Kind of a dupe thread of one I put in the AK section but I figured it may get answered more quickly here being that aimpoints are common in the AR world.
I plan to run irons on my rifle for awhile (Arsenal SLR107) but want a red dot at some point, I've narrowed it to either an Aimpoint Pro (which I'm also thinking about on my AR middy) or a micro of some kind, what are the pros and cons of each type? Very little experience with red dot sights and no knowledge of micros whatsoever, I've just seen a lot of them lately so I thought maybe there's something to them. I'm thinking an RS mount if it matters. http://www.rsregulate.com/products.php Any opinions are appreciated. |

For an already heavy AK, the micro for sure. Have you considered an Ultimak rail or MI dedicated front end? It will allow the micro to co-witness irons and either will also give you a place to mount a light as a bonus.
I have used an Ultimak on an AK while working overseas, so I can vouch for it. If I had an AK now, I'd get the MI extended handguard with built in micro mount, looks like the best mousetrap. http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=449 |

What kind of micro dots are there in competition with the aimpoints? |
