    Aimpoint M3 or T-1?

    Ok guys help me out, I am torn between the M3 and T-1. I am leaning toward the M3 because of the 2 moa dot, I like having the slightly more precise capability, the reason I like the T-1 is the weight, it weighs half of the M3. Given the two choices what would you do? T-1 or M3? Please give me reasons why.

    Are you running NV? If not then consider the ML3/C3 and the H1.

    The Micro series is closer to a 3MOA than a 4MOA so you will not be able to tell the difference between a 2MOA and a 3MOA dot.

    And if you don't submerge it below 5m, there is no need to pay extra for the ML3.

    No NV Capability needed, and not planning on doing any anfib insertions lol so depth is not a problem for water resistance. I would reconsider on the M3 to an ML3 but I like the T-1 over the H-1 more for the look the H1 looks a little cheesy color wise and the big aimpoint logo, or am I off on that point. Grant thanks for info on dot size that helps. I really like the weight savings of the T-1.

    The finish is the same and would not worry about the Aimpoint name on the side.

    Have an M-2 and an H-1. The H (and T) 1's are the way to go.

    Ok Grant, Thanks I may go with the H-1 instead then, The size and weight of the T/H-1 is a big thing trying to keep rifle package as light as possible, I was just concerned about the dot size, but if its not really noticable then that might be the way to go for me.
