Which adapter do i need for an eotech xps2

[italius222]

I know im going to get flamed for this but im out of options. I want to attach an eotech xps2 to a picatinny rail. I searched for adapters and i think i found the correct one that my local gunsmith said to get. Is this correct? Remember im trying to connect an eotech xps2 (3/8 dovetail) to my picatinny rail on the rifle......

It looks incorrect to me....

I'm confused. The XPS attaches directly to a rail. You don't need an adapter.

The eotechs i looked at said it was dovetail. Also how much are they supposed to b going for? Did the gun ban scare cause inflation?

Thanks turbo for sending me that link, and about the price inflation, have eotech xps2's always been 500$

EOTechs attach to a standard rail. I assume you are installing this on an AR? If so, there is no need for an adapter.
Depending on the the model, I've seen them starting as low as $450. The EXPS models have a quick release lever & a 7mm riser, the XPS models don't. It would depend on where you purchased it but most reputable vendors haven't raised their prices on them.

Yup, turbo sent me a link to the proper eotech, thank you for ur help. And thanks for telling me the difference between the exps and xps, i didnt know that. If the case being that 450-500 is normal, i may just purchase another aimpoint pro. I already own one and love it, but i wanted to change it up and go with the eotech cause i hear great things about it also

The XPS will mount directly to any picatinny rail using a thumb screw and will give you a full cowitness. The EXPS comes with a quick release mount and will give you a lower 1/3 cowitness. The quick release setup uses a lever that's less likely to loosen up than the thumb screw and the lower 1/3 cowitness is preferable to full. If you have to have an Eotech the EXPS is the only way to go.

[italius222]

Yea, i need to cowitness so its good that u guys told me. Thanks

[mkmckinley]

Well they both cowitness, just different amounts. Full puts the irons in the middle of your optic window, lower 1/3 puts them in the lower 1/3. Most people prefer lower 1/3.

Make sure you know what you're getting before you plunk down a bunch of cash.

You can buy a Larue or YHM riser to allow a lower third co-witness with the XPS sights.
