Actually if you're doing the scout setup with the red dot, do neither.

The entire point of moving the optics further up front (away from your face) is so you don't have to focus on the optics at all. Just look in the distance as you normally would and as long as the red dot is in your field of vision, you WILL see the dot. You don't have to focus on the dot, it's noticeable even peripherally and you just know that where the dot is is where the gun is pointed (essentially). This is what makes it quick, and makes it effective (your focus is always in the distance).

Just turn a red dot on and hold it at arm's length in front of your face and look around (don't look at the dot itself), you'll understand.
