This seems to be the perfect add-on to Eotech EXPS3-0.........http://www.leupold.com/tactical/scopes/d-evo/d-evo/
It brings total optics weight to 25 oz.
I was impressed by the devo when I tried it. As far as perfect, only if you think 25 oz is ok for a 1/6. I don't. Sub 20 oz 1-8 is about to hit the market.

Then you factor in the mount and if you run a QD mount, you're back to 25oz+. If you don't, maybe 21-24oz. That was the thing with VCOG that stood out. Everyone complained about 23oz without mount, but failed to take into account the 2.6-4oz QD mounts which gave you a 1-6X w/QD mount that weighed almost the same as a Kahles K16i with QD mount. Yet everyone kept saying the Kahles and others were "a lot lighter". Well, not taken as a whole, by much at all, if you use QD.

Sorry, I guess my point wasn't clear. We can argue about specific weights all day long, and then change them just as fast. I'll take a 1-8 for "similar" weight over a relatively heavier 1/6 any day. Previous 1-8's were way heavier, or of lower quality. No more. My uses may vary from your uses though.

I understand. I am looking forward to that optic as well. They are keeping it under wraps though. I must admit that the VCOG's keyed mount is a huge appeal to me though. I hate the concept of bending a metal tube with glass inside it, and that's how rings work.

Based on the context of some of your previous remarks, I'm guessing Nightforce?
