Absolute or lower 1/3?

Dueck defense offset irons or a JP SRTS. Out of the way and fixed. No manipulating and it's out of the way.

How well would those work for off-hand shooting, and shooting from cover? Seems like it would be akward at best, but maybe I'm thinking about it wrong.

One thing the 1/3 Cowitness allows is HEADS UP shooting. You can SEE.

And crappy cheek weld.

Seriously, didn't I say the vast majority of this in the first response?

We're all trying man, honestly. Maybe it would be easier if you broke your posts up into chapters?

I just try to be comprehensive!

You know I talk a lot-- I gotta type a lot, too!

Absolute. I love the fact that I can check my sights without firing a shot.

I like 1/3 because of the whole site picture that you can see with your head up, both eyes open and the iron sites low in the picture. It must be the situational awareness thing and mostly related to hunting for me, it works great because of the speed at wihich you can get on a moving target. Cheek weld was never a problem for me either way. Just thought that I would post here because just yesterday I changed from separate rear BUIS with a Yankee Hill mount to 1/3 cowitness my Eotech XPS. I found out that the Yankee Hill mount hanging off the front of the upper (apparently it was made for earlier Eotech that don't have the crossways battery) would not allow me to remove the top half of the handguard and the setup was kind of clutsy.

I went with the 1 piece riser and back BUIS from Rock River, this setup does not put the Eotech quite as high as with the YHM mount but when the dot is in the center of the window the irons are still low and out of the sight picture. Much cleaner setup with nothing in the way now. The RRA rear site is fully adjustable both axis and sits on the upper at standard height. A boresite check before and after revealed that I won't have much to adjust when I get to the range or to S Texas, whicever comes first .......

"1/3rd Advantages:

Not so much clutter in your optic, if you're using fixed and not flip up/down.

Often results from having a higher mounted primary optic, which many suggest promotes better situational awareness. (For me, it means crappy cheek weld...)

The ability to hold two zero's-- 25/200 and 50/300, for example. (Practical? Meh-- I wouldn't know.)"

Why, yes, you did, sir.

I was just restating something that some may be overlooking.

BTW, I DO read you.

Bored, here is a picture of my M4S in a Bobro mount with absolute co-witness through Troy BUIS (small aperture used for this picture):

please forgive my cell-phone camera.
