I bought a XPS 2-0 for my 11.5" SBR project (BCM upper/LMT lower). I’m going to get a riser to have a lower 1/3 co-witness. QD isn’t important to me, because it will be set up and left alone with a fixed rear BUIS (DD A1.5).
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has a picture of what that optic/riser combo looks like.
Thanks,
Jay
FWIU You can cut a yh riser to fit the xps, for a 1/3 cowitness. Does anyone know if there is a xps specific riser like a larue? Google is turning up nothing.
Snagged these pics of a yh riser cut n refinished for xps:
FWIW, I have an eotech 512 on top of a YHM eotech riser and it almost makes the sights unusable. The battery tab takes away almost 2mm and it is valuable real estate. The mount needs to be about 2mm shorter IMO and that would set the bottom of the 65MOA circle right on top of the front site post.
I ended up buying the riser in the pics cut n refinished by a guy in cali, and You are right about ibuss not being as functional, but its not the yankee hill riser, its the eotech interfering with the ibuss. I just mounted mine and see what You’re talking about. I think You’d have the same results with any riser. I really like not having to bring my big head down as much to get a sight picture with the xps. Fair trade off imo.
