Advantages of Aimpoint M4 vs M3

[jhs1969]

I like the M4s but again personal preference. All our agency guns have Aimpoints (M2, M3 and Pro) and all serve the purpose well. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Well said, I dont' think you will find a "bad" Aimpoint.

Another advantage to the M4 and T1 over the C3/M2/M3 that I haven't seen yet... Correct installation in their mounts is not reliant upon calculation or estimation of TDS, and adjustment knobs will always be oriented the correct way. This is a problem for some LCDs.

excellent point. I've seen quite a few people with M2/M3's mounted incorrectly.

I tried a loaner M4 for a few weeks. Couldn't learn to love it.

When I first got it, it had a puked battery in the compartment. Not so messy that it affected function, but it highlighted a potential downside.

I haven't had a chance to run a compM3, but I can say that I didn't like how much of my field of view was gobbled up by the bulk of the M4.

If you didn't like the M4, you won't like the M3.

Stick to your irons Mark.

I kinda liked shooting the H-1/T-1 sight. That RDS is much less bulk and clutter.

I just ordered the H-1 with tall TRP mount from Brownell's for $455 shipped. I hope I like it as much as everyone hangs on the T-1/H-1 design.

T-1 in a absolute co-witness mount is great IMHO.

You might like the ACOG TA44S-10.

That thing has great field of fiew.

The M3 blocks more view than the M4 I think.

I have tried all of the aimpoints over the years, M-2, M-3, M-4, T-1
I have liked them all in some way shape or form, they all had their pluses and negatives, in the end I have 2 Knights SR-15 rifles and 1 BCM rifle and all 3 have the Aimpoint Comp 4's mounted on them, overall they just seem to work the best for me, I also have not had any issues at all with any Aimpoint products (period)

Thanks
