My Scalerworks Aimpoint mount busted.

It's all good man, that's what we're here for, to keep each other honest.

[Defaultmp3]

absolute co-witness = 1.42"

lower third one = 1.57"

1.7" splits the difference between lower third one and 1.93" and obviously Geissele 2.04" and Unity 2.26" go up from there with the latter 3 considered NV /gas mas height.

Not necessarily, what manufacturers call absolute and lower 1/3rd vary quite a bit. For example, the Daniel Defense Micro Mount is 1.5" for absolute, and 1.65" for lower 1/3rd. For more places:

Not every manufacturer uses the same height for co-witness and lower 1/3. For example:

Irons are supposedly 1.41" over the top rail.

Aimpoint's stock mount has a 39mm spacer which is 1.535".

Geissele is 1.41" for co-witness and 1.57" for lower 1/3 (based on an email response I received from them).

ADM is 1.52" for co-witness and 1.69" for lower 1/3.

Larue is 1.4" for co-witness and 1.64" for lower 1/3.

Bobro doesn't list measurement that I could easily find, but they have a co-witness, lower 1/3, and tall mount, and most people say their tall model is similar to the Larue/ADM lower 1/3.

FWIW, the Aimpoint 39mm spacer mount is generally also considered absolute.

absolute co-witness = ~1.42"

lower third one = ~1.57"

Better?

I used Scalerworks numbers since this is a Scalerworks thread.

I hate to dogpile on you but you can lollipop the dot with lower 1/3 and 1.7 before confirming the dot.

True, but to me and my aging eyes anything near the bottom (or top if it was that way, i.e. the periphery) distorts things a bit. Much clearer for me dead-center.

Got a loaner out of Pappabear's parts box. I think it's the Aimpoint CTO mount? This would be a great mount if it were lower 1/3 and had beefier fastiners.

We were shooting on Saturday and somehow I thought, just maybe I have a spare mount, sitting in boxes of shite 10 ft deep....I don't know how you knew that Mark but yes, I think it was off my Aimpoint Carbine Optic, thought it was also called Aimpoint Pro? Sitting on a Colt Carbine AR15-A4 with a Brobro mount. Brobro was my Goto for a while with Larue being up there too for optic mounts. Never caught wind of Scalerworks until recently. You know how we become creatures of habit.

ACO is the budget version of the PRO. Inferior included mount, no included lens caps, no NVG settings, shorter battery life, less water resistance.

And eats batteries like a mofo. Just changed mine for the 100th time. I have never tried to save a dime that I have not regretted saving that dime. Other than dumping batteries it has been a decent optic. Never run lens caps or NV and do no deep dives with my optics so battery life has been my only issue with this Aimpoint. But prefer my T1, T2 and Comp optics.

Just got a notification that UPS is delivering a Scalerworks package this week. I'd put this thing out of my mind. I'll post pics when I get it for those who asked.
