BL: I'd like to have cowitness on my Ultimak rail. There are other advantages, but being able to run cowitness is for me a requirement. Best is to run cowitness AND on detachable mount.
Right now, I am finding that cowitness with 'budget' micros are either non existent, or "lower 10%" - you can JUST see the top of the post and barely see the tops of the rear notch - and this depends on front sight height. At best, you can reference your dot when you remount the sight.
I am finding that my MD 25 does OK on some guns but again only enough to reference the dot and not effective to 'shoot through'.
My First Gen PA Micro is almost low enough but the emitter kills the view.
Are there any 'budget' optics/dots that are low enough to generally give 1/3 cowitness on an Ultimak?
Or, is the Aimpoint the only solution low enough in general?
My BSA, Romeo, and my Psuedo Sig Chinese all show the Frt Sight in the very bottom of the glass. If you're looking for it to line up w/the red dot, not likely.

The PK-01V and PK-A Venezuela are pretty low, but still about lower 1/3 co-witness. Can't speak for how they compare to an Aimpoint. Both are side rail mount sights though, nothing you would put on an Ultimak.
DOES any current low brow optic come close? Again, because the emitter on the MD 25 is non obtrusive, it is enough to reference the red dot to the irons, but really not useable in a fight.
The pic from Ultimak shows a 'fightable optic' FOV.
I have an Aimpoint on mine, and no complaints. For using the budget knock-offs which are not as low, can you just raise the front and rear sights both, a little, to get what you want?
Sure hope the ACCS MD-25 works - such a good sight. Thanks for the information - btw - mag dumps or close?
There is also a difference between lower third cowitness and what i would call, being able to reference the sight. I can see the whole blade and FSP in my MD-25 on my Troy rail on a VZ 58. On an Ultimak with a Mak -90, I can barely see the notch and FSP - just enough to reference the dot if I lost zero. Not lower third.

Unfortunately, there is no optic that can.......mount to ultimak, have co witness, and QD, the math is not there, sorry the only way to co witness is wothout qd, even on aimpoint. you can go with higher mount and see under the optic, but not cowitness........
