My thoughts exactly. Think of it this way. $40 evey other week and in 5 months you have enough for a decent real Aimpoint. Is it really going to hurt to use your irons for 5 months? You may even find a used Aimpoint on the site here for less.Quote:

Now that the Aimpoint Pro package can be had for $399 with mount included, that is a tough package to beat.
Save your money, shop wisely, and get an Aimpoint.
I've got a Vortex Strikefire, and like it. I've compared it to my buddies Aimpoint ML2 and its pretty close, not exact but a damn good job. Its supposed to be bullet proof as well. LAPD uses them, there are security companies overseas using them. I throw my rifle around to see how it holds up and so far so good. However as for what your looking for it might be overkill. I understand you just want a toy to play with. I have heard good things about primary arms as well. Ebay is probably where I would look though.
This bears repeating. M4C isn't the place for this kind of stuff IMO and I'd prefer not to see the content diluted in this manner. No offense to the OP but if you can't get on board with the mission perhaps this isn't the place for you? And before anyone gets all riled up understand that I'm not being condescending I'm just pointing out that some folks might be in the wrong place; it's probably not a best practice to go to Hondatech if you're looking for info on Mustangs.Quote:

Just shoot irons until you can afford an actual optic.
I think that everyone just needs to be on the same page. There's tons of sites that cater to "hobby shooters", not so much for those that are serious about mentally preparing, training and equipping themselves to win a fight. Everyone's gotta start somewhere but if you're not interested in starting at all then like I said, maybe some people are in the wrong place...Quote:
