I kinda want to hear more about the 2.5-10x updates that got a throwaway hint in thread
 But I still want to hear more about this 1x. So January drop it sounds like, with mid-January pre-order dates? So closer to end of the month, or very beginning of February, for first releases. That's an awful tempting proposition. |

the 2x has a carry handle mount with a hole cut for optic sights, so I bet it would work with the 1z as well

He probably means looking through the carry handle mount, not the optic itself

The lowest magnification Acog is a 1.5x, and you can't use iron sights through it. He's not talking about co-witness. The ACOG has a hole through it so that when mounted on a carry handle, you can use the carry handle irons and see the front sight through the base. |

Ill see what I can do though. Oh yeah. Have you shot it like that? My bet is you wont be able to hit anything. I have to close my eyes and look thru my right tube and look thru the optic for it work. The whole overlay on the other eye thing doesnt work. I see people try it all the time at the range. |

Is there a height standard for these like BUIS/RDS? I can't really find info on it. |

The reason I asked is because it looked incredibly low for a carry handle mount and I thought there may be some clearance issues. I see that it comes with different risers. Nice. |

It's all about the manufacturer. If memory serves, Athlon, Vortex, Atibal, and PA use the same manufacturers. I could be wrong however. They all offer pretty similar specced optics that are all decent for their range. |

I'm very interested in hearing from people that have used this with NODs.
The reticule is a big deal too. I know a lot of people love the ACSS, but to be honest it is way to busy for me, and that would be triple true looking at it through green eyes. |
