Eotech on a cz 858

[Allaemer245]

Assuming I could find a front mount for it, would it be able to stand up to the recoil etc? opinions please!

 

[Captain Paul]

do it

Would the recoil be too much for it?

eotech on a 858 is so stupid
only micro sights, h1/t1, fastefire, rmr, small sights.

An eotech will be just fine on an 858.

Why is that?? Other than co-witness, why is it stupid??

other than co-witness, its not stupid. unless you like to take commando pics in the mirror, you look stupid.

i have an eotech on my 11.5inch csa and it works fine. but looks silly.

If your using the nea upper hand guard you'll need an xps eotech or similar short model. The longer models that take aa batteries like hunter1970's are too long. Already tried. I love the eotech for "both eyes open" but just settled for micro red dot. Now i have to buy a rifle my eotech will fit on.
Here's mine

I had one on a CZ 858, mounted on an NEA rail. Worked just fine.

I definitely neglected to notice how small that mount was looks like a micro it is!

My wife and I bought the CSA side rail and mount and took the rifle to P&D to try some red dots and the Leupold prismatic. To be brief, for the side mount, anyway, the Eotech ends up being too high to sight with comfort. The TRS-25 was/is the perfect height for us and it's a whole lot less expesive than the Eotech.

Now, if you somehow mount the Eotech lower, say down toward the muzzle as shown in some photos above, then maybe it'll be OK.
