? What to replace my Eotech exps2 with ( refund thing)

[Skar]

Sent my Eotech exps2 in today for the full refund offer. And now what to replace it with?
I still have my g33 magnifer so a red dot makes sense . The esps2 and g33 was set up for 1/3 cowitness
And I would like to keep it that way . Would the Aimpoit pro be A good choice .
$600 max budget with mount .

Aimpoint H-1

T-2 would be my preference (a little over your budget, but not by a ton), but there's nothing wrong with the Aimpoint PRO from what I've read. If you want a Micro, you can probably get a T-1 or H-1 inside your budget, and they're still good.

IME, the T-1 looks pretty shitty through the magnifier, like a comma. My RMR looked much better, though it has an exposed emitter, so yeah.

The H/T-1 are worthless through a magnifier. IMO, that is a much bigger issue than the EOTech thing because it will affect anyone with a magnifier and first gen micro. But you don't hear anyone whining about that because Aimpoint is God's gift to the world...

vote on H1
then again my need is for HD only.
the only time the H1+ Aimpoint 3x magnifier came in useful by accident was during a carbine class. the instructor saw that I had a gas mask and offer if I want to train with it. I said why not, then realized my prescription glasses could not fit inside the gas mask. Had to try shooting without prescription glasses but was missing on 25 yard targets. I then realized I had my 3x mag and it was like night and day. I was hitting steel, not accurate, but was hitting it at least.

Ok can you 1/3 cowitness the T2.
Or should I take the 7 mm riser off
The g33.
I liked the Eotech exps2 using 1/3 cowitness. But it looks like it has a lot more
Window then the t2

Maybe I should take off front sight
And sell g33 and get a 1x 4 ?

I have been able to use a T-1 in a 1/3 cowitness with a G33, at least as well as the shitty dot allows; I"ll be putting a T-2 in a 1/3 cowitness soon (it's in the mail to me). The window is definitely much larger, and there might be zero issues, so that you have to zero the Aimpoint first, then re-zero with the G33.

magnifiers are a bandaid solution at best. Naturally viewing a 3x or 4x magnified image of the dot may be less than ideal. We don't need to mention that you should be looking at the target and not the dot do we? Personally I find magnifiers a waste of time and money. For less weight and less money a fixed low power optic like an ACOG or even an LPV itself can be had. Seeing as the reddot is capable to around 300 yards, there isn't much need for the magnifier for the majority of shots taken. The extra weight hanging off the side of the rifle is a pain in the ass, as is the additional snag issues it presents.

As for Aimpoint being God's gift to the world. I wouldn't go that far, but at least they didn't lie about their products capabilities. Hard to knock on Aimpoint optics when they have a pretty golden track record for performance. Eotech is like the Maglite of the reddot arena.


To the OP and the original question. If you're still looking for a reddot, then an Aimpoint is an absolute no brainer. If you're looking for something else, then more details are needed before a suggestion can be made.

I use my G33 with a couple of EXPS3's (lower 1/3) and a couple of Aimpoint PROs. Works fine with both. I've tried it on an Aimpoint T-1 (4 moa) and that sucks pretty bad.
