What's the consenses 2 or 4 MOA Dot

[Blake]

I have been debating switching out to a 2 moa dot myself. I've been reading Kyle Lamb's new book, and he seems to state a preference for a smaller dot, for longer shots. I'm not going to make my decision based on this alone, but it is something to think about. Since most of my training with an M4 using my own equipment has been about 125m and closer, I don't have the experience yet to make a great assessment. I don't plan on using a 3x magnifier. I already have a Aimpoint M2 with Larue mount and really like it, but would it be better to go with the 2 moa dot on an M4 or M3 for the longer range shots? Just looking for some more opinions.

Blake,
The 2 MOA is a definitely a good choice if you are looking for a new Aimpoint to spend your deployment money on when you return.

My personal preference is for a 2 MOA dot, but that is from me trying out several different optics and sizes of dot.

I found that when the intensity is correctly set I pick-up the dot at the same speed regardless of size, including the EOTech. This is not the same for everyone though. Your individual ability to properly present the weapon to target and ability to achieve consistent head placement are huge factors on the aiming process. I spent a lot of time and ammo with iron sights from 0 to 600 meters, so my presentation skill is ingrained to rapidly align my iron sights without conscious effort, which has carried over into my use of low-power magnified and non-magnified optics.

I think that you would be best served by trying both of them out, side by side on identical weapons. But that's just me, and I personally agree with most of what has already been posted here.
