I have a Burris reflex red dot mounted on a S&W 617 and a Weigand mount. I have the red dot mounted near the back of the mount, but I have noticed some shooters have them mounted further to the front of the mount. Opinions?
 
Superimpose and trust the Dot.

On the average handgun, it makes little difference as the handgun, is extended. Then your concerns are mostly physical accomodations. .... ;)

On a longgun and refering to 1X RedDots, you gain a field advantage by mounting it further from your eye and keeping in mind that you have both eyes open. I recall as few years back when Chief AJ, mounted many way up front and even though they looked odd, they worked great. If I'm disciplined to having a good anchor dcheek weld on a rifle, then I prefer them to be as far foward as I can mount them. There are always exceptions and JMHO. ..... ;)

Be Safe !!!
 
I've always had better luck mounting them as close to me as possible. I gives you a 'larger' field of vision to quickly find the dot. But I can see the others logic as well.
