    You definitely need a magnifier! Unless you have a scope. Then it would just get in the way.

      A 3x magnifier with a 10x scope is 30 magnification though.

    G33 is still my fav and go-to.. I have LPVO's and HWS+magnifier setups and while each has their place where each accels.. I still like the HWS+magnifier combo the best.

    if using my Eotech HWS to allow use of BUIS visible in lower 1/3, and wanted to use that trick center mount (what company makes that?) for my Eotech magnifier: how will that affect my ability to use BUIS at 1/3 height? My guess is not a bit (as in not change anything except swap out Eotech Magnifier mount for that center line unit) but have not yet visited the website to company offering that magnifier mount. Appreciate any insights, information, suggestions, or any other useful input!

    I purchased an EOTECH G45 with no mount and currently waiting for it to arrive. I also purchased a Unity FTC. Did not think of it when buying the two but, will the mounting screws come with the G45?

  • @JulianB85
    @JulianB85 5 місяців тому

    I have now a G43 and a EXPS (green) before it was a normal XPS. My question is, do i need the 7 mm riser when i use the G43 with the EXPS ? I ask because I find that the position of the G43's lens to the EXPS is at least visually better aligned when not using the riser. It looks kind of weird with the riser. I just want to know if the riser actually needs to be used because it's just optimal?😉

    Is it normal for magnifiers to lose center with the reticle? After I flip to side, I notice that my g45 magnifier loses center (not zero) and it either shifts to the left or right.

    I use a magnifier behind my LPVO to increase the magnification and put my eotech in front of my LPVO to still take advantage of the holographic sight. Works great for me. Monolithic upper helps since I utilize a significant amount of rail space

      If you’re asking for height then no, I have a exps3 with the qd which is lower 1/3 plus a Unity riser that brings it up to the flip to center height 2.26” but because both a qd it’s not a big deal take both off and use irons if my luck is that bad 😂
