I have used it with a Comp M4, not a T-1, so cannot comment on whether the increase in dot size is an issue or not. A low power variable scope is a very good tool as well, but I don't think it is the best solution for everyone. Magnification is Alpha Omega on the Battlefield, either through weapon mounted equipment, or hand held. I prefer a combination of the two; Aimpoint and magnifier in addition to 8x30R Steiner military binoculars with reticle is what I carried. I also do not see the weight argument.
A Micro T-1 with a 3x weighs in at grams including mounting hardware, a Comp M4 and 3x weighs grams. I don't know how these numbers stack up against low power variable scopes that are out now, but my Short Dot is a lot heavier.
While they're clearly not for everyone, I really like mine. I like the fact that if I really want to remove the magnifier and run the dot sight alone, I can. With a variable power RDS, you have all, or nothing. That might not be a factor for some, depending on mission requirements. The flip-to-side on the G23 or the slap-to-side on the G33 means you don't have to use it all the time.
Last course I did, I used the magnifier for the yard courses of fire then flipped it out of the way for closer. That worked very well. Lack of FOV didn't bother me at all. The magnifier itself has a quick-detach, so in a training evolution where it's not needed, just pop it off and put it in your dump pouch.
I ran a 3x behind an aimpoint PRO for a while and although I liked it I found that a low power variable scope offered more for me. I've since moved to a x and find that it offers me more magnification for similar weight.
I've since moved my aimpoint to a different gun and still have the 3x in a twist mount. The twist mount is nice if you want to keep your gun light but want the option to add magnification. I have a nightforce magnified optic but prefer to shoot with a RDS whenever possible. I can hit pretty accurately out to yards but I am pretty much just guessing to a degree as I can only see an outline. I was thinking more of getting one in a larue flip to side so it was there when needed and out of the way when not.
I have a T-1 and a M4s so figured I could just switch between rifles. Still debating. Problem I see is price, weight and field of view. Benefits are use on multiple zeroed rifles, magnification, durability. Nobody locally runs them, all of my friends run either RDS or straight magnified, would be nice to try one at the range to even see if I like them before shelling out the cash.
Can't get real feel in gun store I think the video is a reason not to use a cheap RDS and has nothing to do with people using a quality magnifier behind a quality RDS. Write a Review. Compare 0. Remove All. I dont know how anyone can honestly give this a 5 star review because its a small scope on a hinged mount for over dollars. I guess it could be worse it could be an aimpoint which is an aluminum tube with a piece of glass in it with a 2moa dot on it that they want clams for.
Seriously people wake up These things are not worth this kind of money. The only reason that they can get away with charging this kind of dough is because we keep paying it! LOL the magnifiers will only cost that much as long as enough people are willing to pay that much for them. When enough of us refuse to buy at that price, then the price will come down. I refuse to be ripped off. Thank you for this.
I ordered 2 of these, and they have arrived. The quality is amazing, extremely well built. I think they're brand new, came vacuum sealed in a box with german markings, padding, and desiccant.
No instructions though. It is solid, but also rather heavy, if someone has a EOTech multiplier, could you please weight it without the mount? I'd like to compare. Also, the range finder is a bit annoying, someone mentioned that it can be removed. Could someone explain how to do that, particularly without compromising the waterproof integrity? The reticles are designed to range a tank sized object and give you the distance. They are excellent quality optics and work well if you can ignore the optic.
Mark Larue bought some of these and paid to have the reticle removed and the units purged and refilled with nitrogen. I'm sure it would be possible to find someone who would do this for you but the cost for a one of job would be pretty steep. The little prismatic window is to allow the attachement of an illumination device so that you can illuminate the reticle at night and make it glow red.
These units are almost bulletproof in terms of quality. Once you find a mount that places them at the right level to match your sight you will be all set. It looks good, but I haven't had a chance to use the weapon with it on yet, though there is a lot of play in the mount.
Thanks for that. It has a low cost German Surplus 2. It has your indicated mount. Here's what I think so far. The XPS2 is pretty good. I like it. Though I don't like that it's quite heavy, the tank rangefinder is clutter, and it's only 2. The mount kind of sucks. That actually worked pretty well, and it's rather solid in the ring now. My problem with the mount is that it's cheap Air-soft quality.
The flip part wiggles, even when closed, causing the multiplier to wiggle. I expect it to wiggle during recoil, which won't be good. The switch to flip can stick in the open position. And the mount weights a LOT. The trade off is it's heavy, and the mount is not very solid.
