So i recently ordered a couple slings from larue and with the order i got the normal flyer showing a tantalizing spread of larue gear. Anyway, on the flyer there was an EOtech magnifier pivot mount pictured on the fyler. I haven't seen it on the website yet. is it avaliable? Also is it the right height to work on the EOtech riser? thanks. |
This mount is only for the Aimpoint magnifier. You can tell because it is a one piece mount so you can slide the Aimpoint magnifier in from the front. The EOTech magnifier has a bump in the front, so you can't do that. AFAIK, LaRue never came out with an EOTech magnifier mount. If they did, I'd already have it for my 4X 
|
I stand corrected, that mount is for an aimpoint magnifier. I did see this on the LaRue website however, *A Pivot Mount designed for proper-use behind an LT-Mounted EOTech optic is in development. Don't know about the Eo-tech magnifier though |

The eotech magnification has it's adjustments in the mount - the aimpoint magnifier has it's adjustment in the magnifier. If Laure produce a mount for the EO magnifier it'll have to have those adjustment in the base - it'll be quite a bit more complex than the aimpoint magnifier mount. |

True Magnification specs vs retail prices: Aimpoint 3X: 3.0X magnification; $500. EOTech 3X: 3.25X magnification; $400. EOTech 4X: 3.75X magnification; $750. If you're going to go with an EOTech magnifier, is an extra half power really worth another $350? Personally, I'd rather have the Aimpoint, because you can get one in a LaRue FTS. Even better if they plan on making a FTS that'll cowitness on that little piece of rail at the back of the LT-110. $0.02 deposited. |
