    Anyone using the Aimpoint Micro T-1 as a primary optic?

    Can it do the job of the older, larger M-68?

    Yes, absolutely.

    I am using it on my Arsenal, Inc. SLR-106FR.

    I'm running an H1 (on a T1 mount) on my Arsenal SLR-106FR. There is no difference between the H1 and T1 mount other than ones shiney black and ones flat black. Aimpoint markets the T1 as Picatinny and the H1 as Weaver.

    These are pics when it still had the H1 mount on it.

    I played with one mounted on a AR6520 via gooseneck. Very light, very functional.

    how is the mounting height of these things? Had thought about trying one on my Benelli M4 but wonder how the cheek weld would be and if the sight picture is low.

    That's actually kind of the whole point. Hence, Larue had to make a mount to raise it up for use on a flattop AR.

    From my limited experience with both, the Micro Aimpoint is the only optic I'd put on an AK or a shotgun.

    We just put a Micro T-1 on a LaRue tall riser through Jeff Gonzales three day COC carbine course firing 2300 rounds on a MK18 (11.5" M4). It never missed a beat. The Micro T-1 on a short riser actually co-witness with the HK416 sights on a 416 due to the 3/8" additional height of the receiver on that system.

    Bottomline is that the Micro T-1 on shotguns, rifles, carbines, and even handguns is superb. I am currently working with MATECH to build a ballistic compensated riser for the Micro T-1 for use on the M249, M240, MK46 and MK48s. 5 ounce optic vice a 1+ lb optic on 20lb machineguns simply makes sense for those who have to hump them.
