Ordered one too, couldn't pass it up.

Whats a good mount for a lower 1/3 cowitness?

You'll see a lot of people using the Larue and I went that route myself with no complaints.

Great deal had my eye on the H1 just haven't had the money for it. Thanks for the heads up.

LaRue or ADM would be my choices for a QD mount. For non-QD, I went with the Daniels Defense mount.

I just dropped an order for one of these for a lightweight build.
A little rattle-can time will make it fine in my world.

Just called and ordered one. Should arrive on Friday. Looking at ordering the Larue LT 660.

This is definitely a good value at $299. Just too bad that it is midwayUSA and not some real honest and loyal hard working aimpoint dealer that gets to help close these out.

What does that mean??

[SuperiorDG]

Just order it and they ran my cc. They don't do that unless item is in stock and ready to ship. Also, they just shipped my Magpul RSA. Thanks for the heads up.

Just placed my order for one. I think some Brownell's Aluma Hyde II that I have on hand can knock the silver off it.

I think they would have done better to allow some other (large-ish) dealer do the closeout for them than having MidwayUSA.

I am not particularly fond of MidwayUSA anyway but the reason for the above sentiment is that MidwayUSA is the Wal-Mart of the firearms world and regularly runs sales on stuff that are under what most dealers pay for items and they use their size to upset the market and push people around. (Note I understand capitalism and am not calling for gov intervention or anything).

Aimpoint could have rewarded a better deserving dealer with the closeout. (And for the record I am not talking about my store or anything, my Aimpoint business was inconsequential)

Just my own personal belief.
