i don't have any comment on aimpoints, but most people get the m3/4 or ml2/3. those are the ones i see for sale the most. and you should look in private for sale classifieds. there's a few right now for good bargains.
the pivot is meant for the magnifier which is a non zeroing item. i don't think optics should be mounted on something that moves, even the front handguard isn't good enough for optics (for the picky). |

When using a magnifier behind an Aimpoint that flip-to-side mount is perfectly appropriate because the magnifier doesn't need to be exactly lined up (the Aimpoint compensates for your eye or the magnifier not being centered in the tube). If you were to mount an actual optic (Aimpoint, scope, anything that has a reticle) in a flip-to-side mount you would not maintain zero. The CompC3 should NOT be mounted in that. It should be securely mounted to the flat-top.

Sorry to resurface this thread...what I have read has been very informative. I have a SOCOM II without the extended rail. Trying to make it work with EoTech 557 and 3X magnifier. There were some pictures on page five of a back mount - can someone please tell me where I can purchase one of these for my setup (I have tried the rail extenders and they feel too high for me adding another 1/2" to 5/8." Any help folks can provide as to where I can purchase one of these would be well appreciated.

purchase
Ok so a few months ago I picked up the EOTEC 557 with the 3x multiplyer.
while Im 95% happy with everything...except the halo is very hard to see in "bright" outdoors conditions. I had braught my Sig 556 camping after sighting in at the range the previous week, well it worked for up-close while in the shade of trees shooting at targets 75+ yards in the sun was disapointing, so I took the whole thing off and used the iron sights... wich was a fantastic idea. Even did this with the 3x on although it took some playing with to see where i was at. with add on Bi-pod, touch sencitive foregrip lithiom light, and single point sling |

Honestly it been a few months, but no, as far as I can remember. As soon as I get under direct bright sunlight I couldnt see the dot fully.There was a very dim dot but I had to focus on it so much to see it I wouldn't have had any accuracy. At the time I even wondered if the batteries were weakening, thats why I just took it off so I could actually get some accuracy. which worked well, we were shooting clay piegons @ 50yards under some tall connifers when I could see the dot, then @ 150 yards different location under no cover the dot "ghosted". Which tecnically makes no sence if the batteries were good.
I am going snow camping this weekend so I will use fresh batteries and see wtf is going on. |

For hunting at "dusk" or aiming at a target in bright sun..... But I still want to use the EOTec.. I just need to buy another AR or maybe a SOCOM II. But after buying the Sig 556, the eotec, a S&W 1911 Crimsion Trace, and a X-box 360 when I was sick for a few days, I'm kinda out of "toy buying" money. |
