Looking for input on best dot size. I want to purchase Aimpoint. The comp M2 is aviailable with either, and the comp M4 is only available with 2moa. I really like 4moa, but I like the comp M4.

you can sorta make a 2 moa dot look bigger by increasing the intensity of the dot.

M2's are 4 MOA only. M3/ML3/C3 come in 2 MOA and 4 MOA. What do you want to do with your Aimpoint and how much do you want to spend?
FJB has posted:
However, 4 MOA is more than adequate for target/threat engagement out to 300Ms and is good for range estimations. 4 MOA = 4" circle on target/threat at 100Ms. 4 MOA = 8" circle on target/threat at 200Ms (avg. human head is 9" in circumference). 4 MOA = 12" circle on target/threat at 300Ms (avg. human chest is 19" in width).

No, but basically any [M2/ML2] made after 2005 will have the newer circuitry.You can find used M2's with LT mounts for about $425 and put the difference into ammo/training.Harv has posted:
I think only a small percentage of folks who get the 2MOA have a use for it and or use it to it's full potential.. and the rest just get it cause.
I'm not a fan of building a Jack of all trades DO everything gun from 0 to 600 meters as having a Red dot offset next to an ACOG.
I know I take the less popular view, but a 4MOA Red dot will solve 95% of anyone's problems when it comes to AR's and those who need to have a 4MOA dot placed somewhere on there outline...
But I also know that would be a boring solution and take the fun away.
But I like boring.. it has a repeatably reliability all it's own...

Did you get the LaRue mount? And if yes, standard or cantilever?

i got the combo with the standard larue mount LT150i think the cantilever looks weird since it's not being used with a magnifier or NV.

Another vote for a 2 dot MOA.

2 MOA. You can crank it down for more precision at distances and dial it up to a bigger dot for CQB.
