I have an Aimpoint 3X magnifier in a Scalarworks 1.57 mount.  Will one of the Eotech XPS optics line up with it.  Has anyone tried it?  I'm thinking it will be close enough to be usable but not sure.  Thanks.

Here is a link to a thread in which a user uses a PA lower 1/3 height magnifier and mount with an XPS and he said it had enough adjustment to compensate for the added height. He says the dimension he measured for the height of the mag was 1.64" so your 1.57 should work.

It will work but you’ll probably wish you got a EXPS afterwards.

Thanks.  What makes the EXPS better?  The riser?

The riser/QD mount puts it at the perfect height. The hood will catch the top of the magnifier fov. Saying that you can adjust it and it works just fine. If you want a perfect picture I would recommend the EXPS vs XPS. I sold my XPS just because over time it bothered me. It might not bother you so take it with a grain of salt.

It will WORK though.

Also the EXPS riser/QD mount is not compatible with the XPS last I checked. The QD mount is very nice.

Thanks.  I'll look at the EXPS then.

I'm considering the Vortex UH-1 gen 2 now.  I think it would be a bad decision but at the same time not.
