[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Aimpoint mount for absolute cowitness (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 1/5/2005 10:15:42 AM EDT

Is there such an animal? What I'm interested in is a mount that puts the dot directly on top of the front sight when viewed through the rear apperature. I'm going with a flip front AND rear so they won't be in the way when the optic is being used.

I know that the Larue mounts put the irons in the lower 1/3 of the optic, which is not what I'm interested in.

The ARMS #22M68 with either the full spacer or the EXT will give you what you want.

Having the irons in the lower 1/3 of the optic is how most mounting systems were designed, and for good reason. This still allows for co-witnessing. In other words, when you flip up your iron sights, the dot from the Aimpoint will be on top of your FSP when looking through the rear iron sight. The fact that the irons are in the lower third of the Aimpoint does not change this.

Having a lower mount, to put the irons directly in the middle of the Aimpoint, may negatively impact your ability to have a proper cheekweld, though YMMV, of course.

I guess I haven't played with the Aimpoint enough to know all of this.

What I want to be able to do is simply flip up my front & rear sights (which will likely both be Troys) to check the zero of the aimpoint by looking through the rear aperature and finding the dot sitting on top of the front sight.

This is still possible with the Larue mounts? This would seem to be contradictory to what I've read. I was under the impression that the Larue mounts were the mount of choice for fixed front & rear so that the sight plane of the irons would be lower than that of the sight plane of the dot.

The LT mount will work just fine for you (whether you are using fixed or flip up sights).

Actually that combination will put it in the lower third which is not what he wants.

The ARMS with the half riser should be the ticket.

Or, of course an EO tech without riser.

This could very well be the case. The dot can move within the Aimpoint - wherever the dot is (upper corner, lower, wherever) so goes the bullet.

Yes.

This is true. The sight plane of the irons will be lower. This keeps fixed irons out of the way when using them in conjunction with the Aimpoint. However, when you look through the irons, the dot of the Aimpoint will co-witness - it will be on the top of your front sight post, because the Aimpoint dot is always zeroed, regardless of its position in the Aimpoint tube.

See this thread for Troy's excellent pics of an Aimpoint co-witness with iron sights. Notice that the dot moves depending on the shooter's line of sight.

Negative. The #22M68 and EXT (or full spacer) put the Aimpoint dot just on top of the irons. The mount height is around 1.55. The LT mounts height is around 1.70 and the PRI Xtra high mount is 1.7125. So if the LT and PRI mount puts the Aimpoint dot in the lower 1/3 wouldn't the ARMS #22M68 full spacer or EXT put it in the 1/2????

Isn't this all about when using the irons ONLY, where in the optic field-of-view the irons sight picture will be?

Spacer height is going to determine where the iron sight picture is going to be within the optic's field-of-view, when used independently of each other.

So what does spacer height have to do with where the dot of the Aimpoint is going to be? That's determined by how you zero.

If the irons and optic are zeroed for the same distance, when using the irons ONLY the dot of the Aimpoint will be around the tip of the front sight post.

Is it intended to use the dot of the Aimpoint as an illumination point for the front sight when using irons?

What would be the purpose of having your irons dead center of your optic field of view?

All true.

Cowitnessing is convienent for precision shooting. I turn the Aimpoint dot down low and use it to illuminate the FSP slightly. For all other applications, I only use the Aimpoint - the irons are BUIS only.

This is the case for me too.

Because they are BACKUP, I personally want to have a minimal amount of the irons in my Aimpoint field-of-view, which would be in the lower portion, just enough to use them for BACKUP if needed.

The spacer has everything to do with where the irons are in the sight picture. Some people like the irons in the lower 1/3 and other like them in the middle. Typically when I shoot with my irons, my optic is OFF (which simulates it going down). When I am NOT using my irons I want as little of them as possible in my sight picture (as they are my back ups and not my primary).

I beg to differ, sir.

This is what the man said.........."I know that the Larue mounts put the irons in the lower 1/3 of the optic, which is not what I'm interested in."

I have the full cantilever set up with my.....ahem, TACPOINT. When you line up the irons it is in the lower third of the tube, and of course the dot moves down as your eyes move down. The guy wants the tube , irons and the dot to be all in the center.

Do we need to break out your glasses again?

