1/3 vs absolute co-wit

[tvfreakarms]

What is the disadvantage of going 1/3 co-wit vs absolute co-wit? And what r the advantages?

I have a PA red dot and I'm looking to buy a mount that will co-wit with my irons for my tavor.
I'm also looking to buy their magnifier that flips to the side.

I emailed a customer rep PA (primary arms) and he said most of his customers buys the 1/3 co-wit.

Alrighy then

With a A2 front sight I prefer 1/3, with flip downs I like absolute.

Why do u prefer with a a2 sight and absolute with flip up/down sights?

I'm just trying to figure that out. The guy from PA said most of his customers 1/3.

With 1/3 the A2 sight obstructs your view less than with absolute. With flip down its a non factor and you buis are centered when used rather than in your lower 1/3 view.

For my preference, the front sight post doesn't matter, it's the rear sight. If you have a fixed rear sight and absolute co-witness, the rear sight blocks your view, so you raise the red dot for lower 1/3. If your rear sight folds down, then it is not in the way, so you can place the red dot at absolute co-witness if that's what you prefer.

With your Tavor, I'm assuming you have folding sights, so your preference is probably going to be more about cheek weld.

I prefer Absolute.

[tvfreakarms]

My AR has folding sights. I might go ahead with the absolute. I was doing some research and it seems since I have folding sights absolute seems way to go

[tvfreakarms]

Since I plan on buying a magnifier as well the rear sight will probably be folded down most of the time

I went with absolute myself. I will have Magpul MBus pro LR rear and Pro front. with a PA advance microdot. I Love the idea of everything lining up if needed. i got both as a package deal shipped to my door for 200 so i cant complain.

[tvfreakarms]

It seems Ill be moving toward the absolute myself

No doubt I prefer absolute coewitness.

I only use flip up BUIS so they are out of the way but I find I prefer that when I do flip them up the line up with my red dot. I no like lower 1/3 as it is disjointed to my eye. All of my AR weapons run absolute coewitness.

1/3 offers better FOV for me. Try both. I did.

[glock_this]

Funny I find more FOV with absolute as you don't have a red dot centered & then sight pins below that. When they all line up in 1 plain I find a more open FOV & cleaner sight picture.

Also full cw allows another way to dial in your buis/irons once you get the red dot dialed in.
