Both me and my wife naturally use a really low, tight cheekweld. I've had lower 1/3 optics, and I end up trying to sight through the bottom metal housing at first.
I realize I'm in the minority - most understandably prefer that higher spot, especially for fixed BUIS, but it's a personal preference, and she can shoot lights out with that setup.
Unless you find yourself ever too low for a stock mounted TA31 (I do), lower 1/3 is going to be the preferred route, but for those like myself, absolute is what comes naturally.

Thank you for your explanation. I would be interested to see your shooting stance.

I'm the opposite. I'm so used to the 1/3 co-witness that I found myself looking almost over the RDS when I tried the perfect co-witness. Although I suspect that I can train myself to adapt tot his.
But since my other ARs use the 1/3 co-witness, I figured that I should stick to what's been working. YMMV.

The Aimpoint micro spacer (I think the high one) is an absolute co-witness according to a conversation I had with Aimpoint.
(Yes, Aimpoint makes Micro "mounts" as spacers and an optional quick release lever add-on). And they are pretty low priced.

Pics or it didn't happen!
Seriously though, are there pictures of this co-witness QD mount from Aimpoint anywhere?

I have them but at the moment don't have a good way of getting them uploaded. I will try and take some iPhone pics as that is my best chance of getting pics right now on my computer.Pics or it didn't happen!

No rush! I'm not in a hurry or anything. I'd just like to see this option.
