    Aimpoint user feedback, please

    Greetings.

    Previously i have owned a PRO. Sold it, miss it, and now a couple years later i am looking at outfitting a 16" .308 with an aimpoint.

    Im stuck between the micro on a KAC mount, and an M4s on a LaRue mount.

    Anyone use both? I like that the M4s has the AA battery with 8 years of life to boot, as well as the larger tube size should i decide to get a magnifier later (unlikely, but the option would be nice). The micro is attractive as it has 3 more daytime settings than the M4s, however im unsure about the tube size, but the minimalist nature does have the benefit of a bit less weight, while still giving 5 years of life from the less-common CR2032. While budget isnt too much of a concern, the two combo's are within $7 of each other so its a toss-up as far as price goes.

    Any and all feedback is welcome.

    Go for the Micro. From the looks of it, you are going for lightweight and speed. Unless you are actively shooting 400+ yards all the time, I'd get the Micro.

      Aimpoint micro all day for me. Lightweight and take up little space. 5 years, Midway sells Energizer 2032s at a buck each, buy a few spares.

        I am sure if LMT made a red dot you would already have one With that said, I have 5 M4s optics on various semi-autos and recommend them but you know how these threads go.

              I have the entry level Aimpoint ACO and I love it. It is just rock solid. Holds zero forever. Next one will be one of the micros. I do mostly range shooting <300 yards.

                    Same here. I prefer the smaller and lighter micro sights.
