I also think I read somewhere that it is possible to raise the 552 with a riser from say
larue. Never owning an optic and not knowing whether I prefer an absolute or a
lower 1/3 co witness would I be safe in saying the 552 is my better choice??? My
thought process is if I don't like the height of the 552 I'll just be able to raise it.





Any input would be appreciated!!!
Check out this thread to see if it will help with the co-witness/lower 1/3 decision: http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum...ING-CO-WITNESS

Then I'd look into the EOTech XPS or EXPS series.
