So I have decided to buy an Aimpoint Comp M5 because of all the 2 MOA dot RDS's I've had a chance to look through the Comp M5 has the cleanest dot and the best glass by a wide margin. Plus having a 4 year old in the house with many many toys running AAA batteries I have so many of the damn things around it kind of makes sense to have an RDS that runs off of them.
It will be pulling sighting duties on a KAC SR-15 with a 16" bbl working in conjunction with a Cloud Defensive OWL, the stock KAC back up irons are mounted and zeroed with a 50/200 zero. Setting this up to drop some weight off of the gun which currently has my trusty Nightforce NXS 1-4X24 in a Nightforce Uni-Mount, and make it more useful as a bump in the night grab and go type of carbine. The wife will be using it too, so the RDS makes it a lot easier for her to deal with and I travel for work so she's the one most likely to be home for a bump in the night (that I hope never occurs).
I can't decide what mount to use, I do prefer a lower 1/3 co-witness since using it with night vision isn't going to be a thing so no need for a tall mount. Not particularly fond of bulky throw lever QD mounts either.
My top 3 in no particular order are:
1.) Order the sight and LEAP mount from Scalarworks in a package.
2.) Order the sight and a Geissele mount.
3.) Order the sight and a Reptilia mount.
Overall the Scalarworks is most cost effective, but I have never used a mount like this before and my default is usually to go for mounts I can ugga-dugga down via a wrench because I'm skeptical of all things QD.
Any input on this project is appreciated.
