Which Aimpoint for a SBR?

[RHR]

I have a 10.5" LMT and I've been wanting to try an Aimpoint for some time now. I'm looking at the H-1, T-1, ML3 and CompC3. I don't need NV and I don't plan on getting a 3XMag. Price isn't a huge concern but I wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if I can. Battery life isn't an issue with any of them and I'll be using LaRue mounts. The size/weight of the Micro is a plus. What are your thoughts?

If you plan on getting the 3X Magnifier get the 2MOA otherwise 4MOA will work nicely.

Get the CompC3. The electronics are the same as an M/ML3 ie. 50,000 hour battery life. It is not NVD compatible and only submersible to 15 feet vice 150 feet. Otherwise it is just as rugged and about $80-100 cheaper than an ML3.

That all said, you can purchase an ML2 in an LT mount from the Larue Tactical website for $480, which is an excellent deal. The ML2 has only a 10,000 hour constant on battery life (8760 hours/year). But if you are turning it off during periods of non use then it could conceivably last the shelf life of a Lithium battery or 10 years.

I'd probably go with a 4 MOA ML3.

Why 4MOA dot over 2MOA dot?

I thought the smaller dot would be more accurate in close up situations

I think you have your logic backwards.

Close up, accurate is easy and fast is what you need. = bigger dot
At distance, accurate is harder and you can take your time. = smaller dot

Stick with either the M or ML series. I own a M3 & have owned a ML2. From you list get the ML3....or grab a ML2 for under $400.

Or for even bigger savings, troll ebay and TOS for deals on CompC2s.

I think very few of us need to go scuba diving with our rifles. That is the substantive difference between the C and ML series. And about $100.

I have an older CompC and cannot see the value in the "mil-spec" versions mostly because I am not in the military and the CompC will handle any sporting or defensive use I can throw at it.

Since no NV is wanted, I would go with the H-1 in a LT mount. Small and light. Perfect for an SBR IMHO.

I have the Aimpoint H-1 and LT mounts in stock. Shoot me an e-mail for member pricing (if interested).
