Well I was playing around with a reflex and was looking for a lower 3rd mount set up. No one that I know of makes a lower 3rd set up for the reflex. If there is someone, I just don't know about it.

Anyway, I was looking for mounts and came up on my EO sitting on Marks awesome mount, Bingo we have a winner! Take a look, let me know what you think.

LaRue would need to cut one more slot in the EO mount but it works great. It places the irons about 1/4" below the optic center line. For you guys with Arms QD mounts it should work great.

Sorry for the crappy pic, I have a cheap ass camera, time to upgrade.

I think I see it, if I squint real hard, like this.

Looks like a lower third to me.

Hey BOOM,

That is pretty cool.

That's awesome, but won't that bright fiber optic triangle or donut be too annoying to make it worth while?

I'm glad you got a mount that works for your Reflex. If Grant at G&R sees this, he might pass the idea on to Mark LaRue I bet.

It looks invisible there, but I've had a reflex in a completely dark enclosed room and the dot was fully lit, I've also had it outside and it remained fully lit. I don't see the wash-out people speak of. I am red/green colorblind, I've heard that makes a difference but I do not know for sure. Whats going on?

Use it indoors with a flashlight or, aim from inside a dimly lit building out into bright sun.

I shoot outdoors, no indoors, and since our gov't has the fantastic notion guns shouldn't be used for defense purposes, a light is no worry. The idea of no batteries is a turn on too. I tinkered with a CQT at the range today, and for its capability seemed way too big, and clumsy. An ACOG is out of my price range for now, but a good red dot (Aimpoint, EOTech, or Reflex) would be ideal. And just when I was settling, the aimpoint magnifier came out. :P

The conditions that might make a reflex wash out also happen to be the same conditions that iron sights work best in.

Well said.

I messed around with the brightness and contrast, hopefully this helps!

Thx SC. My camera skills suck.

That's really great. I've been trying to get my Reflex off the factory mount and the thing is loctited so hard on there, the screws won't budge.

Any hints on screw removal without making them useless?

Heat from a torch is how I did it. Very quickly heat the bottom 4 seconds tops. Or you can try actone but be careful and don't get it on the trituim.
