Wondering how most of you guys like to run your eotechs.was thinking about getting the exps 2-0 with the riser for 1/3 co-witness.Does that get the 65 moa
Circle off the front sight or do you like the absolute co-witness?any info about this or the exps would be appreciated,Brian. |
With fixed sights I very much prefer a lower 1/3 co-witness, the sight picture with an absolute co-witness is too cluttered for my taste. With flip-up sights, either co-witness is fine since I only have to deal with the irons when I want to. My EXPS2-0 and G23 magnifier combo: |
I may be strange because most people want to go with the 1/3 cowitness. I personally like the absolute cowitness height because I don't see why anyone would cowitness their HWS with their irons. IMO the only thing that it does is restrict your FOV. The only way I deploy my back-up is if the optic were to go down and I find it a lot easier to get on target with my irons if it is in the center of the lens. The benefit to the 1/3 cowitness is that you can have your BUIS up and look over it to use the reticle and if you want to cowitness for some reason you can drop your head down slightly and cowitness.

Like most have said If your running flip ups run true cowitness, if running fixed run lower 1/3rd. Now A few more things I have found out: First: ARE you a lefty???? If so an EXPS is a little more difficult to adjust and turn on due to it being on the left side. XPS are on the back and was easier for me to turn on and off. I'm a lefty. When I tried to adjust the brightness and turn on a EXPS mounted to a rifle it was very difficult for me. I make all adjustments with my weak hand (Right hand) to the back of the sight when using an XPS. But if your a righty it might not mean much so get the EXPS. Also this has some degree of personal choice. If I wanted to run a EXPS I would have to Place the rifle on safe and then take my hand of the Pistol Grip to adjust the brightness. Second: Do you want to run a magnifier? If so then the EXPS is designed to make turning on or getting to the adjustments with a magnifier behind it easier. Third: Get the one moa dot with the 64 MOA Ring if your not going to run a magnifier. The -2 and especially the -4 models are a little cluttered if your not running a Magnifer. Fourth: Do you plan or ever want to run NVG's? If not then the XPS2-x or EXPS2-x would be a better choice. |
| Ok,yes I am a righty and I don't plan on night vision.I have a mbus rear sight and standard front sight,that's wwhy I was thinking 1/3 cowitness would probably be the best.I may go with magnifier when I get more money.yes I was going to go with EXPS2-0,thanks for all the help,Brian. |
