![]() (Pictured above: Aimpoint T-2 on a Unity FAST 2.26 mount sitting on top of a Sig MCX) (Pictured above: Aimpoint T-2 on a Geissele 1.93 Mount) There will also be less contact for your cheek, and depending on how tall it is, you may even be forced to do a chin weld instead. If you do find yourself wanting a taller optic, keep in mind the taller you go with your optic, the greater your height over bore will be. We typically recommend 1.93 over 2.26, as 2.26 is often taller than needed in most cases. Many people prefer 1.93 or 2.26 simply because it keeps the head in a more upright position when shooting. For instance, if you are running a gas mask or are shooting passively under night vision, you might want your optic to sit at 1.93 or 2.26. There are a few reasons you might want to go with a taller optic (1.93 or taller). This rifle is using a Trijicon SRO on a low-profile RMR mount attached to the dust cover. Some platforms will necessitate even lower mounts than absolute, such as the 9mm AK platform above. The same is true for other platforms such as the MCX, HK416/417, and others. Because the stock sits lower on this SCAR, it is natural that optics will feel like they sit higher. If your stock sits lower in relation to the receiver (like this SCAR), it may be more advantageous to go with an "Absolute" height optic/mount, like the T-2 + Scalarworks Leap combo on a SCAR-16 pictured above. There are, however, some situations where an absolute height optic might be a better option for you (i.e., MP5, SCAR, HK416, AK Variants). The reason being, absolute height often requires more hunching over. Generally speaking, we recommend lower 1/3rd over absolute height. For instance, the EOTECH EXPS (Lower 1/3rd) and XPS (Absolute) models (which have mounts integrated into them). These two heights are standardized amongst most optics on the market. (Left to Right) Aimpoint T-2 on an Absolute co-witness (1.42"), lower third (1.57"), and 1.93 Scalarworks LEAP mounts.įor the most part, the two most "common" optic heights will be Absolute and Lower 1/3rd. What platform are you using? What optic are you considering? Where does your receiver sit in relation to your stock? How much cheek do you want on the stock? Do you want more of an "upright" shooting position? How long is your neck? The Daniel Defense Aimpoint® Micro Mount has been proven to be one of the most durable and light weight mounts available.There are many variables when it comes to making this decision. For an absolute co-witness, simply install optic without the spacer. In order to achieve a lower 1/3rd co-witness, the user includes the spacer with the mount when installing the optic. ![]() ![]() Offering absolute or a lower 1/3rd co-witness with your back-up iron sights, this mount is ideal for shooters who are looking for the lightest mount to accent their Aimpoint® Micro. These fasteners thread into stainless steel self-locking threaded inserts that resist vibration and loosening. ![]() The Aimpoint® Micro Mount features our Patented Rock & Lock® attachment system and secures to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail with two slotted machine screws. This further increases durability and ensures a repeatable zero shot after shot. The mount features a recoil lug which interfaces with the bottom of the optic and prevents the energy from recoil and counter recoil from transferring to and damaging the factory mounting screws. Its light weight, essentials-only design offers a snag-free, low-profile, reversible mounting option for shooters that do not require or desire a quick attach/detach mount. The newest generation of the Daniel Defense Aimpoint® Micro Mount gives users the option of both an absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness with iron sights and Aimpoint’s popular Micro R-1, H-1, T-1, or T-2 optics. ![]()
