I don't have nods so genuine question here. Is the 2.9~ height from this much better than say a 2.26 unity with a small riser in front for your laser? Or, the about to be released 2.26 1 piece from jagerwerks? Frankly, if people want to buy this at $600 that is their decision. I am just curious if it actually provides a noticeable benefit to the alternative. I am assuming, the higher the dot, the easier to passive aim with nods so it would but that is just a guess.

I like that Jagerwerks mount. Plus the price seems to be right

View Quote You can passive aim with a lower 1/3 optic just fine. It being taller just helps for SOME people. This GBRS mount is 6061 aluminum and has hex screw. GBRS are a bunch of grifters and nobody should give them attention. |

Cool Idea but not in my wheelhouse.
I usually support GBRS products if its something I need though. |

If you watch the Delta hostage rescue vid from Iraq, you will see the vintage version of this- an EO mounted on top of an M4 carrying handle.

Quoted: Independent sighting systems. Not an issue. Lol yeah and it's probably coming off anyway, let's be real if the optic goes down I'm just gonna bracket in the micro's tube and send it. |

I do wish it was not 6061 and was 7075 aluminum instead. However, I still got one to test.

Quoted: Lower 1/3 won't cut it for most. Don't care what Matt shows, too many have tried with lower 1/3 for passive and it's bad. Also, not everyone wants the larger-windowed Etch for multiple reasons. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: XrayAlpha, Matt Pranka, former CAG guy absolutely hates this mount lol. He posted a video this morning on instagram on how you don't need these super tall mounts for passive aiming. Video showed him raising his rifle without nods. Then with nods. Presentation was the same and he could see through his tube and through his Eotech EXPS. I definitely think there's a limit, with 1.9"-2ish" being the sweet spot, but lower 1/3rd is the bare minimum, imo. For running nods or armor, higher than a L1/3rd is definitely great. Not that you can't do it, it's just so much easier and much for forgiving, plus less strain on your neck. This mount putting the optic at nearly 3" is interesting.. Lower 1/3 won't cut it for most. Don't care what Matt shows, too many have tried with lower 1/3 for passive and it's bad. Also, not everyone wants the larger-windowed Etch for multiple reasons. |

What a joke. Those guys pretty much only train LE and soldiers. Never get a dollar from me.

Quoted: Because most people here don't do what the mounts are designed for. View Quote No, we do. It’s designed for their bank account. The careful observer will note that most of the guns they have these on, in the recent pics on their social media platforms, are no where near short enough to have rail space issues. Enough said. |

$570 for the HRF, even IF that price includes the Unity fast mount thats too much. its just a clamp on bracket with some pic rail. $200 for that would be a rip off.

Another picture of the HRF Skiff
It'd be interesting to know how it attaches. Doesn't look like it would attach to the picatinny rail. |

I'm waiting for LaRue to come out with one. It will be epic.

I for one have found that the hydra is much more useable with a riser than without. But someone who is taller than me may find otherwise.
