Thanks Paulo!!!

Are there any particular aimpoint models you could suggest?

Are you using NV device?
Do you plan on using a magnifier?
How far are you shooting?

 

[paulosantos]

no nv
undecided on the magnifier but it is a possibility
300 yards or less

Get one with the 2MOA Dot. Either the 2MOA ML2 or 2MOA ML3. If you feel like spending $700 for a red dot, then get the M4.

how does the 2x magnification affect its ability to be used in close quarters?

Any magnified optic will be much slower in CQB. Even if you use both eyes open and use the BAC concept.

thanks!

Edit: I wanted to ask what the differences are in in the MOA dots? Im new to AR's let alone optics Im assuming the dot sizes are different but not sure why. I imagine that in a situation such as home defense the size of the dot may not matter that much but when shooting longer distances it could. ??? (Thanks for your patience!)

The 2MOA dot will cover up 2" at 100 yards. The 4MOA dot will cover up 4" at 100 yards. In a CQB situation, you will eant the biggest dot possible becuase it is easier to pick up. Here is my little rule when picking a 2MOA or 4MOA dot:

4MOA Dot: Best for 0-50 yard shooting.
2MOA Dot: Best for 0-300 yards shooting and when using a magnifier.

It doesn't mean that you can't use a 4MOA dot at 300 yards, it is easier to use a 2MOA for it.

So I have yet another question! :lol:

What mount should I get for the CompC3? I see that the optic comes with rings for weaver bases? (Not sure what that means for me) Is there a mount that would allow me to co-witness the red dot with the iron sights? It took forever for me to figure out which scope to go with now I have to figure out how to mount it! :? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

If you have the cash, get the LaRue Tactical Cantilever CompM2 LT-129.
