[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Which Aimpoint Mount with LMT Buis-cowitness?

Posted: 9/8/2004 9:33:10 PM EDT

Perhaps a mundane question but please help me since I plan on buying soon:

I am planning on buying a LMT 16" upper and decided to go with a LMT BUIS and and Aimpoint M2. Can you guys tell me what Aimpoint Mount (brand) I need to buy so I can co-witness with the LMT BUIS? I am new to all of this and see so many mounts of differnent heights and different makers and want to make sure I get the right mount.

If you are going to mount the Aimpoint on your upper you will need the ARMS #22M68 and the full spacer or, IMHO, the better cantalever spacer. www.armsmounts.com/catalog.php?action=124&item_id=23

Thanks for the help. Would a LaRue Comp M2 QD mount do the job? Its seems more of a simple design.

Yes, the LaRue mount will work just as well, if not better. And unless your upper is coming with the LMT BUIS, I would also look at the LaRue BUIS. Less $$, less parts, less weight, less room taken up on your upper and QD. Word is LaRue also has a cantalever Aimpoint mount in the works. Oh, one more thing LaRue is made in TEXAS!

I'll consider the LaRue mount, I already got a LMT Buis on the way. A measly oz or more then the LaRue BUIS isnt gonna break my back on the field, heh. Thanks for the help.

LaRue Aimpoint mounts are one of the best on the market....

What is the height difference between the ARMS mount with full spacer and the Larue mount, does one co witness the sights lower in the optic.

I have used the ARMS mount with the cantalever spacer and liked how it co-witness the sights, but I am interested in the Larue.

I believe the LaRue CCO Aimpoint mount is 1.70 and the ARMS #22M68 and EXT is around 1.55. The LaRue CCO puts the irons in the lower 1/3....
