    Which Aimpoint...?

    I am debating between an Aimpoint H-1 Micro or an Aimpoint Comp ML3 or Aimpoint CS LINK HERE

    Was going to get the NV model but I wll never own NV in my life most likely so why bother.

    I like the weight of the H1, but I dont like the looks. (BTW I plan to mount the H1 with the Larue mount and the CompML3 with an ARMS mount). I love the looks of the ML3, has that Aimpoint look to it .

    Surprisingly they are both going to be about the same price. Right around $500. Which one do I choose and why?

    BTW. Dont suggest an EOTech to me! Great reticle, but aweful battery life and more weight.

      The T-1 is my favorite carbine optic right now - my history with these optics goes back to the old Aimpoint 1000 through the CompMLs and into the EOTechs. The T-1 is fantastic.

        I would recommend ML3 with LaRue mount. I have seen too many problems with the Arms mounts.

          Micro T-1 + Larue High mount is the hottest setup lately....

            Ok so it looks like no ML3 with ARMS mount. If I go ML3 I will certainly get a LaRue mount.

            The Aimpoint H1 I can grab with a Larue mount right now for just barely under $495 shipped.

            I can get the Aimpoint CS w/ Larue Riser for $440. + Shipping

            I can get the Aimpoint Comp ML3 for $525 + Shipping

              Dont forget I am getting the H1 not the T1. T1 is a little out of the price range. I know this may be stupid to some people, but I also dont like the looks of it much with the Larue mount. I do like its function.

              To be honest I am leaning towards that Aimpoint CS and a close second it the H1 in a Larue mount.

                I also prefer the regular Aimpoints and don't like the looks of the micros as much, BUT, can't deny it's a great fast optic, so I am leaning back to the Micro H1 myself since I don't need NV or water proof protection to 1 million feet.

                Watch this and see what they use....

                      Must be Volume One. It was a 3 DVD magpul set. Never even looked at it.

                        Is there an Aimpoint scope that will mount directly to the AR15 carry handle? I searched manufacturer website could not seem to find one.

                          Pretty sure they all do. You just need the right mount.

                              I'm aware of that. But my preference would be to have a scope that will mount directly to the AR15 carry handle which is a mount. In other words I really would prefer not to have a mount on a mount.

                              An example of a scope that will mount directly to the carry handle with one bolt would be a number of ACOG models.
