I am running an Aimpoint Pro on one of my AR's and have a 3x magnifier with a Sampson Arms side flip mount.  My problem is I can fit thr 3x over my Magpul BUIS are there any mounts that I can get to raise both the 3x and the Pro to make this work.  Thanks for the help.

Maybe cheaper to get a lower profile BUIS?

Yeah. It'd be much cheaper to get new BUIS than two new optic mounts.

The ARMS 40L would probably sneak right under there.

Buy a lower rear BUIS. I suggest something used off the EE.  My used KAC micro fits easily under a magnifier.

I have mine in a LaRue pivot mount and that clears the Gen 1 MBUS. I mostly use it with my CompM4 in a LaRue mount. It does not line up perfectly with my PRO so you would probably want a LaRue mount for that too. It will work though. Like others have said a new buis would be cheaper especially if you are running gen 1 MBUS, the gen 2 might fit.

I was looking for this mount. Does anybody know what it is?

That would be a Bobro mount.

I use a Midwest Industries ultra low profile rear buis and those work great.  It is called the SPLP sight and is less than .47" tall when folded.  Fits under everything including scopes in a LaRue mount.

Find a lower profile rear sight, don't raise your optic.

Got to always conciser how your sight sits over the bore, the lower the better (generally speaking)

Does your Aimpoint mount give you a true cowitness or a lower 1/3 cowitness? A lower 1/3 cowitness mount will hold the optic a little higher than a true cowitness mount. That 'might' be your problem right there.

I agree with the others ... it would likely be less expensive and easier to simply get new rear BUIS.  Check out this topic. There is a list of many rear folding BUIS and how high they sit above the rail.

It does on my Samson Flip Mount.
