So PSA is having an Aimpoint H1 sale. Yeah, I don't have NV and don't really plan on having NV anytime soon so I think the H1 would suit, but is the mount that comes with it any good? Price is hard to pass up...

That's the aimpoint lrp mount. I have one that came with my T-1 and it suits me fine. The mount and spacer gives me lower 1/3 cowitness.

Definitely a great deal. Was considering an Aimpoint PRO, but couldn't pass up this one.

Tried to find some reviews of the included mount, didn't find any bad comments, but no glowing reviews.

Figure if the mount ends up not working so well, I can purchase a Daniel Defense mount, and still end up ahead.

Mine came today, it will have to go back. The 4 moa dot looks like several fuzzy dots thru the entire power range on the unit I have. I hope PSA will just exchange it for a new unit.:mad:

First RDS?

This will be the sixth, first one I have spent over $350.00 on. I have a couple of cheezy LOW dollar units with cleaner dots than this H1.

Before you send it back have someone else take a look through it that is under 30 years old with 20/20 vision just to make sure. It might be the sight or it might be your eyes. If it is your eyes you will want your money back...

This. As I get older, creeping astigmatism is making RDS reticles increasingly distorted.
Simple test: Look through the H1 while rotating it 360 degrees. If the reticle distortion rotates w/the optic then the problem is w/the optic. If the distortion doesn't rotate w/the optic then the problem is w/your eyes.

they're out of stock.

Strange, their website doesn't indicate "out of stock" (supposedly they have an inventory-interactive website that will automatically indicate when out of stock).
I ordered my two on the 24th after some else reported they were out of stock but I got my UPS tracking info on the 28th.
Hmmm....

ETA: Tried placing one in my shopping cart and sure enough, got the "out of stock" page.

How rugged/durable is the LRP mount? I don't need QD, would the Daniel Defense Micro Mount be significantly better? Thx!...

if you watch the Larry Vicker torture video of the Daniel Defense carbine, you'll see the T1 mounted on the DD mount. lots of people were impressed with the gun. more were impressed that the T1 held zero. I was impressed with the mount.

significantly better than the LRP? can't say...
