Awesome review; glad I could be a part of it.
Great job on that LaRue mount video. Not bad for a single take.

any chance you guys can do an Aimpoint Comp VS Micro review?
Off topic question, any chance you guys can do an Aimpoint Comp VS Micro review?
I was set on the scope from reading so much about how you should use a 1-4 for multi-gun. Now I am not so sure. Maybe the red dot would be better for me.
iChoke, before you even chime in about Marines and their 500 yds Iron's, I shot two-gun a few weeks ago with a young Marine officer, and lets just say, watching him I am very suspicious of your story.
Do you have a picture of the reticle you used? I think there are a couple to chose from. I'm pretty sold on this for my 300BLK. I'm glad you showed what larue mount needed to be purchased, i looked into that and they list about 5...thousand. Excellent review.
I'm glad you did this review, I've been curious about something like this, but think I may be better served to just add a 3x magnifier to my Micro T1.
Very well done men! Now I don't know what to buy! I was set on the scope from reading so much about how you should use a 1-4 for multi-gun. Now I am not so sure. Maybe the red dot would be better for me.
That would be like the world's shortest review.
Want an Aimpoint for under $400? Get a Comp series.
Want an Aimpoint in the smallest, lightest package available? Get a Micro!
Done!
Which is better for you depends on where you shoot matches and who designs the stages. If you shoot at a club like AtlantaCC where the longest possible shots will be less than 40 yards, a magnified optic makes little sense.
If you shoot at a club that stretches to 100-200 yards occasionally, then you have a decision to make. How does the match director design stages? Are they mostly open targets, or do you have to hit small targets? Will they be from supported positions or offhand?
If you shoot more than 200 yards, you'll probably want magnification.
Another thing ... if you're serious about the competition, you'll want to consider matching your optics to a given match. Or, have two rifles, one with a red dot and the other with a telescope.
As far as the "eye box" thing goes, eye relief is going to play a huge role in how quickly you can acquire a sight picture, regardless of the magnification. Some scopes are better than others. The Trijicon Accupoint 1.2-4X and 1-4X pretty much set the standard in terms of generous and forgiving eye relief.
