    There is no magnification. There are no FOV issues with either.

    The M4 Mount / Optic is three pieces- The optic, a QRP 2 rail grabber and the spacer.
    The original mounts were not Loctited. Eventually they shook loose. I commented on this to Aimpoint and last week I spoke with the president of Aimpoint, Lennart Ljungfelt, who advised that the new screws would have a thread locking compound applied at the factory>
    Pretty responsive company, and when you consider how many hundrerds of thousands Aimpoints have been sold to the military, it is encouraging.

    I have been running the Larue Mounts on the M4 and T1. Those mounts come with loctite.

    I thank you all for your replies. I hope to check out a few. But living in BFE it's hard to find a dealer with them so I may take a peek.

    I love my EOTech 512 - Very fast acquisition and superb construction. Battery life is really good too, even without the Lithiums. Just wish those magnifiers weren't so darned expensive. I'd recommend it to anyone.

    I love that pretty red haired Lady that makes my days shine. I love My dog.
    But, if you want to "love" an inanimate object, have at it.

    M4C is starting to get like tos in some things. One person, who may or may not have the ability to actually understand what works/ doesn't, having one item that he/ she may/ may not use, and not actually having seen a few hundred/ thousand articles, has an opinion based on what?

    For example, LR, can you articulate what constitutes "superb construction". As compared to what? A BMW? A Leapers?
    "Really good battery life"?. Compared to what. Have you done an actual test. That is, turn it on for 8 hrs and record the actual length of the workable battery life?
    I have, on 4 articles. No, i haven't done it with an Aimpoint as i don't have a spare 80,000 hrs around.

    What i did do is take an expended battery out of a 552 RevF and place it in a Comp M4. That was a month ago- it still works in the Comp M4.

    Seperating the wheat from the chaff- or conjecture from reality, will always be a challenge- especially around guns....