Where is 3rdtk when you need him!! We just had this long drawn out discussion about where the military wants the irons to appear in the Aimpoint. Guess where 3rdtk said they wanted them. Middle! Guess what mount he said puts them there. ARMS #22M68 and full spacer or EXT! While I do not believe that the SF community want the irons in the middle any more I do believe that 3rdtk is right (will regret this statement) when he says that that #22M68 and full spacer or EXT puts in the iron in the middle of the optic.

Have you ever used the PRI or LT Aimipoint mount??? If not then I guess you COULD think that the ARMS #22M68 and full spacer or EXT puts the irons on the lower 1/3 (as you have nothing else to compare it to), but it really doesn't. Did you not read the differences in height that I mentioned???

I dont think so.... Being a LEO does not automaticaly make you a gun expert. Neither does being in the Military. It gives you a basic knowledge. Nothing advanced until you specialize.

Now being a dealer, you should have absolute knowledge in what you sell and give advise on. The same way I have to in regards to Law Enforcement.

Now.... Go mount up an Arms M68 with full riser or cantilever with an Aimpoint or cheap heathen communist made clone.

Looking through the tube, line up both front and rear BUIS with a proper sight picture.

Tell me that does not line up in the lower third of the tube.

Well I have been run ARMS #22M68's with both the full spacer and the EXT, QRP with spacer, PRI High mount, KAC standard mount and LaRue Tactical standard mount. The ARMS #22M68 and full spacer/EXT puts the irons in the middle of the optic. I guess the only way you could understand the difference is to buy a PRI or LT Aimpoint and see for yourself. I have given you the height differences on these mount so I cannot make it any easier to understand that....

I have both the ARMS #22M68 w/ full spacer and the Larue Mount. I currently have the Larue mount on my rifle. I'm using the Larue because I want my irons in the lower 1/3 of my sight picture. With my aimpoint mounted with the ARMS #22M68 and full spacer it is more in the middle of the aimpoint when lining up the front and rear sights.

Here is a picture through my aimpoint with the Larue mount. If you would like I can put the ARMS mount on and take a few pictures too.

lt557, I have no experience with a Tacpoint, but the Aimpoint does co-witness the irons in the center of the scope when used with an ARMS 22M68 and canteliver spacer. I know this for sure as I have two setups like this. Your insistance that the dot is in the lower third of the scope is flat out wrong. Maybe things are different with a Tacpoint.

33 & 1/3----33 & 1/3----33 & 1/3 = a whole for all intense and purposes. Now in an atempt to solve the delema lets examine which 1/3 the dot is in, and where the top of the sight post is. They are in the middle 1/3 of the optics lens when in the #22M68 that is to gov't spec.

The picture does not lie. Do I need to measure off thirds on the pic for you? Do you recall basic math in elementary school?

You're a tard.

The pic with the LT mounts looks to be in the lower quarter, not the third. Once again that basic math stuff.

Other poster? I will not comment on.

A poster asked for information. I gave him what I knew through my own experience, and posted a pic to back it up.

This board is to help each other out that have common interests. Which is what I did.

You must think think its a place you can do as you please and impose your view and opinions on everyone.

You being a dealer does not make you the ultimate information dispenser. Some here may think that you are and they are free to do so.

Can't we all just get along? Someone post the pic of the bunny with the pancake on it's head before we all hate each other.

Why do you only comment on my posts and not others that share my same view on the subject??? You say that you posted an "honest" pic. What about the othe members pics?? Were their pics not honest as well? I understand you that you BELIEVE that your irons are in the lower 1/3. We (myself and the other members that have posted on this thread) do not agree with you....

The only person I see actively co-signing with you is bookhound.

Big deal.

Quoted:
I have both the ARMS #22M68 w/ full spacer and the Larue Mount. I currently have the Larue mount on my rifle. I'm using the Larue because I want my irons in the lower 1/3 of my sight picture. With my aimpoint mounted with the ARMS #22M68 and full spacer it is more in the middle of the aimpoint when lining up the front and rear sights.

Here is a picture through my aimpoint with the Larue mount. If you would like I can put the ARMS mount on and take a few pictures too.

I will have to play with you more later tonight, my Tacpoint and I have to go to work.

At the VERY least the site staff have picked him to be a moderator. So it is safe to assume that he has common sense and knows that the #22M68 and full spacer/ext puts your irons in the middle of the Aimpoint window!

Good luck with your tacpoint. Hope it doesn't fail on you at the worst possible time....
