Out of curiosity if I run a magnifier behind an EOTech could I use this to get that on level as well if I raised the EOTech?

High mounts are great. You lose your front sight post, but I think it's worth it.

I just got mine last week from optics planet. Works great with the Aimpoint twist base magnifier. Yes, optics planet shipped that and the EXPS 3 in less than 48 hours, BOTH were in stock at the time tough.

For the EXPS you'll need the R2 (AD-ETECH-R2-TAC) it's .4" rise. |

Thanks, all. I do like the FAST riser. I emailed them, and they said it raises the optic by .665 inches, which sounds perfect.

Conversely you can simply get a .5" picatinny riser for about $8 ( https://www.amazon.com/UTG-Super-Slots-Picatinny-Riser/dp/B01DUN8UXW )
I use this with my exps3-0 and works great, brings it up to 2.2" perfect for nvg use and the same height as the unity riser. You could pay the extra $90 if you wanna flex on IG though. |

Huh. Lot's of chatter lately about raising optics beyond 1/3. And here I am bumping mine back down to ACW.

Very dependent on shooting style, facial and body shape etc. Passive for NODs it's tough to not make a case for a 2.xx+. Lower 1/3 is almost unusable with head mounted monocular and forget absolute. I have a thermal scope on a lower 1/3 (1.5"). I have to bury my face in to get into the eyecup for engagement. I put it on a Weaver .5" riser which should help. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Braggart. That'd be the nicest thing my wife would call me for my buying habits. Can you convince her to allow me to keep going? On a serious note, the heads-up approach has helped in very real world applications. Smushed face in an optic trying to hit running hogs is not ideal... |

I found that I shoot more consistently and accurately with ACW....which is why I have ditched 1/3. |

Need to get to range and try it out. Picked one up for the EOTech and one for my micro 3X magnifier. |
