Title: Help deciding Venom mounting position
Post by: RiverRoost on March 12, 2019, 11:42:51 PM
I've got a Vortex Venom 3moa on the way for my SX3 Longbeard edition that came with the Picatinny rail standard and need some tips on what to look for as far as how far in or out to mount the Venom on the Picatinny.  Thanks for the input and looking forward to this sight

Personal preference.  Move it around hntil you like the feel, sight picture and how it looks to you.

It doesn't really matter. It's mostly personal preference like you said. For me I seem to like mine best from the middle of the picatinny rail to the back of the rail toward the stock. I have my TruGlo Tru-Brite mounted on my 870 in the middle. On a Weatherby SA-459 I just sold I had an Ultra Dot mounted all the way back on the rail toward the stock.
