Bingo!

I decided to get the Ml3. Yea it cost more but I figured the super long battery life, and the rubber cover was worth it over a Ml2 and having to replace batteries more and buy the rubber cover, was better off getting the ml3.

I got the 4 MOA. Most of my shooting will be at indoor range, or ranges no longer than 100 yrds.

You might want to reconsider this.

M3/ML3 are built to withstand depths of 150ft and the C3 is built to withstand depths of 15 ft. The C3 is a model built to offer LE and Civilians a rugged optic with the same exceptional battery life of 50,000 hours (over five years - 365days X 24 hours = 8760 hours) constant on at setting 7 of 10 at a more affordable price, but with fewer features that they may not need. However, to say that the C3 is not as rugged or durable with regards to retaining and maintaining zero in a quality mount as an M3 or ML3 because it is not rated to 150 ft water depth would not be accurate....
