Your logic is flawed though, if you are going to offset an rds on an acog you could do it just as easily with an lpvo. I actually think it’s preferable to run an rds with an lpvo as; 1) it gives you an additional sight redundancy 2) it allows you to passively aim with NODs 3) the biggest benefit. That you don’t have to run your your lpvo at 1x magnifier, you can run it at 3-4x, use the RDS for 80m(ish) and still have the additional magnification to push out further if environment permits.
