Can I mount my an EOTech 552 on the front and the 3x magnifier on the back or is the gap to big and defeats the purpose. TW

Possibly. But there is a large height difference between the scope mount and the forward picatinny rail. With the correct riser on the magnifier it might work. But I don't know how well it will work with sight and magnifier on 2 different rails. But I don't know if you can find a riser for the magnifier that will still allow you to use the iron sights. Which was important to me. Because expensive optics probably will not fail. But iron sights always work. And the m1a has phenomenal iron sights.

You should be able to. It's a little bigger in person (the mount). The 552 has that long battery chamber on the front so that will def hang over but the mount will have plenty of room. You have to hammer the hell out of it to get it to settle in. Also you will need to mount it shoot and tighten it several times before you mount your optics. Mine is good and seated now and it's solid. I like that you can still use your iron sights as well. It's a great mount once it gets seated and won't move or jiggle around. Hope this helps

I see no reason why that wouldn't work. As long as the rail sections are long enough for the bases to clamp on.

Yes, completely, if mounted immediately adjacent. Spread out the sight and magnifier on the rail and you'll have fitting issues.

It is semi difficult to explain without a photo, but it does return to relatively the same position each time, there is a "v" knotch in the base that a pin set in when you flip it up or down. There is very little wiggle with one mount holding my magnifier. I would assume that if you used two of these for a typical scope it would work nicely. I even read a review that a guy did use two of them for a scope on his AR with success. I've been wanting to try it, hence why I bought two, I just do not have an extra scope laying around.

I have a 556, not a 512. Main diff is the quick detach on 556 I think. It is not recomended to overhang the 556. I would test whether you would be comfortable overhanging your 512 before I would assume it fits. Test whether it seems secure enough if about half was hanging over yout delta ring. IMO, I wouldnt. If SHTF, and eotech fails, you can still use center of glass to line up frony sight for shooting. Will work at close quarters.

Depends on what you want to mount in it. If it's a 1x scope you will see the front sight. If it's 4x and above you won't see it because at that magnification the scope can't focus on something that close. At 3-4x you may see a slight blur at the bottom of the scope, but at higher magnifications you likely won't see anything.

I would say no. I don't have an EOtech, but it's not enough for a standard red dot and magnifier.

No, it's a matter of the height of the rings. If you want to co-witness the scope use a set of low rings, as long as you have some space between the barrel and the scope front bell of the glass you'll be fine. The sights can be removed, if you desire.

Three on a big one( stock 10/22) sixish on small ones. It's alright but unless you need it offset, don't get it. Get a different one. I bought mine for my 50mm objective scope and it was hell to set up right. It will mount with your muzzle being to the left of the picture. Not the other way. Not for me at least.

A magnifier isn't designed to work with this kind of optic from what I understand. Plus mine didn't work anyways, so it would be pointless.

Yes. If you're not using iron sights, then the regular mount will also work and will also have room for a 3X magnifier.
1483507
I don't think so. The 4x magnification will make the front sight post nearly invisible. Co Witness best achieved with an Eotech or similar type of red dot optic with no magnification.

For proper eye relief you should use one of offset mounts, like the Burris PEPR or Vortex mount; it will not be above the sight, but at magnification you won't see it.

i have it on my 5.56- so yes. I will get the measurements and get back with you tomorrow evening my dude. If it helps in the mean time, i use an EOTech, military spec one, with no interference. Talk to you tomorrow.

It's just not a high quality mount mine moves too Im going to buy another off eBay for an Eotech it should work the funny thing is I also have a 3x and it doesn't wobble at all

Sorry man. I don't know the answer I your question. I have it mounted on an ar15 rail behind an EOtech holo sight and both the magnifier and sight line up perfectly.

I disliked it so much I gave it away. Cheap mount, poor optics. You need to spend some money if you want good optics. I think Eotech is the way to go. Good luck.

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.
