Why would you get 4MOA vs. 2 on an Aimpoint?

[RogerinTPA]

I've used both and own both, and the difference isn't big enough to lose sleep over under 200 meters

Agreed...same here.

To the OP: I had some reservations on the 4 MOA dot until using one in a carbine course. I had no issues with it at all, but I do prefer my M4S with the 2 dot MOA. The 1 dot MOA on my 553 even better.

They are slightly easier to see at close distance shooting and therefore potentially faster to acquire when transitioning from target to target.

With my astigmatism already causing dots to bloom the 2 MOA has been a godsend to me.

I was thinking of getting my wife a t1, but she has an astigmatism. You would recommend a 2 MOA aimpoint for someone with an astigmatism?

Neither I or my wife have ever looked at or used an aimpoint optic so I really have no idea with what would be best.

Im thinking of putting an t1 w/ LaRue Micro M4 QD Mount on my wifes future Kino SBR...which has a FSB. Im also wondering if that FSB will effect her astigmatism when looking through the aimpoint.

Where there's an option, I prefer the 2 MOA for the reasons already posted. That being said, I prefer the T1 overall, and have no problem with its larger dot.

Try it out first if you can. My wife has the same vision issues and told me that my T-1's looked like a bunch of grapes. We ended up getting her a TA44 Acog and she has become a credible AR shooter with it. It's also just a really neat, lightweight package that I even like to play with on occasion.

I've been really happy with the 4 moa dot on the T-1, great balance between quick acquisition and accuracy. No problems hitting a 12" steel plate at 200 yards. And surprisingly works well with a magnifier behind it.

I have both and the 4moa makes my rifle a 200m rifle and the 2moa gets me past 400m. This of course has alot to do with your eyes. I have astigmatism and the 2moa helps me considerably. Your mileage may vary

[M4Fundi]

Eh, its more like "something less than 4 MOA"



I won't say that a 4 MOA (or 2 MOA or 1 MOA) dot won't cover up what you are trying to hit, but on a target as big as a human head a 4 MOA dot will still easily center at 200 meters, and the shot will still fall inside the dot out to about 225 (with a 100 yard zero), after which you will be holding over the target anyway, making dot size irrelevant.

As long as what you are trying to hit is larger than your dot, you will have no problem.

Do you use a 100 zero for all your RDS?

I have an astigmatism and my vision in 20/70 and 20/100 I believe (not real sure, its not horrendous) and attached is how I see my T-1 without glasses/contacts.

I like the T-1. Initially I was worried about the 4moa dot, but after the recommendations by many members here as well as LF, I went with the T-1. Couldn't be happier. Dot size is perfect.

[dfsutton]

I went with the T-1 because of the size and weight of it.

The dot size was a negligible factor.

I have used a T-1 and a M4 together, side by side, and I do not notice much difference between the two dots.

Looks like an Eotech
