Ok so you can tell from the post count that I mostly read others thoughts but I kinda need some advice.
So I have a rock river middy, the elite car ute2. It has this rear iron sight built in so I'm fretting about whether I will be ok looking through it to see the optic. I'm thinking I want an Aimpoint and leaning towards a T-1 (I am of course here for suggestions so feel free) I thought it would be cool to have it raised like on a larue LT660 (the tall one) but would that be tall enough for me to not have to look through the iron? I would really like it to be raised but hollow so I could use the irons normally if needed if that makes sense. I don't follow the whole witness, co-witness, 1/3 co-witness so if someone wants to educate me that would be cool. Anyone else have this upper and run an optic...thoughts? http://www.rockriverarms.com/images/products/uheliute.gif |

This thread will explain cowitness.
LINK IMHO the tall LT-660 would be the best choice with your fixed rear. Lower 1/3 cowitness so your irons will block less of the sight window but still be visible in the lower part of the sight window when you want to use them. If I understand what you are asking you would not want a mount so high the entire sight window would be above the irons on a hollow mount. That would be way too tall to get comfortable cheek position and unnecessary. The LT-660 setup works great. The sight height is the same as any other upper so there is nothing unique except that the sight is fixed, . |
