Most likely the SPARC will not cowitness even if the T-1 does. The SPARC emitter is at the bottom of the tube, not the 3:30 of the T-1.

yeah, I know this mount, it´s kinda expensive in Czech Republic and reviews are bit mixed, that the mount doesn´t fit all that well to Czech made recievers.

Horse is correct. I checked my cz forum guys, most say no cowitness on Sparc, though one said he adjusted the front and rear sight higher so that it would work. I would imagine this is a far from ideal solution if you adjust your irons for elevation.
Thats a shame that the NEA rail in the Czech Republic has mixed reviews, I don't think I've seen a negative one here. I wonder what the difference is between the domestic Czech receivers and exported ones are since the majority of the ones in Canada and all the Czechpoint/D-technic ones in the US are Czech made.

We have our domestic GunExpert company working on Vz 58 mounts, their stuff is great. It was meant to serve as official army upgrade set for Vz 58 series rifle, but since our army orders are heavily corrupted, their is no chance for them to sold it to army.... www.sa58.cz/products/duralove-predpazbi-expert/Price is kinda heavy... |

After having run an Aimpoint M-68 in RS Product's AKM mount at a recent class, I have to say that there is still a place for an RDS on my AK in certain situations. However, I still believe that it is not absolutely a requirement for every clime and place, as others would wont to believe.
The problems are how much of an increase in combat capability are you going to get, in your particular situation, and how sustainable is the technology you have chosen, especially long-term without support.
Most of the weapons, equipment, and tactics used today are offensive in nature and maybe not be entirely suitable for our purposes.
Also, I think it's easy to fall into the trap of fighting like a gov't agency, which has a huge infrastructure to support it's weapons and equipment. Take that away and can you still use it?
I look at red dot sights as the "gateway drug" for all the other add-on doo-dads that will likely be added to your rifle. Not necessarily bad but certainly leads to rails, lights, etc. Yes I am joking - a little.
Ask yourself if you truly need avery add-on doo-dad on your rifle. Shoot a rock-stock "field grade rifle" in training as compared to a rifle with additions such as the RDS. If you find that you truly need these additions, then by all means, use them. If not in, every case, consider carrying them as tools in the tool box, rather than as always required equipment.

Diz: You have a point. I do think this way to. I don´t really like all those red dots and so on... As you sad - if you have to run long time without support... Ok but - will the red dot sight increase my survival chance in combat? According to my experience it will help me a lot. If civilization or just supply lines to stores are gone, how long I will be able to use it with batteries I have stocked? Well, for some time sure... But then what? Well, living in urban enviroment, I will leave at some point and take my chance in forrests and well in forrests I would do much more hiding and less shooting, I will engade my targets only when danger would be iminent, so the range would be for sure 100m or less and on those I can hit with my ironsights just fine...
Well, but enhancing your irons by optic fiber or just painting it with luminous paint used on wristwatch - I would recommend LümTec pigment, which glows really nice - would not hurt at all.

Sometimes you have control of the rifle at all times, other times you don't. Take the red dot off and keep it with you, slap it back on and have RTZ each time. Perfect point Diz. |

I REALLY like the ability to easily remove and reinstall it on the weapon. |
