Let's assume we're not constrained by manufacturers' pre-drilled scope mount locations or lack thereof and can mount a red dot sight on our shotgun wherever we wish. Not realistic, I know.
Given the infinite eye relief of a red dot, where would you mount yours and why?
My limited experience has been to place the sight as far from my eye as practical. Allows me to more readily leave both eyes open and the housing obscures less of the target. Hence, I have better downrange vision and retain peripheral vision from my right eye (as a right-handed shooter).
However, I see more mounts closer to the shooter's face than I do in mid to distal mounts like mine. What am I missing out on???
