For those of you who have had experience (there are no gun shops that carry quality optics near me)... I'm curious about the T1/H1 vs M3/PRO. I would think that a T1 would be faster than an M3/PRO at short distances because it isn't a 5 inch long tube. Am I correct or is there no real difference in how fast you can be? Also, the 2 MOA dot would be nice for use with a magnifier, but then I got to thinking, at longer distances where a magnifier would really be helpful (with a 50 yard zero) I would have to hold the dot above the target anyways so dot size wouldnt really matter at distances of ~250 and longer. Am I correct to assume this? Any input would be nice. Thanks!

I don't find either to be inherently faster, but the T1 obscures less of your target due to the thinner housing.

Tomac While I don't have a problem using the T1 in awkward position, the larger Aimpoints do provide greater margin for error. The two situations that make the most difference IME is Supine and shooting with a gas mask. |
| Excellent. So the only real performance differences between the different Aimpoints (assuming night vision compatible) would be the battery life (pretty much a non-issue anyways), weight, and dot size. Thank you all for the replies, you have reaffirmed what I have been guessing. |
