I did a search already looking for optics and mounts to fit the CASV handguard with its ~1/2" riser, and have been distilling things into some notes.
So far the options I've seen are:
--Aimpoint CompM4 on Larue LT659 mount (absolute co-witness?)
--Aimpoint CompM4 on factory mount (lower 1/3)
--Aimpoint ACO on Larue LT152
--Aimpoint PRO on Larue LT152
--Aimpoint T1 or H1 on American Defense T1-CAS-V
--Trijicon RMR on American Defense Micro
--Vortex SPARC (original)
--did anyone ever figure out mounting an ACOG for co-witness?
In principle, I usually prefer big "window" holosights with room for extended data as demonstrated by the abandoned EOHack project, but those don't have co-witness on the CASV which negates the entire point of selecting a notched handguard and FSB upper, and that big "window" stands out a ways creating both additional "bag bulge potential"/space footprint and greater potential for damage, two very undesirable traits in a discreet-carry iron like a Get-Home Bag PDW, which leaves me with red-dot "tubes."
My question to all you fellow CASV owners is, what did YOU choose to rack-up and why? Right now as a first gut-reaction I'm thinking an ACO or PRO or maybe one of the Micros--with a 10" barrel on a pistol, it's not like I'm building a DMR and close-range speed of target acquisition is more important for my purposes than long-distance precision, and for me lower-profile mounting and "form factor" are as noted an important consideration.
