| Which of these two sights is better and why? |
|
do a search for "aimpoint" then one for "reflex", it will give you some good info. The general consensus is Aimpoint is recommended, why ? reflex has a tendency to washout with certain backgrounds. I have a reflex II NSN, I like it, but I shoot under good lighting conditions. I will eventually get an aimpoint for my SHTF gun. In the early days the Reflex was a hot ticket because of no batteries to fail, with the current Aimpoint design battery life is no longer an issue. Both the Reflex and Aimpoint are rugged units. |
| Well, I must admit, its srt of a sad day. I just sold my Reflex and bought a Comp ACOG. The Reflex was the very first optic I ever bought. And I really like it. Second optic I got was the Aimpoint. Really like it too. For a long, long time I favored the Reflex over the Aimpoint, but at some point, I guess it was about a year or so ago, the Aimpoint won me over as the dot sight of choice. Reflex has well documented and very real issues with some lighting conditions, use with a tac light and a blue tint. You can learn to manage most of these issues with some practice and creativity. Despite being battery operated and requiring to be turned on, Aimpoints are much easier to use. |

[url=http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=190376]Here's an ARFcom shooters perspective on [i]his[/i] reflex.[/url] I have two. The first one I got was a first generation 4moa sight that I bought for $70. It came with a flattop and a goosneck mount. An excellent deal. My current reflexII (triangle) is worth a little more because it's much newer, so I'm selling it. Neither one have given me a problem except when I'm aiming from a dark area into a brightly lit area, at which point I deploy my BUIS. |
