Mount for EOTech

[neomedic]

I want to get a mount for my 551.A65 so that the iron sites will be in a lower field of view. But I'm thinking that in the future I would like to either get the aimpoint or EOTech's 3x magnifying scope as well. For the magnifying scope, I would like the mount to be a flip-side mount so that I can leave it attached, but for CQB, just flip it away.

With that in mind, what do you guys recommend. I know LaRue's has a quick detach magnifying mount. Is that easy to use or would a flip-side mount be better.

Any other suggestion for mounts are welcomed. These are what I see most of the time, but I not limiting myself to these options.

By the way I have Troy flip-up rear BUIS.

Thanks.

At the range it probably won't matter, but it must be a real pain to have to detach and re-attach out in the field.

I've got a carbine with Troy BUIS and an EOTech mounted on a LaRue mount...no prob, though it COULD be a prob with one of those lame twist-off magnifiers

What other mounts are available for the EOTech? I like how the iron sites are in a lower field of view with a mount rather then just putting the EOTech on the upper receiver.

GG&G makes a decent quick-release mount, though it doesn't add any height to the optic but actually replaces the retention mechanism. You could always just get a riser http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetac...tail.bok?no=28

Brando,

Is this riser higher/lower/or the same as the LaRue EOTech mount? That looks like what I'm looking for.

IIRC same height. Are you planning on using the Samson side flip mount for the 3x?

[neomedic]

I'm leaning towards the Sampson with the Aimpoint magnifying scope. Also looking at EOTech's 3x magnifying scope with a flip-side mount. http://www.opticsplanet.net/eotech-h...magnifier.html

Or you can wait for the new 557

I already have a 551.a65 (got a good deal on it <$300)
and that set-up is way too much (I don't know how much it costs, but that looks expensive)

Also, I probably won't get the magnifying scope for awhile. Just want to get the right "riser" for it when I got the money to buy the magnifying scope and mount for it.

What's wrong with the twist-off mount? I'm deciding between that and the Larue mount, although the Larue mount on my Aimpoint is "a bitch" to remove.

Like I said, on a range, probably doesn't matter, but in the field you might not want to have to fumble with putting your 3x away.

Silly me, I totally skipped your post.

[neomedic]

any other suggestions???

Is the LaRue LT-110 pretty much the best mount for the EOTech???
