New SBR and Optics Conundrum

I will hold sarcasm too and observe that you said "Well, first it would have an 8 hour on setting...". It does.

Omitting the second half of the sentence doesn't lend your cause credibility. The and part was pivotal

Dude, it's ok. You can have the point.

The big ring and dot are quick to pick up for sure. With no downside on a longer range, aimed, slow fire shot. As bulky as the EO is... when looking through it, your target is less occluded by knobs and batter compartments.

If I buy another one, I'll go EXPS to get the taller optic that will work with fixed irons. The XPS is a little low. It works good with flip ups, but would probably be a pain with my normal cutdown carry handle rear sight.

Another thing I like is that it runs on 123a batts. So the spare batts I keep in my stock or where ever are interchangeable with my sight and light.

Mark,
The XPS works with Magpul Pro MBUS?

I had an ACOG TA33, Aimpoint PRO and an XPS 2-0 and I liked the Eotech best by a mile for 0-100 yard work. For >100 yards, add a flip to side magnifier, and you're golden. It doesn't get any faster up close. Putting the target inside the circle is just automatic for me.

I'm not Mark but I run an EXPS 3-0 with Magpul MBUS Pros and they work well together.

Steve,
Doesn't the EXPS and XPS sit at different heights? Not sure if that makes a difference? Thanks for the reply.

I'm not Steve, but yes, the EXPS has a built-in 7mm riser and obligates a lower-third co-witness. XPS is lower and allows absolute co-witness. Both work fine with the MBUS, but I'm not sure that a magnifier will clear an MBUS without its 7mm riser.
