I got my 995 carbine this week. It has a BSA Red Scope installed on it.

I have attached an image for everyone to view.

Figure A shows how the red dot is currently setup.
Figure B is my idea of how it is suppose to be setup.

Do I adjust the elevation knob to bring the red dot lower toward the bottom of scope to meet front sight on Figure B or do I leave the adjustment the way it is in Figure A.

Never had a red dot scope on a gun before so I was curious about how some of you adjusted your Hi Point carbine with a red dot scope.

Thanks



Your advice is appreciated.

Just get yourself a laser boresighter , pick a distance you would like to have it sighted in at and line up the dots. Then fine tune it. I have used and done it this way many a times. It works just fine.

One of these will work just fine.

When I have used a Red DOt on my M995 and my M17S Bushpup, I simply use the dot centered, and adjust it to shoot dead-on a fifty yards with the dot centered. Neither rifle has a front sight.

Front sight does not come into play with most red dot systems. I removed the front sight and installed a barrel shroud on my carbine, because after installing the red dot it is no longer needed.

yea i did the same as mosineer. the front sight probably wont line up with the dot. i just took it off and got the ventilated barrel shroud.

Very true mossbergman. Always carry spare batteries in my gun case. The point being if you use a red dot you don't use the front sight to sight it in...
