[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Co-Witness EOTech and ACOG?

Posted: 10/12/2004 3:29:28 PM EDT

Anyone here do it? Can it be done?

I know of at least 1 person who's done an Aimpoint and ACOG, what about an EOTech?

I used SMGLee's EOTech on a LaRue mount with my TA31 on an ARMS 19S mount, he took couple of pics but we didn't take pics of the sight picture. I don't think I like the combination. It blows up the EOTech's reticle. While both my TA31 and his EOTech are sighted in, they did not cowitness when used together.

There's been a lot of people asking this lately... what gives?

Duffy's TA31 is sighted to his gun and my EOTech was sighted to my MRP so there might be the problem there.

the reticel appears to be bigger but in reality it is about the same size. there is a slight enlargement but the center dot remains the 1MOA. Wait until the 3.75x EOTech magnifer to be released it will slove all the problems.

Here is a shot of the gun with duffy at the helm.

Duffy is one handsome MF.

No idea NAG, and people thought the Aimpoint+TA01NSN combo was overkill..... the EOTech+TA31 combo isn't quite that useful. Of course just a personal observation. I'll post a sight pic, and y'all know why

SMGLee now I feel special lol, having my ugly face blurred haha. My TA31 was on the dot out of the box, your sighted in EOTech can't be that off. Your observation is much sharper and better than mine, all I noticed was the huge circle of the EOTech. Maybe if the EOTech was mounted closer to the ACOG the magnifying effect would be reduced, but without a LaRue mount and a continuous top rail, I didn't get a chance to try it out.

yea, that tend to be the problem, since the reticle on the EOtech is set to project out at a certain distance, it will have to be corrected to get the magnifer to work. also if we moved the scopes together closer, it might make a difference. we will have to try it next time.

Sounds like the MRP would be a perfect upper to get the two optics closer

Still, isn't this a solution to a problem that doesn't exist?

We did it to check the validity on the concept; of course we did not have a TA01NSN at the time so we used the TA31.

Ahhhhhh! Thank you for clearing that up.

Uggh! I had a brand new one in the trunk there that needs a good home. It would have been great to break it out for evaluation with the EO and snap a photo of the reticle view.
