I need some help deciding on an optic... Give me your feedback

[team_brock]

THERE ARE A FEW PACKAGES AT GGG and MISC WEBSITES, THAT I AM CONSIDERING FOR AN OPTIC, FOR PURCHASE PROBABLY WITHIN THE MONTH. THEY ARE IN ORDER FROM MOST EXSPENSIVE TO LEAST EXSPENSIVE

AT THE BEGINNING OF MY QUEST I WAS THINKING THAT THE TRI POWER WOULD BE TIGHT, BUT NOW IM ACTUALLY THINKING THE COMPM4 OR THE MICRO T1 WOULD BE SWEET. I AM NOW KIND OF LEANING TOWARDS THE AIMPOINTS NOW, THE COMPM4, THE MICRO T-1, THEN THE COMPM3.

I JUST PUT THE REFLEXS ON THE LIST JUST BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE COOL, IM NOT SO SURE THAT I WANT ONE, BUT LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.

I have an Aimpoint M4S on a Larue mount. I have no experience with the other optics you have listed. I really like the m4s because it takes a AA battery and has great battery life. I've heard very good things about the T1 as well, if you don't need NVG capability you can get the H1 which is exactly the same minus NVG settings and a few bucks...Good luck

It would be easier to make a recommendation if you stated your intended use, anticipated engagement range, and a description of the platform.

[team_brock]

It will be going on a AR-15 SBR, intended use is mostly outdoor/indoor CQB.

Go to the Larue website and buy one of their Aimpoint combo packages.

I like LaRue, and I have used their mounts in the past, but when it comes to reliability and holding a zero, many people say GGG mounts are on par with LaRue. And GGGs packages are a little bit better priced. Don't get me wrong, I know that you usually get what you pay for, but there is a point when more money won't necessarily get you a better product. Alone the GGG mounts are more money than the LaRue mounts, but in a package they are a little better priced.

The RX30 comes with an ARMS mount.

If it came with a different mount, had a killflash made for it, and had a triangle instead of a dot it might be a good choice.

Also, apparently ARMS does not treat businesses all that nicely if they carry mounts and sights other than theirs.

The RX30 is available w/the TA-51 mount and a (pricey) killflash is available. Yeah, I'd prefer a triangle instead of the dot as well.
