I see Scalarworks just increased pricing. The Geissele and Comp M5 are within $25 or so. I trust a mount with recoil lugs and a stout cross bolt more.

That's a matchup that won't treat anyone wrong.

Not interested in a mount that tall. If I had a carbine set up to run NOD’s with I’d be on a Unity mount like stink on poo.

My OWL should show up today so I can play with it and see if the NXS 1-4X24 currently on the SR-15 and the OWL play well together and figure out if they’re too heavy for the wife to feel confident with.

If she complains I have all the excuse I need to place my order with Geissele.

Gotcha. If you get the chance to try it you might change your opinion.

You might be right but I don’t have any retailers near me who carry any kind of higher end RDS mounts. So I’m kind of ordering blind here on the mount, I know I can deal with an absolute co-witness or a lower 1/3 no problem just a question of what mount to pick up in that height.

The Unity does have a nice feature set though no doubt about it, and it’s pretty damn simple and to the point. A guy could do a lot worse than putting a T2 or Comp M5 on one and installing a fixed front sight out front to use with the Unity BUIS rear in the mount.

Add another vote for Scalarworks. I use one for my M5, and I've become a big fan.

For a T2, I had a Unity and hated the gymnastics you have to go through to mount the optic to the mount. The extended wrench they include truly sucks, and I kept on retightening the bolts every so often.

Got a Scalarworks and couldn’t be happier. Zero issues.

Mine sits on a GDI.
