High Mount Optics on Rifles?
Instruction from professional firearms instructor Mark Smith on the utility and potential drawbacks of high optic mounts on rifles. While acknowledging specific use cases like NVG compatibility, Smith argues that arbitrary height increases can negatively impact precision at distances beyond 7 yards, particularly during unsupported or barricade shooting. He contrasts high-end mounts like the GBRS Group Hydra with budget options, emphasizing the need for functional justification over perceived trends.
