Why is this combo cheaper than without the mount? Is it the same optic in both cases?

Not exactly sure what you mean. They may sell one without mount so if you know you need a different mount (different rail, high rise, etc) you don't have to pay twice and be stuck with a base you can't use. Bases are $30-50. Optic should be the same. I'm happy with the one I have.

Also, I'd recommend not using the mounts that come with the scope. They are cheap.

I've shot with both; other than the 1 stop disadvantage, you are very unlikely to see any meaningful difference in optical quality.

We'll Develin, Nikon doesn't make a bad optic product (Even though I use Canon glass for my camera). So no matter which one you choose, I'm sure you will be happy with your decision. As far as the BDC feature, I understand why you would question the wisdom of having it on a .22. My thinking is that not having BDC is not a deal breaker but having it for only $10 more is not a bad thing either. You probably won't use it a lot but having it might be an advantage from time to time. Good luck and good shooting.

This mount works fantastic. I am running a Strikefire with iron sights and a magnifier. As for it working as a primary optic mount, it would be my first choice.

It's not a necessity. I run mine with the mounts it came with. It is definitely usable out of the box. I've seen a lot of people run scopes higher though.

Not sure on the difference, but I use this exact model to co-witness my Bushnell TRS-25 and Magpul MBUS Gen 2 sights. It aligns perfectly.

It's the same price whichever way you add them up. Kit with 17mm and optical view finder (899.99) + the 14-42 lens (299.99) = 1199.98. Kit with 14-42 lens (799.99) + 17mm lens (299.99) = optical view finder (99.99) = 1199.97. Okay so it's one cent cheaper.But yes, I agree I like the compact look of the 17mm lens

Cannot say. All these things say they are the perfect height-right alignment yadda yadda, but experience tells me no. The included mount co-witnessed perfectly wiith the Eotech and A2 front sight, but not with the Bushnell trophy TRS 25 and flip ups that I switched to. All of which are supposed to be the same height. If it doesn't work, send it back, but its a great little magnifier non the less.

Mount weighs 4.8oz. the optic weighs 1oz.... grand total 5.8oz.... very light, do not even notice the extra weight.... Hope this helps bill

For $550, yes it is the best choice. If your serious about competition your going to have to spend a lot more that $550 on glass. This is a great entry level optic but it doesn't have a very good adjustable objective. That being said, your not going to find anything better for $550.

It has a green laser that is about 50x's brighter than the cheaper one. Has more barrel adaptors and I believe it is magnetic where the other isn't to make a more secure mount. What they don't mention is the ability to download a simple ballistics program too that let's you print test targets. I think all versions get this but I am sure this one does. Also, the tipping factor for me is this one is the civilian version of the one that the USMC uses. So far so good. Sighted in 3 of my rifles without leaving the house and when I hit the range it took me only 3-4 shots to complete the zero.

I have two. I only buy good quality optics and honestly I never had an optic that required more rounds fired to zero. It seems to me that after dialing a change in windage or elevation, it takes a few shots to get the change to take and then hold. After it "settles in" it seems to hold zero fine. Not a huge deal, but I don't care for this aspect on the sight.

Both are seprate pieces so if you just want the eotec holographic sight you don't have to have the magnifier. Or you can mount both the magnifier does flip out of the way. I have them both mounted on my ar15 and love it

I got 4 screw versions and they are WAY OVERKILL for whatever you're going to mount. Plus they give you a bit more flexibility when locating the rings on the scope. The quick release feature is GREAT, making removal and installation of your optics fast and easy. Scope has remained zeroed after 25-30 times of removal and re-installation. Hope this help.Dave

Any suggestions for link to scope and mount 30$ or under im really digging to find answer to this one

That mount is for quick scope removal if needed. My opinion, not really needed for a 1x red dot. Used more for magnifiers and scopes.
