Thanks for helping a neat little subreddit!
I thank you for stopping by to view our little subreddit.
While /r/aimdownsights is a bit of niche market and will likely stay very small, I think it's important to keep this archive of sight pictures and reticles alive. When you subscribe, post, comment, or just upvote something cool, you're helping to keep us active and useful.
I would like to see /r/aimdownsights become a tool that the other gun related subreddits link to and reference when someone wants to know a little more about a future purchase, compare BUIS, or learn about different reticles.
As such, I have a couple of requests:
We're fine with pictures that you found, links to websites that have comparisons, or forum mega threads, but I ask that you leave a description in title or comments to help with searching.
For content that is yours (e.g. pictures of your sights, diagrams you've made) please mark with a [OC] tag in the title so we know it's original content.
I would like to add simple flair to submitters to indicate they've posted original content. So if you've submitted OC, shoot me a PM with the /r/aimdownsights link (that's all I need); otherwise I'm going to poke through our posts over the next week and just guess. PM me if you don't want flair.
Crosspost your albums! This is one of the easiest ways for you to help us archive sight pictures.
Everything has been great so far; thank you again.

Remington 870 Bead Sight
Bead sights sorta suck and if I cared more about this platform, I have an optic and backup hard sights. It's not a matter of speed or sight picture, but the inability to zero. With cost and utilization in mind, I’m thinking more zeroed laser saddle with bead as the backup.
I've already memorized hold and sight picture for this gun, which shoots right of bead and low if you cut bead in half like you're SUPPOSED to do; it's dead on if you pedestal the bead, which is NOT what you're supposed to do.
I don't think that's a good way to teach people HD when you have limited time with them, whereas pistol sights and ghost rings on a shotgun can be drifted and rifle sights, lasers, and optics can actually be zeroed.
I concede to the dominating damage a shotgun brings to home defense but I am still not a power user so much as I am with a pistol or carbine; I like a platform that allows for precise shots, more predictability at distance, and reasonable suppression. Still, I wanted to learn to run a shotgun more fluidly so I can better serve my clients.
Please ignore the parts where I keep nearly burning my hand with a carbine hold. I put this gun together in like 2011 and after some training, it lay dormant until 2025.

Meet MADAM
Mountain Apocalypse Daddy’s Astigmatism Musket.
PWS Mod-1 MK116 upper/Aero M4E1 lower, Advocate Gideon on Flip Defense XL Mount in front of TA31 100288 ( BDC calibrated for 16 inch barrel/M193)
Love this set up. My astigmatism is bad, so prisms it is.
Love Gideon Advocate’s reticle. Zeroed for 50 yards. Base of the triangle can be used to estimate 50 yards per same 19 inch shoulder width as with ACOG.
ACOG is zeroed at 100 pet BDC calibration.
Advocate works really great as “pointer” for ACOG for items at 100+.
However, thinking of going with Shaffer mount for ACOG. To lighten things up and making bombproof mount with 3 screws vs 2 that all other ACOG mounts use. Any Shaffer mount ACOG shooters here ?

Mini-ACOG to Picatinny?
Anyone know of a Mini Acog to picatinny adapter? I have an AK side mount left over but don't have the optic anymore, looking to put it to use somehow

Traded my buddy a radian afterburner and 400 for a Trijicon tr24. How bad did I get screwed?
Its my first nice piece of glass and I have it sitting on my mk18 replacing my xps 2 on a unity riser. Honestly debating whether for the sub 800 range I could've gotten something way better and the scopes an outdated pice of shit I paid the brand new price for etc. Wanted to hear your guys opinions on the trade.
For the price and use case, could I have gotten something that much better or for that price range its one of the better Ivpo's for a 10.3?
Im looking to hear from people who have actually handled one

Some AimCam 4K Testing - RMR Type 2
Trying to make this a serious training and content creation tool, but it needs some tweaks to exposure (software option) and audio desync (firmware update) that I had to adjust in editing. Still a lot of testing to do for driving, fishing, and shooting. Not YT-vlog-ready yet, but still cool.
Seems like I can get partial view of dot on target if I have head tilted downward. Positioning the camera any lower would occlude my right eye. As it is now, I can see clearly beneath it and through it squarely using bino vision. I think if I had an optic taller than an RMR 2, the camera would be able to see the dot on target most of the time.
ETA: the setup for those that asked - https://www.reddit.com/r/aimdownsights/s/dQU7Ij6oxG
Top video is the 5th portion of the FBI qual, and bottom video is the 1st portion. This was described as "FBI Hard Mode" due to scoring with the B-8 vs. the entire coke bottle of the QIT-99

A bit of a nitpick
Don’t know if anyone has seen this before but I have a 407c x3 and decided to get another one in gold. The gold seems to be missing a small chunk out of the dot (yes I cleaned the emitter). Not the end of the world but makes it look lopsided like people describe having astigmatism. Had to make sure it wasn’t my eyes so took a picture.
Still going on a Glock 45 gonna shoot it because it shouldn’t make any real difference.
