Hi, I'm new. This site is a wealth of information and I'm glad I found it.
I restored a Saiga 7.62 that came out very well. But, the more I read, the more I realized I wanted a 5.45. Everything I read about the Tantal was good. I sold my Saiga, and found a very nice Interarms Tantal built on a Nodak receiver. I fired it for the first time last Saturday, and I am very pleased with the rifle. With that said, I need optics. Preferably an Eotech. As you all know, there is no mount on the Tantal. As far as I have researched there are 3 alternatives:
1.) A beryl type mount
2.) An Ultimak mount
3.) The Larue Iron Dot
Do any of you have experience with any of the mount systems listed above? I understand the Ultimak will require some work, but I'm not sure how much. I have been told the Larue sight is back ordered by months. I will use the beryl type if that is my only option, but it is not my first choice.
Any suggestions.
