    In the Aimpoint Micro Series, the "comma" is a result of the higher angle of projection for the LED emitter.

    I understand the concept you're suggesting, but I'm wondering how that's the full story. Is this speculation or do you have this on good authority?

    The smaller tube diameter would seem to partially mitigate this difference caused by tube length. It's relative as well, as there's still an angle involved in both tube sizes, yet I don't see any blur at all with a full size AP (I think it's always been a 2MOA). And in my and my friend's case we both see a sharp dot unmagnified but a very consistent 2-3x long dot smear when the 4MOA Micro is magnified. The smear looks like it would be noticeable w/o magnification if it didn't have something to do with the magnifier optics interacting in some further way. Intensely visually focusing on the target doesn't help, moving the focus ring doesn't help, turning the dot down doesn't help, squinting doesn't help.

    Do you have a an explanation that accounts for all that?

    When I rotate both the 4 moa and my 2 moa the comma rotates in the same direction as the optic.

    Just checked it, mine does too.
