I love the idea of the 90 degree C-More mounts (like the Cheely and the Quinn) both for how far they bring the dot down toward the bore axis, as well as for freeing-up the path of ejected cases.
My only question is... for those that have been using them, do you find the module sitting to the left of the sight window distracting? Or worse yet, do you find that it intereferes with your ability to quickly/smoothly pick up targets as you transition from right to left?

I had one on my Bedell for a while and I never really noticed any part of the scope getting in the way. R,

Thanks Bart. I'm in the process of having my first Open gun built, and I decided on a 90 deg mount. But then I started thinking...
When you used yours, as you swung from right to left, did your eyes just snap from the target, back to the C-More window (skipping right over the module to the left of the window) as the gun was stopping on the target? [Coming from an iron sight mindset, it just seems like having something to the left of the window might make it harder to drive the gun right to that next target.]

I had the same concerns when I switched to a Quinn mount, but once the buzzer goes off, all you see it the dot.

With both eyes open put your hand out in front of your face, fingers pointing up, palm to the side. Your hand is roughly the width of the C-More and you hardly notice it. Your eyes are far enough apart that you just look around it.

i though the same thing but after shooting with it, I do not even notice it.

[Navysteve]

I just see the dot. Mine works great.

[rishii]

just to add to the above
Ditto
all I see is the dot, I never notice the rest of the mount

[Seth]

I love mine. It really simplified the transition to open for me. The body of the cmore IS noticeable when you're looking for it and that's the first thing that the naysayers notice.

The couple of my friends that were negative about it both agreed that it disappears when you start pulling the trigger. I'm quite pleased with it.

This is the reason it doesn't come into play... Binocular vision.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

Sounds like it's one of those things that seems like it would be an issue... but turns out not to be in reality.

Thanks for all the reassurances!

I'll let you try one and if you think it's an issue I'll refund you less shipping. I've made the offer a couple times and have never had one returned.

I just put one on my open gun and will be trying to today for the first time. I am interested to see how it goes.

You need to use the search tool. The question has come up before. You will get better info by building on what's been posted, than starting the same topic over.

This should get you started

Seriously? After 13 helpful replies you bust out a lecture on using search??

I tried several searches on the Cheely and Quinn mounts and found nothing answering my question. The threads you provide from 2 years ago are for the Barry mount - similar, but not a 90 degree mount (so it doesn't block the view to the left quite as much). And I see you also reprimanded someone for not using search back in one of the Barry threads too...

Aaron, if you make it out to one of the LI matches you are welcome to try out my open gun with the Quinn II. I'm sure you'll buy one when after you try it.

I do, but not as often as I would like due to the time and cost involved in going to OB.

[hitman]

Only problem I had with one was my thumb kept hitting the Cmore when I went after the safety.

Its quick to overcome it though.

If I could do that, I wouldn't need the dot!

That won't happen with my mount, it's one of my design considerations. I "fly" my thumbs while getting the grip, and that's why the scope is set as forward as it is.

[CocoBolo]

I shot open for 6 months with a regular mount, I never whipped the C-More shuffle. Last night after 5 months of shooting nothing but limited, I picked up the open gun and dry fired, with the Quinn I always get dot even weak hand. It is not just that its down on the barrel you can see the barrel of the gun this gives your brain something to index on. Bending down and around objects its still there.

For those that have shot a regular mount and have spent years perfecting their index, I respect the hard work you have done. But for me a my age I don't have time for that so I running a SideMore mount aka Quinn.

[matt2ace]

I have been using both the Quinn and Barry mounts for a 2 seasons now. I never see anything but the dot. Of course, as a left eye dominant, left-handed shooter, it's just not part of my visual field when shooting. I never shot a standard C-more mount. Every time I tried one, it felt like the sight was too high.

I am getting one of Matt's mounts next to compare with the Quinn-I that I current have.
