If I take my Eotech off my rifle, will it still be zeroed when I put it back on?
Thanks

Almost certainly not. If you want the ability to remove and remount without losing zero, then look at a LaRue mount.

Mine does.

Mine stays within about 2MOA. Not too bad, but you will probably need to rezero once you remount it. At least it will still be on paper and shouldnt take more than a few rounds to zero.
If you do it often I would look into a Larue mount.

Mine stays surprisingly close to previous zero when re-mounted.

Definitely close enough for EOTECH work.

Mine stays pretty close with my Accucam.

No. It should be close though. like W_E_G said "close enough for Eotech work"

I have a 512 and it holds zero everytime I remove it. Just make sure you tighten it down to the same spot each time. Keep it to a consistant torque and keep it in the same place each time. I also run the RRA Dominator Eotech mount.

Like the others said, close enough for Eotech work. And if you have back-up irons, you can check the Eotech against the irons, before you even shoot it.

Do you have iron's on the AR? If it's co witness all you have to do to verify is look through the irons and make sure your dot on top of the front post. Mine stays close to zero. I make sure to always push forward as I tighten the bolt on my 517, that has worked for me.
