Great addition to my od green xps2-0 - American Defense Manufacturing EOTech Riser

I'm a huge fan of the EXPS2-0 and prefer it's QD feature and lower third co-witness over the bolt on absolute co-witness of the XPS series. However I'm a sucker for all things OD Green and when Eotech rolled out their first production line of XPS in OD Green I had to have it. I still wanted the features that I'm used to with the EXPS however, and I found it with the Eotech Riser QD mount from American Defense Manufacturing.

The riser mounts securely just like every other great mount from ADM, and in the same fashion. I really love that there's a company out there that really tries to solve problems like this one. It's solid and secure, brings back that lower third witness that I love, and has the QD in the event that I need to ditch my optic and run irons. The cherry on top is that there isn't a huge weight penalty for choosing this mount. The mount weighs 3.2 oz and the XPS2-0 weighs 9 oz, with a combined weight of 12.2 oz. That's 1.1 oz more than my EXPS2-0. No big deal.

The only thing that I would like to see different is maybe an option without that section of elevated rail right above the QD lever. I personally have no use for it, it limits your mounting options and hogs up receiver rail space. Heck, I bet it's removal would lower the weight a half oz or so.

All in all, this is a great mount that really does what I want it to and at a reasonable cost and weight. Very satisfied with my purchase.
