Stop shooting those things, they are too expensive for you to be shooting them up.

Its OK, it was an Aimpoint. It can take it.

I see what you did there. I like the 2 MOA dot but not better than the EOs retical, but I'll give up retical for battery-life

Same here.

Curious-- how did you like the controls on the Aimpoint versus the controls on the XPS? (I'm not familiar with the switchology on the XPS)

Been looking at a gemtech all day.

Buy one. You know you want to.

In fact, if you buy a HALO I will put it on my SBR and let you shoot it.

Well I was using the XPS3, T-1 2 MOA, and the Comp M4.

XPS3:The buttons make positive ''Clicks'' if you could call them that when you press them. When you power it up it goes automatically to 12. Which is plenty bright

T-1: Love the knob gives positive clicks and feels sturdy.

Comp M4: Rotary knob is great but weight is kind of a issue

All and all I would take both into combat. They both feel bombproof

Do you feel like you could hit the right buttons in the right order under the cover of darkness? With a gloved hand? Or as someone is beating down your back door?

The SOP with an Aimpoint is to leave it ON all the time, so there is never a need to turn it on.
