Re: Need to replace EOTECH
Actually your field of view is greatly reduced with your cheek down on the butt trying to align the sights.
I don't know, I gotta go with most militarys around the world and most law enforcement agencies on this one, a lighted optic beats irons in most situations. I guess one could look at it two ways, mount an optic and have backup irons, or have irons and a backup optic.

Re: Need to replace EOTECH
one thing I did not consider.
Both my M4gery and wife's have the standard front sight........
the vortex 1-4 looks like its going to be a PITA.
So back to the drawing board. Or my arms room with a hammer and pin punches. And to Rock River for a new gas block that will work with the Barret hand guards I have on mine and my wife's rifles.
Installing a free float hand guard is going to be such fun.
Not.gotta love her ;)

Re: Need to replace EOTECH
If you are interested in magnification and being able to use your iron sights, I had a Burris 332 mounted on a NCStar QD riser that was a pretty decent combination. The Burris has a see through base which when raised up by the riser allows you to use your irons through the Burris base. It's not an ideal mount for the scope but it does allow instant use of the irons.

Same. A bunch of folks, ok 4 people, shot it over the weekend and no one commented on being bothered by the FSB. One of the shooters even ordered one today. I was already used to it because my Eotech was 1/3 co witnessed and the view through the Vortex on 1x is pretty similar.

Re: Need to replace EOTECH
Well I kinda sorta compromised on this.
I got the Vortex 1-4 and the mounts from Vortex.
And I got the Aimpoint PRO.
I have a build I am finishing, so it will need a scope. If the Vortex does not work for me then off to the other AR that I am building as a DMR rifle. If it does then the Aimpoint will go on my wife's AR and her Bushnell dot will go in the spares box.
Will post pictures and test results.
Thank you all for the advise.gotta love her ;)
