Do I want a magnifer behind my red dot.

[Skar]

I have a eoteck exps2 sitting on top of my colt le6920
? Thinking of a g33 or vortex but not sure . Range gun
Up to 200 meters a few times a year and HD ( or wtshtf)
So do I really want a magnifer ? Lot of money and adds
Weight .

Sell the eotech buy a 1-4x.

Yes I was think that but I would have to remove front sight .
Yes it would bug me .

You wouldn't have remove anything. You will barely notice the fsb.

Exactly. On 6x the front sight and x300 on my rifle might as well be invisible.

Do you want a magnifier? Yes. Do you need one? "200 meters a few times a year and HD". No, you don't need one.

The EXPS series and the G33 can be mounted for lower third co witness. No need to remove anything.

I'm not a good shot and I shoot 200 yards with an Aimpoint PRO all the time. The Eotech would be even better due to the 1MOA center dot. I don't really see the point of a magnifier for the weight penalty you'd get unless you are pushing out beyond that.

That being said my other build has a 1-4x and it is easier.

I guess if I only had one upper I would run a 1-4x or 1-6x if I expected it to do everything. It will be a much lighter solution than an Eotech plus magnifier.

A magnifier is a handy thing to have. It's quickly detachable, so easily movable from rifle to rifle. I use mine intermittently on 4 different ARs.

THIS.

200 yards just means you shoot a little slower.... or maybe go to kneeling to get a little more stability. Unless the target is a 4" popper, you shouldn't need magnification.
