Whats your OPTIC of choice for 1st AR15?

Aimpoint PRO

 

[X-Factor]

Install was obviously a breeze. I love it so far, cant wait for a range test. Can't believe I paid more for it than I did for my Glock lol. Rugged and solid feeling, nice case too.

Here we go: Spike's ST-15 lower, Magpul grip, LWRC LPK, BCM 16" midlength upper w/ Troy Medieval brake (not pictured), BCM BCG, BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 CH, VLTOR EMod stock (not pictured), Magpul ASAP plate (single point sling attachment), Magpul BUIS/Eotech XPS2-0 (Absolute Co-witness, no riser, no quick detach). Total LOADED weight is 8.4lbs.

I have an Aimpoint CompM2 on my AR. Every time it comes out of the case the sight is dead on, so I'm reasonably confident it'll do the job if I ever seriously need it to.

I saw a Burris TAC30 at Bass Pro today. Looked pretty nice at a relatively affordable price. Illuminated reticle, 1-4x.

I have an TA 31RCO (4X ACOG), with Dr. Optic. It cost more than my gun, but I really like it.

 

[Ooops]

Iron sights

Troy fixed battle sights are the only "optic" I use. Bought a Vortex Strikefire just to try it out. Worst idea ever, the power button easily turns on while in a gun bag or even a pelican style case. And the dot is not very uniformed, almost grainy if you will. Strikefire=FAIL

Aimpoint is where Ive been aiming towards.

Turn the power down, otherwise the dot gets grainy. It's worse of you have astigmatism.

Maybe that's why I hate EOTechs so much... I have astigmatism and it feels like I'm staring into a freaking bunch of lasers when I look thru one.

For me the AimPoint is the only RDO I can use without issues.

Are you focusing on the "dot"? I had the same problem until I took it to the range and pointed it at something the EOTech cleared right up.

I have not had the privilege using an aimpoint, I have an EOTech XPS 3-2 and I love it for shooting with both eyes open and the FOV, I have Primary arms Aimpoint knock off that is solid and no matter how hard i try I always revert to one eye shooting looking down the tube. All the ones named and most of the knock offs at Primary Arms are very good for the money.

Anybody ever try one of the Millett 1x4 DMS scopes?

Seems like a combo of a red dot and scope.

I shoot both eyes open and it still bothers me. Reminds me of virtual boy or something, like a bunch of tiny lasers making up the reticle image. With an Aimpoint I see a clean dot.

Could it also be color or how bright the reticle is?

I have one. They're hit or miss on quality, but mine is on a competition rifle. The red dot is useless in daylight, so it acts like a regular scope then. Earlier versions had issues, but it seems they cleared them up.

People think $600 plus a $200 LaRue mount is too expensive. Oh, well. more for me!

I ran the scope on one of my older ar's in a diffrent mount ( waiting on my larue) I have to say it was fast on target aquastion and the bdc is right one!

This was a great buy and great advice to buy it!!
