Ok I just sold a RMR I was not using & have a little extra $ so I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Aimpoint Micro T-1.
My question is who currently has the best price? Also what mount do you guys recommend? I'm a big fan of QD mounts. I really llike the looks of the Seekins but wanted some feedback from someone who ran one. http://www.brownells.com/optics-mounting/rings-mounts-amp-bases/rifle-bases/aimpoint-micro-mount-prod55414.aspx |
| I don't know who has the best current price for the T1. That being said I would recommend a LaRue mount, they have setups that come with the T1 and mount together and not really horrible prices when you consider the package you get. Check out their web site for the combos and call them, they are very helpful. |

Please take a look at the just released Bobro mount. I just received mine today, and it's light years ahead of any other mount available. I've owned Larue and ADM in the past. I actually sold my LT660 in favor of the Bobro. I ran it pretty hard yesterday. Popped it on and off a couple dozen times, never lost zero. It's a damn good mount. |

I recently ordered from here:
http://www.sportoptics.com/aimpoint-red-dot-scopes.aspx Great prices, fast and free shipping. |

What does Bobro do that ADM and LT can't? Bobro mounts never need to be adjusted. They don't mark up my rails like the Larue. Bobro also has better return to zero than either Larue or ADM. Most Bobro mounts can be reversed, and all bobro levers can be configured in either direction. Like CChurchi said, they are light years ahead of anything else. I understand that Larue is a crowd favorite, and being a much larger operation, they have way more types of mounts. I like Larue, and have their swag all over my house from the years and years of purchases I've made, but I like Bobro better. |

Looks a bit ridiculous on a T1 if you ask me. It's on the heavy side and has multiple times more parts than a LaRue or ADM mount too. I haven't seen anything that shows Bobro having better return to zero than LaRue, but I've seen tests that show them equal. Would you mind sharing the source on that? Idk about "light years ahead" either but they are great for powered optics. To the original question LaRue or AIM tend to have the best prices. There's another place TOS likes that I can't say on here with good prices. |

I'm not a Larue fanboy, but i still think Larue makes the best QD mount--lighter and narrower and simpler than bobro.
I love Bobro, but it's just too wide--kinda like how I like KAC, but there lever seems too thin/dainty and sticks out too far. Now that ADM makes a mount that is 1-piece and doesn't use risers (American Defense ADT110), I think that would be a good option...IF (a) the Larue combo wasn't such a good deal and, (b) the ADM was offered in my prefered lower 1/3rd (I don't think it is). I think DD, Seekins, and FORTIS need to design QD versions of their mounts. |

The lever on them bobros has it beat I would say. |

The Bobro sticks out the same amount. The lever area is a little taller where it sticks out, and with the T1, where it sticks out is longer (although not as long as the double lever ones), however unlike the Larue and ADM mounts, you get to decide which side the lever is on, and which direction the lever flips out. |

When mounted the Bobro is wider. The mount almost dwarfs the T1. Think you can save a full 1oz and some $ just by going with LaRue. |

I know it's about double the price of the other T1 mounts, but has anyone used the GDI mounts? I'm debating one..

Those are very good pics, but looked at from most any other angle you can see why it weighs more...it's very wide along the entire length.
Google image search for Bonro Micro shows lots of good pics; google image of larue lt660 does too. Also, can you store an extra battery inside the mount? I like that about the LT660. Bobro is top quality stuff--more innovative than the others. But the Larue COMBO deal puts the LT660 at like $50-$55...best value around (even better than ADM unless you buy the T-1 separately). ETA: I'm sure GDIs are great, and I see they're sending their stuff out to magazines, but I don't see how they can justify that price unless they're all titanium and reduce group size by 20%. ;) |

Then again I have not used a Bobro mount. ETA: OP did you get your Micro? |
