Aimpoint M4s or T-1?

I can't decide, any input would be helpful. Thanks

I can't speak for both, since I have not used both, but most people seem to be going with a T-1 anymore.

Both are excelent and will serve you well.

T1 gets the nod for compactness and lightweight.

M4S gets the nod for battery life and durability.

What weapon would this be going on?

Dont have any experinece with the M4, but I own a ML2 and have owned an Eotech. Currently using a T1, and its my favorite of the bunch. Small,light, and on a Larue mount its hard to beat.

It will be on a stag m4

Never had an M4. I have a few M3s and the H-1.

The good news is you can't go wrong. Try to get hands on with both. For me the M4 doesn't offer enough of an advantage over the M3, mostly because I already have the M3s. Battery life is better, but I change out battiers yearly and haven't had a dead battery. Eight years with the M4. Five years with the M3. Basicly a moot point when you change the batteries out at interval.

My H-1 rides in a Larue mount. I like it. If it were one of our approved optics I would use it on my issue rifle. Small, light and no "clutter".

YMMV.

But like I said. You can't really go wrong. Good luck!

Check out this tacked thread on optics. It's pretty in depth and believe will answer your questions. https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=4209

Personally, I like the EOTech 553 and the Aimpoint M4S, but they're pretty pricey. There is also a comparison chart in there some where in that thread. Good luck.

I went with the M4s, because the T1's smaller 20mm lens proved to be a hassle (to me at least) when shooting from positions with less than stellar cheekweld. I found the M4s was much more forgiving (and faster) in awkward positions. Of course, many will disagree, and most can use a T1 just fine, but the extra durability, and the added battery life (over 10 years with a lithium AA battery) of the M4s sealed the deal for me.

Won't hear a disagreement from me. Seems pretty reasonable!

This is some really great info.
