Aimpoint Comp M4s questions

$135+ if I need/want a Larue mount

If you dont need a true lower 1/3 co-witness, I'd run the Aimpoint mount. It has a very good return to zero that I've tried several times. If you want a true lower 1/3 co-witness, go Larue.

Damn this is getting expensive...at least for an old gearjammer like me.

$800+ for the Aimpoint (the optic plus flip covers)
$550+ for the magnifier (I am gonna wait on this, may not need it...)
$200+ for Troy BUIS
$135+ if I need/want a Larue mount
$300 I've already spent on mags
And my remaining arm and leg for a shitload of ammo.

Counting the cost of the rifle...thats darn near $3,000!

Ahh hell...if ya wanna play ya gotta pay I reckon.

If you buy the M4 directly from LaRue it's $756 including the mount.

And you get lots of "other" stuff.

And I wasn't knocking Larue. They are awesome mounts. Just saying the m4 mount is a solid mount also and would save some money.

It's a good mount but...

The knob on the QRP is fricken' huge! Plus, I want my optics to be compatable with the SCAR, AUG, or FS2000, which all have CHs on the left side. Busting knuckles and/or causing a short stroke is a no-go.

Left side charging would definitely put a damper on the QRP.

You can flip the mount to have the knob on the right side if you get the high battery mount version.

Good info guys....thanks for the replies...I was not aware of the deal from Larue that includes the mount.

I just don't much like that big knob on the Aimpoint mount...no matter which side its on.

I almost pulled the trigger on the M4s today...but decided I needed a new rangefinder worse since bow season is just around the corner. I got a Bushnell G-Force 1300 ARC...I know, thats overkill for a bow, but I also do some rifle shooting at longer ranges...figured I'd get one tool for both jobs.

I'm still getting the M4s...its just gonna have to wait another week or 2.

I'm having a similar debate in my mind. I'm running an Aimpoint T1 right now, but the "prepper" in me keeps screaming, "Why don't you get the one that takes an AA battery??"

I got the T1 with its own Aimpoint mount. This gives a perfect 1/3 cowitness with any rear BUIS I want to use with it. Is that true of the CompM4 or CompM4S that comes with its own Aimpoint rail mount? Or am I going to have to get another mount for it to get that 1/3 cowitness?

That is a major part of my decision at this point.

M4 has the qrp-II which comes with a spacer to put the sight up a little higher. Aimpoint calls it a 1/3 cowitness but its not compared to what I am familiar with.

When sighted in it put the red dot between a lower 1/3 and a dead on cowitness with my fixed front m4 sight post with troy buis on the rear. It was closer to a dead on than lower 1/3, though.

I just put the larue tall (lower 1/3) mount on and it is slightly higher than the aimpoint mount with spacer and a true 1/3 cowitness.
