| Micro T-2 vs Pro vs CompM4s |
|
Depends on your budget and usage.
I've got a PRO in the standard QRP2 mount on one AR and a T-2 in Bobro mount on another. I suppose the T-2 is better, but not by much. It does block less of my sight line when shooting more dynamically, with both eyes open and scanning, but it's not a huge difference. Perhaps I'd value the T-2 more if I was still carrying the rifle all day long, but I am not. The PRO is a fantastic optic. Accurate, reliable, extremely rugged, and battery life for years. Sure, it weighs more and is more bulky, but I still love the hell out of mine. |

Is spending $700 on a new red dot really stretching your budget? Yes-Go with a PRO because if you have a hard time affording the T2 the Comp M4 won't save you but 100 bucks if that 100 bucks makes a more justifiable difference go with that then for battery commonality. Also why isn't the T-1 an option?
If that doesn't hurt your budget much go with the T-2 |

T1/T2 if you want compact, lightweight, and durable. The trade-off is a more narrow field of view. However, the H1/H2 would satisfy most end user's needs.
PRO if you want full-size, affordable, reliable. Trade off is a bit more weight, less battery life. This would satisfy the majority of users out there. M4/M4s if you need bomb-proof durability, unmatched extended battery life, and extreme environment survivability. Trade-off is size and weight. The CompM4s remains the epitome of combat RDS design. |

I'd go with the compM4 because of the reasons he posted^^ Never been a fan of small viewing windows. Tube size is a non issue for me when shooting with both eyes open. Then what matters is how well the RDS gets our of your sight line, and the Micros win there for me. |

Why does everyone want the T-series? Are you guys going to dive under the water or use night vision? Just get a H1. T2 advantages: tighter dot that magnifies better, better glass, a more rugged enclosure, built-in flip caps, and helicoil inserts. Are those features worth the added expense? Depends what you prioritize and how much the price difference matters to you. For many, the PRO is more than good enough. For others, a $60 PA RDS is good enough. I like my T-2, but it's a stretch to say it is worth the added expense over my PRO. |

Of those three, I would get the PRO and a larue mount. I have compM2s and compM3s on my rifles and I really prefer the bigger window to the micro red dots.
The M4s is roughly double the price of PRO, and for me and my budget it's not worth the extra cost when the only benefit I would perceive would be AA battery compatibility. I can buy enough 1/3N batteries to last about 400 years with the price difference. |

Of those choices, price no object -
M4S. Larger viewing window than the Micros - and I do shoot both eyes open, yadda yadda yadda, still don't like looking through a piece of macaroni. Improved and strengthened brightness adjustment knob than the PRO. I've seen my fair share of Aimpoint knobs twisted off, and done it to a few myself. ~Augee |
