front of the rail and at all stations in between.
How do you find the "proper place" to fit your red-dot?
Thanks in advance to the collective wisdom of INGO.....
Edit-I am referring to the rail attached to the upper receiver.
