OK, I have a Rock River Arms AR15 with the EOP, which is an "elevated optics platform". The EOP is sort of a riser block that has a rear sight built into it.
The rifle is just an entry level, 16" with just the midlength forearm grip,... no extra rails or anthing.
I've been told that an Aimpoint is about all that will work with this EOP.
I've been reading everthing I've seen for months about how to equip with sights, lights, or night vision.... I'm to the point where I'm a little overwhelmed! (Wow, I've also come to realize that some fellows sure do have a lot of money to spend on accessories!)
I'm thinking about putting just a basic Aimpoint on for a sight, and just a basic white light... lots of good comments about the Surefire brand.
I'm not military, para-military, law-enforcement, sniper, hard-core bugout type survivalist, or any kind of "wannabe". Just a civilian that wants to have something that would work in the dark in a surburban home environment "just in case".
So, what think ye,... good idea, bad idea?
Please suggest which Aimpoint model, what kind of mount will work on the RRA EOP, maybe which vendor(s).
I'll post something about the light in the other forum, but if anyone is on a roll, I'd appreciate advice on the light and mount also.
Suggestions appreciated.
