Aimpoint Optics

[jjakeyoon]

So I was looking at Aimpoint stuff today, and saw how cheap the Aimpoint PRO was as opposed to the Comp ML3. The PRO is $408 as opposed to ML3+mount being around $670. Is there a reason? As far as I see it, the PRO can do everything ML3 can do and more like night vision and coming with a mount. The only thing PRO falls behind the ML3 is the battery life and that isn't even too bad. 30,000 hours vs. 50,000 hours is the only thing ML3 seems to have the upper hand at. Opinions? Thoughts?

Sounds like you already know the answer.

Go for the Pro no reason to get the M3.

I could be wrong but I believe the Pro has (as you stated less battery life) and not as many brightness setting. Think the ML3 has 9 daylight settings and the Pro has 6 or so for daylight plus the NV if you can use it.

If you look around you can find the Pro for a little less than 408 though. I had got mine through lapolicegear.com and used the lapg code. Right now it is 419 and that would bring you down to 398. Not much difference but may help pay shipping. You may even find it cheaper than that if you shop around.

I have a PRO...although I am somewhat new at this I find the red dot can be adjusted plenty bright. So far I have not had to turn it up to the highest setting.

I was going to get either the T1 Aimpoint or the PRO. I put both on my gun and actually found the PRO easier to use with both eyes open due to it is larger. I thought it was just me doing something wrong but the sales guy who could have sold me the more expensive T1 (I had the money no problem spending it) said some people find the larger PRO easir to use than the smaller T1.

The T1 is my go to but the Pro is hands down the best bang for your buck in the Aimpoint lineup or in any RDS lineup IMO.

Go with the Pro.

The PRO is an awesome RDS and I highly recommend anyone to get it if you are looking to start out in the RDS world or just need a good, but cheap (relative to the field) optic.

The T1/H1 is a no brainer, if you want a high-end RDS that is going to last and work no bells and whistles, just work.

In my opinion, your decision should come down to the PRO or the T1/H1 and which one would work better for your specific application.

Well put.

I took a leap of faith on the PRO after feedback from this site, and I am happy with mine. While an ACOG is nice, it costs almost twice as much and I have other things I need to get.

I actually ended up buying my PRO through the EE. Look around for deals. Who cares if they're slightly used, I think.

All of the above being said, I've only shot it at 50 yds to help dial it in. (Then I went -4 clicks vertically so that it would be zeroed for 100). I must now confirm that zero and try it at other ranges. I think I'll do so next weekend, after I get my SSA installed. Can't wait.
