How do you like your red dots, close to your eyes or far up on the rail? I am putting a Romeo 5 on a Ruger 9mm Carbine. As long as I get it out of the way of the bolt handle, does it really make much of a difference?
I like them as far forward as practical. Less tube effect.

What is the "tube effect"?
Thanks,
This. Less like looking thru a tube, with all the vision impairment that brings for both eyes. I have never noticed any issue finding the dot. The whole idea of dot optics is not looking at the dot, focus on what you want to shoot, dot just overlays fairly naturally/intuitively.This isn’t the greatest pic, but as you move the unit closer to your head, you lose more of the vision around it and only see “what’s in the tube”...”tunnel vision”. I think that’s what he’s saying is tube effect.
