For those that use a red dot alongside a magnified optic, do you prefer to mount it straightline above the optic or canted to the side? (lemmy.world)

So I got to screw around with a TA02 ACOG with the forward mounted rmr dot on top and I was actually able to use it by canting the rifle. Let's see if I can explain it in a way that makes sense!

Looking down the acog with my right eye as usual. If I want to switch to the dot I can cant the rifle so the optic rotates slightly towards my left eye. The red dot on the top of the ACOG goes from over top of my right eye and pivots down to meet my left. Now I am aiming using my left eye and the dot without moving my cheek from the stock/buffer.

Now this makes things real weird when it comes to understanding your zero and general ballistics but it's an option if I am going back and forth between acog and red dot quickly. But I have not messed with it enough to say if I actually LIKE that method
