Well, interesting to me anyway. From heaviest to lightest. All weights listed in oz.

I think it's interesting that the compact ACOG w/ LaRue mount is actually lighter than the carry handle. I would have assumed the carry handle was the lightest option.

If I wanted light I'd use a Troy flip rear.

The smaller Aimpoint mount would make a difference.

I thought the exact same thing.

Rob,

Is that a 1.5x16 or 1.5x24? And did you pick (16 or 24) purposely or because you got a deal?

1.5x24 and I picked it for the longer eye relief because I wanted it to sit a bit further forward.

I don't remeber from when I looked through it but do you have to go ntch the way it is mounted there? I'm leaning towards the 24 for the eye-relief but really like the FOV and exit pupil of the 16 better....however, there is no free lunch.

I am pretty close to NTCH, but I actually find the optic to be a little forgiving in that regard, especially when running both eyes open.
