Feets / Collection / My build Broke the 10/22 build in

Went to the range the other day and went through a few hundred rounds. One failure to fire on the first couple mags, that was it. Ran like a sewing machine.

Only had the red dot but was keeping it inside the x ring at 36 yards, which was not a limitation of the barrel, but my skill. Very fun little carbine.

I have a stupid question. Why is the optic so far forward? Thanks in advance

Not a stupid question. It’s all preference. But with red dots you are supposed shoot with both eyes open, so field of view staring through the optic is not happening. Because of this, the further forward it’s placed the less the optic is in your way visually. Your other open eye provides the field of view, so to speak, if that makes any sense.
