That weight includes the mount, illumination module and adjustable diopter.

Take your Aimpoint with you to the exam and explain to the doc what you are trying to accomplish. He/she can work with you to reduce the distortion in the dot.

Thanks, but the dot isn't blurry anymore. I was just giving advice. My first RDS, many years ago, clued me in on getting a current eye exam, and a new prescription, hence the blurriness is long gone.

I figured the module was included in the weight spec, and of course the diopter is an intrinsic component of the unit. Didn't know the mount was included too though -- that helps.
Lighter than just about any variable, but heavier than a non-diopter-adjustable Aimpoint or Eotech. Get choice of fuzzy-light or heavy-clear.

Quick question, I was looking at the TR24 but was wondering if my problem could be fixed with an ACOG in a 3x or 4x?

For astigmatism, the feature you need on any optic is an adjustable diopter, which are usually found on rifle scopes along with telescopes, binoculars, etc. To my knowledge, none of the ACOG's have that.

So, from what I gather, the 2moa dots are worse with astigmatism than the 4moa? The reason I ask, I just got, and mounted, a new 2moa, and it looks like a paint splatter to me. Im really dissapointed with it at this point. Would trading for a 4moa help me? Or do I need an optic change all together?
Thanks,

Only thing to be disappointed in is that you're a human and you're deteriorating with age like the rest of us. There's nothing wrong with your RDS. Just time for an eye exam.

So what are my options? With an eye exam, what can they do if they do find astigmatisms? Will contacts or glasses fix the problem?
Thanks,
