Aimpoint Comp M4s or Aimpoint T-2?

[wsenefeld]

I'm sending back my second Trijicon MRO after both units had multiple issues straight from the factory. I want to replace it with an optic that has a solid reputation and I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to these two optics. I've found the M4s for $668 and the T-2 for $625, so the price difference isn't really an issue. The optic will be going on the rifle below. Also open to other suggestions.

Micro all the way.

 

[M67]

Curious, what issues with the MRO did you have?

Take a look at the Meprolight Tru-Dot RDS. You can probably get one for $280 (30% discount from $400 regular price) on Black Friday.

Curious, what issues with the MRO did you have?

Optical shift, ghosting, uneven magnification (on what's supposed to be a 1x). These issues were easily noticeable on both units. If you get on arfcom you'll see these issues recurring throughout all the serial numbers, not just a select few. Some people get a great unit, while others get a turd.

Just another rds that Trijicon fails to launch without significant issues.

That's a shame. I really wanted to like the SRS but the first few I looked through there was ghosting and glare issues. I'm sure they've since figured it out but still.

I really wanted to like the MRO too, still might get one in the future. I like all my Trijicons and have faith that they'd make it right, would just be nice if the QC was tighter and not have to worry about it.


I'll give you $100 for the MRO since it's a turd

T2 all the way. I have the h1, was significantly cheaper and got a good deal on it past the normal price difference, I'm not scuba diving or running nvg's but I really prefer the size over the slightly bulkier trijicon options. That's a shame the mro has issues

I think they just dumped the SRS line but i could be wrong. Trijicon should not make red dots outside the RMR. Its just not what they are good at.

 

[Bfish]

I voted T2... Keep it small!

 

[tradertator]

T2 unless you want to use a magnifier now or possibly in the future.

I have to agree with the others that I'm disappointed in the launch of the MRO and it's performance. I really love Trijicon, and have faith they will make it right though.

 

[Vigilant]

While the T-2 is sweet, I vote the Comp M4 for the above reason of later magnification. I'm still running the old M68/CompM2, only because the thing won't die so I can buy an M4.

 

[milton]

Micro for me also. I don't notice much difference in performance between the micro and the comp, but I like the weight savings. I'd also say if magnifier was a possibly, maybe the comp instead.

 

[bigcraig]

I vote other.

Aimpoint Pro.

Quality at a fair price.

 

[mikefraz]

My vote is a mini-ACOG. Fits right into your price range. Just an option to think about.

No magnifier in the foreseeable future. If I need to go out that far, I'll grab another one of my ARs (that isn't an SBR) with an ACOG or Viper PST 1-4x.

Not that I plan on destroying the optic, but I'd like something with a little more durability.

Having a hard time finding any of them in stock for less than $900.


Any others to consider before I purchase another T-2? Anybody running an M21 or an RX34?

 

[tradertator]

I've used both of those, and I personally hate how they wash out under certain (albeit) extreme lighting conditions. That said, both have a long track record of reliable service in the hands of brave men fighting with them.

 

[Markus]

Can I change my vote? Just noticed Bacon was a choice!

You realize the Pro is essentially a ML3-2moa, which is pretty much a battle proven RDS.

Nothing against the PRO. I have one (have owned 3) on my suppressed .308 SBR and it's never let me down. I'd even argue that it's the best bang for the buck in quality optics. All that said, it's still not an M4s or a T-2.

Slight thread jack: any word on a Sparc type model with increased battery life being worked on? As it stands, the Sparc needs a change of batteries every 3 months or so instead of 3 years or more on an aimpoint. From the looks of things they are quite durable, but the electronics aren't advanced enough.
