Jason, what do you mean by machined in sight channel? Do you have a pic? The bases I've got have a matching boss to the sight channel on the gun to lock it in when it screws down.

Here's a link to the original offering from Freedom. Notice on the lower pictures how the site base has a notch machined into the base so that with the sight removed it can function as a rear site. www.gunblast.com/Freedom-Trijicon.htm |

The new one I ordered last summer didn't have the "iron sight channel".
They had a good idea and I think that they quit doing it to speed up manufacturing.

Gotcha. I have seen one of those a long time ago. I didn't care for it because you had no field of view down on the bottom. With the sight blade, it seemed to fill the slot up to me.

Could you file out the notch?

Possibly but I've not seen another one. I'll ask around.
The sight trough model was for the old style Trijicon. There weren't any for the RMRs made that I'm aware of. Do you have a newer RMR?

The RMR that I have is a new model... didn't realize that the different models have it's own mounting bracket.
Good too know!
Did your mount show up in the mail? Have you sighted in the gun yet?

It's here on the bench with two others. Haven't had a chance to fool with it yet. The Deltapoint on it is ready and sighted in and I haven't wanted to tear it apart before season ends next week in case I get a chance to hunt this week by some crazy miracle!

The new deltapoint looks cool though. I remember them posting pics of it a while back but I'm hopeful they will have them ready this time. The standard DP I've been using has been great but the Trijicon is more user friendly it seems for brightness control etc. DarrellH here on the forums as well as SCHubter have been using them a while and love them. I bought mine after having a chance to shoot theirs this past year. Had to have one.
