I have a Vortex Viper on my AR10, and I seem to have a lot of trouble with my sight picture. I have to get so far down on the stock that my glasses are pressing into it, and when I go to the scope I have to do a lot of fore-and-aft to get the sight picture. And all this is at minimum zoom. When I crank it up, I'm looking all over the place to acquire a decent sight picture.
As I've said elsewhere, I'm relatively new to optics (having been an irons man for almost sixty years) and I honestly don't know if this is a problem with the scope, its position on the rail, the lack of drop on the stock comb, my inexperience, or some factor of which I haven't even yet thought.
Have I given enough information for a diagnosis? I'd really appreciate some help. Understand now that I can get a sight picture -- it just seems like I'm having to work too hard and make too many adjustments with this particular setup. By comparison, I have no problem at all acquiring a quick picture on the red dot on my PCC or the Strike Eagle on my AR15.
TIA for any help!!!
