Got an Aimpoint. Mount?

[Indy Wing Chun]

Well, I went ahead and purchased an Aimpont H-1. I fell victim to all of esrice's propaganda!

I bought a 1-year old, used one and it just came with a low mount. It seems to me that the consensus here is that THE mount to get is the Larue. Am I correct to assume this?

Are there any other mounts to consider that have the same following due to quality and reputation? I'm looking for a QD type mount that will bring the sight to 1/3 cowitness.

What about American Defense Manufacturing? They have a 1-piece model that does this without the use of a spacer.

Help me INGO Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!

You already know the answer, don't fight it, get the larue.

Fall for some more-- go LaRue.

ADM and some others make good mounts. But there's just something about LaRue mounts. Maybe its their return-to-zero capability. Maybe its the simplicity of their locking QD lever. Maybe its the load of free swag that comes with them. I dunno.

You won't be disappointed.

LaRue Micro mounts don't use a spacer either.

Congrats on the H1 btw.

I like cowitness the best, because I can zero my iron sites to the red dot (or vice versa) without firing a shot. This is even more important to me when I remove and remount the scope. Never had a problem with the FSP blurring the view, even with a magnified scope.

This should seal the deal!

FINE! You win. I ordered the Larue mount today from their website.

I was actually surprised to see that it was much cheaper directly from them than from other online sources. Usually you'll see people offering items cheaper than the manufacturer, but this was not the case.

Oh well, either way my H-1 and mount should be here and ready to go by next week.

Plus you'll get some fun swag when ordering directly.

You can do that with a lower 1/3 as well. When looking through the center of the optic, the sights are in the lower 1/3. When looking through the sights, the reticle of the optic will cowiness with them.

Good call on going with Larue direct. This time of year of year they usually include a Christmas "dillo", and a hat instead of meat rub.

Their seasoning is very good.

The Aimpoint arrived last night and the mount is scheduled to arrive today.

You know, between esrice and the web, I must have seen a thousand pics of the micro dot, but they do not do it justice. Jeez that thing is small! Man, I can't wait to mount this thing on my rifle and shoot it!

once you set it, remember what spot on the rail you had it and you can take it on and off and not lose zero. i use mine for multigun and general plinking, and also use irons quite a bit. i have a cheap 4x scope that i sometimes use (have to make minor adjustments when putting back on, but it was cheap). the aimpoint/larue, zeroed at 50, take it off, drop kick it, put it back on, no change. you will love it. wish i would have gone with the h-1 instead of the t-1 myself for the smaller dot, but, you live and you learn, still love it.

And crazy light, eh?

 

[Yeah]

And crazy shiny.
