Im thinking of getting a RAS II and putting an Aimpoint on it. My question is what type of Aimpoint mount do I need in order to get good co-witness with backup sights?

If anyone has any pics that they could post it would be GREAT!

I believe the ARMS #22M68 is the only mount you need to mount on the RAS II.  No spacer is needed.

Any low mount will work if you are mounting to the bridge. Aimpoint makes their own, GG&G makes one, Knights makes one and so do ARMS. Most people like the ARMS usnit however. It has the widest base which provides a more sturdy lock up and the quick and easy throw lever mount.

If your using the above flat-top portion "spacer" is NOT needed, forward portion is same level as flat-top so spacer will be needed if your mounting over the handguard. Or an EOTech will mount there, no mount required, for co-witness.

Corrected post...
