High Exposure 5,662 Posted August 22, 2013 Negative ghost writer, it's on a night force mount and cheek weld is perfect. The irons are in that spot just for storage till i install a replacement. What's the optic and mount you have there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shane45 807 Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like a Vortex Razor 1-6 in a Nightforce Unimount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,662 Posted August 22, 2013 Isn't there like 20MOA built into that mount? What distance are you zeroing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

checko 180 Posted August 23, 2013 Latest iteration: 14.5 inch BCM lightweight barrel with dynacomp, BCM BCG, and Rainer Arms Raptor charging handle (I love this thing) Magpul furniture, moe + grip, rear mbus and STR stock Spikes lower with PSA lpk, Spikes ST-T2 buffer and ALG A.C.T trigger VTAC 2 pt sling with IWC front QD attchment and Tango Down PR-4 Rear QD attachment Primary Arms UWL Looking to upgrade the light to a P2X Fury or maybe M600 Finally picked up a used Eotech. Got a very good price and will likely upgrade to a newer model if I like it enough. My first experience with a Eotech sight. Pros for me, I love how the reticle looks, and how easy it is to keep both eyes open through the sight. Cons, need a riser to 1/3 cowitness, reticle isn't as sharp as I hoped (this could be my eyes or just the effect of the laser projection, either way I've read that it is common) but it is still more than clear enough to acquire targets quickly. Battery life is something I will continue to monitor. I do find that I prefer the view through the Eotech window better than a tube red dot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,662 Posted August 23, 2013 Very nice! Yankee Hill makes a good riser at a decent price for the EoTech: http://yhm.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_71_72&products_id=60 I use it with my EoTech on my S&W AR15-22. With a little bit of searching, you can grab one for around $25. Also, don't be afraid to cut the handguards to move the sling attachment back a little bit closer to the receiver. That's what I did - granted it was for a different mount but the application is the same. It took 5 minutes and it works great and looks good too. I will post a pic in a bit.

I should be having that riser on the way, its taking a little longer than expected. I think I might get the accucam as well. Its not as much fear of cutting than laziness haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrfly3006 42 Posted August 24, 2013 RRA NM upper on DPM lower with JP trigger. Would like to take this to an Appleseed.. Sweet!...I miss the basic, uncluttered and original lines of the A2 setup...sans all of the rails, optics, BUIS and accesories of todays tacticool carbines..Might have to put one on my list of have-to-gets..

Bugsy732 1 Posted August 24, 2013 Built "Misty" not too long ago... was going to use her at a carbine class then give her to my wife but not sure now... I think i may end up giving her my spikes instead... who knows... GST 16" Upper build, NFA Lower Shoots Darts this is my 5th build using a NFA lower and i have to say.. I am impressed to say the least. Cost effective and just as functional as an aluminum. No failures so far with over 1500 rounds on one of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerosignal 1 Posted August 25, 2013 just ordered the DH front and rear sights. how do you like yours ?actually like them a lot. They where a little pricey. But Rainier arms talked me into them over Troys. Got the gen2 rear. They do have a fast acquisition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuktuk 16 Posted August 25, 2013 Speaking of which wait why did u get the riser ??? is it to have a lower 1/3 cowitness ? does that really work for u? if the red dot is on how can u use the lower 1/3 cowitness? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly the reason. I prefer it over absolute cowitness. There is less of the front sight post in the window while I look through the optic. I'm not sure what you mean by the last part. I can still see the irons when looking through both on lower 1/3. The dot is right in the top of the front iron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

checko 180 Posted August 25, 2013 Not at all. Less distracting actually. When I have my rear sight down (most of the time) I have less front sight post in the way of my field of vision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda dark in my house and I was taking pics with my cell phone but you get the idea. Took it with my Mbus with the wide aperature. You can see how little space it uses in the window. When you have both eyes open and focused on the target, its basically not even there. Also, I'd generally have the rear sight down if I was using the optic.

checko 180 Posted August 25, 2013 .3 inches I believe http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Yankee-Hill-Machine-220-EOTech-Riser-yhm-p/yhm%20220%20eotech%20riser.htm LaRue makes one as well, which is not as tall (albeit by .025 inches) http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-eotech-qd-mount-lt-110 I prefer taller, and can't justify spending that much on a mount lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
