Aimpoint CompM2, CompM3 or CompM4?

[kaltesherz]

Agreed.

However...the M4s (which I have) is the most bomb proof rendition yet from aimpoint, can take some serious abuse, comes with a mount and has some extremely long battery life..

The mount is absolute co-witness, some people like lower third, esp with fixed BUIS. But with an 80,000 hour battery life on AA's it's got it's appeal.

I've got a 2moa M3 w/ Larue LT-150 and love it. All the features of an M2 but 5x the battery life. It could only get better if it was a T-1, but I couldn't afford one then and I can't afford one now.

If you don't need NVG capability and don't need it to be immersible past 15m depth, your best value is a C3.

Forget GG&G and go for a LaRue or ADM mount in whatever cowitness height you prefer. Somewhat more money spent on a better mount that will last you longer and give you true zero repeatability = better value.

If you're willing to spend drakhmas of an M4 variant, why not spend the same on a T1 or H1 setup? The dot on those is listed as 4MOA, but is actually closer to 3MOA, maybe even slightly less than that.

Arguably, hard to go wrong with any in the OP listed, provided you get a mount commensurate with the quality of the optic.

For a regular guy a C3 in a Larue mount is the shit. I own a ML3 on a 5.56 AR and a C3 in a Larue on my .22lr AR. Both get used pretty hard and I have not seen any difference. On a side note, Larue is comming out with cheaper versions of their mounts, the difference being no QD lever. Its the same Larue strong mount we love, but lesser priced due to the deletion of the QD lever. If you don't need the QD, that's the way to go. They have some info up on their site about it.

One of the biggest advantages with the M4 was the AA battery which is more available overseas and works with more stuff (ie; PEQ-4, PVS 14's). That means less stuff to tote and account for when you need them. If you had AA's and 3v 123 batteries, you're all set. All PXs have the AA where as the 3 v batteries for the M2 were not as available (at least from my experience, it was an issued item). They aren't needed too much because of the extremely long life of any modern aimpoint (40,000 to 80,000 hours/M4) which is just crazy. Why turn it off. The M4 is bomb proof and more are showing up overseas along with the M2s. You can't really go wrong with any choice. If you use a magnifier, the 2MOA dot (M3/M4)is a little nicer.

I'd recommend an ADM or Larue mount over GG&G.

"I'd recommend an ADM or Larue mount over GG&G."

I second that. great experience with both. I like that the ADM doesn't require tools to adjust tension and there's a lot of contact with the rail. I like the Larue cause it's...well a Larue. bomb proof

The Bobro mount for those Aimpoints absolutely rocks. I've had em all and Bobro wins.

If the Comp M2 is of interest, SKD Tactical (a site sponsor) is running a pretty solid deal. Check out this link for more info.

By the way, the CompM4 comes with a perfectly useful mount right out of the box. No need to spend extra on an aftermarket mount (unless you want QD functionality). Keep that in mind when comparing CompM4 prices.

I just bought a Comp4, and have a MaTech BUIS, I was wondering if it gives a true co-witness, or lower 1/3 with the built in mount?? I would like a true co-witness, any thoughts?
Sorry to get off topic but did not want to start a new thread, and I saw your post.

Thanks,

Since no one has mentioned this to the OP, why not save (on average) $30-60 on getting a C2 or C3 instead of M2 or M3? Only main difference is a shorter water-proof depth distance.

I went with Comp C3 over M3 for the very reason.. I don't plan on diving to 60+ feet with it anytime soon..!

uhh i think quite a few of us have mentioned that.
