Help me choose my next optics for my BCM 16" middy!

I voted T-1, since H-1 wasn't listed. I have them on all of my long guns, except of one, which is an RMR. If no requirement for night vision, H-1 would be my choice, followed by the Pro.

Trijicon gets my vote! That will be my next optic for sure!

So wait- let me get this straight....
You listed a T-1 and Comp M4 for two of your choices.... ON M4C.....
The forum that probably should be renamed "M4Aimpoint.net"?
Didja REALLY have to ask?

I'm just funnin' ya.

If I was in your shoes--actually I already am, and am also torn between the Comp-M4 and the T1/H1, as well as the PRO.

In my current line of thought, I had an old 512 Eo, and I loved (still do) the reticle and big box window, but I keep hearing and seeing people with issues, even the newer stuff- so I abandoned ship while the getting was good (I actually made money selling my 512), and don't plan on climbing back on. No sense spending that kind of money when I could get a new PRO, or a lightly used T/H-1 for the same dough and never have another worry.

I can't speak for the ACOG as I have never used one, BUT one thing I do know is I HATE fixed magnification. Just a thought....

If you want to go all out for a SHTF optic, I know it's not on your list but have you checked out the Trijicon SRS? Standard AA batteries like a CompM4, and a solar cell if/when they go dead. Got to actually see one in person at a gunshow a while back- very cool sight.

I went Aimpoint T1 in an LT660 mount from LaRue.

Thanks for all your input guys. It helped out a lot.

I voted for the T-1. Small, compact, lightweight. Out of your choices, I think that's the best option. You could go H-1 to save a few bucks. I personally use T-1s.

If you have to ask, I'd just go with a Pro. Hard to beat the mount and optic for the Price.

If you decide you need a different mount, or the nuances with the other Aimpoints, you can get most of your money out of it if needed.

I shoot better with an EOtech in speed and also accuracy past 100 yds. And you won't find much love here for them, though I do know and see SME's focused on offensive uses can lean toward them for some specific reasons.

But the Pro is a pretty good sweet spot for lightness, functionality, reliability and cost.

I have a comp m4 and an h1. The weight savings and compactness of a t1/h1 make it my preferred optic, but for shtf I voted comp m4 for no other reason than using a AA battery.

Side note, the killflash on my comp m4 greatly reduces the starburst effect my eyes see with a RDS. Not sure if it's available for t1, but I'm looking.

I agree, though from the choices above the EO is the fastest acquiring there is. I have not used that model however. I have always used the AA battery models and have never had an issue. My M4 with EO is beat to Zhit and it keeps on ticking. It's been in dirt mud, dropped more times than can be counted, and been in countless sub zero days, and it just keeps on ticking.

I have a question on variable powers. Does anyone make a Variable, say 1-3 or 1-4 that has unlimited relief at 1x? is that even possible?
