[ARCHIVED THREAD] - EoTech placement?

Posted: 1/1/2010 3:21:12 PM EDT

Noob question, but I just picked up an EoTech 512 for my RRA with the Dominator 2 mount and I'm not sure how far forward to mount it. What are the pros/cons of placement more forward/back? Is there a trade off?

Thanks, experts!

As far up as you can put it without touching the HG. When you put a BIS on it and you have it more to the back you will find it hard to turn on/off.

Place it where you are comfortable with it, where you can most easily pick up targets.

Try it in a few locations on the rail and see what you like best.

For me, its usually right over the barrel nut, so I have monolithic rails on everything.

I like the wide field of view so I have mine as far back as the BUIS will allow and still have room to get fingers in there to turn it on and off.

The glass of my XPS2-0 is right over the center of the ejection cover.

If running a BUIS and no monolithic rail, like this:

ETA: I think the newer 512s allow you to mount them further forward then shown in my pic without interfering with the handguards.

Would you run it further forward if you could?
BTW, that's a great looking rig!

I have mine mounted like this. I can still hit the buttons just fine. If I go back further it gets hard to turn it off with the BUIS flipped up.

I run a 512F with an LT-110 mount, allowing me to get it partially over the Larue 9.0 rail. I leave room for my 3X Aimpoint magnifier on a LT-649 mount so this is necessary.

I've always liked mine best as far forward on the rail as possible.
