Looking to get a Primary Arms red dot next month for my birthday and i'm torn between the (AA gen 3 aka M4) or the (MD-06) with one would you guys pick and why?

Micro for weight and rail space savings. Plus I loved mine.

+1 for weight and size of the md-06, but I'll probably go md- 06l just so I can use my left hand to turn the dials.

have both, voted AA.

-larger tube = cheekweld more forgiving.
-softer dial = easier to turn on/off and adjust brightness
-flip caps = harder to lose than bikini caps

the AA has a multi-reticle version.  but if you need the BDC and stuff, only the scopes have that :)

i sold my pac3x for the 4-14x44
i'll be selling the micro dot for a PA advanced series (i want the touch button on, and then it starts at mid power brightness)

Thanks for the input guys keep them coming.  They both have there plus and minus, I wish I had the money to get both but I have a cheap wife lol &  I am also saving for a full Magpul furniture setup.

Get one each and sell the one you don't like on the EE.

Take a look at the MD-AD and the advanced red dot too. The advanced is big and solid and the AD has flip caps and a nice view.

The poll is leaning towards the Micro but my stupid self Luke's the look of the AA gen 3. I really like the fact that it uses a "AA" battery and it has 10,000 hrs of battery life. Plus I always get a bulk pack of "AA" at BJ's so I always have some at home. I also like the larger field of view. I think I'm going to go opposite of this poll. Bit I still have a month to make up my mind. I would love to see someone put it through the test lol. I was playing around with the gunstruction app and I love the look.. http://i61.tinypic.com/95ygi1.png" />

another option to just look at is the lucid hd7 gen 3. in one of the videos tho they put it under water twice and seemed to fog up but idk if you don't plan to play around with it in water it should be ok. looks more like an acog and has different reticle then the PA.

Model 06 voted here. That thing is rugged, and about as close to a real t-1 as you're going to get.

I have the Micro, which I put on my S&W MP 15-22.  I have AP PRO's on my two ARs, but really like the smaller footprint of the micro.

Neither

I love my micro.  I got it for $59 during their black friday sale, and it even came with a lever QD mount that seems to hold zero.  Wonderful little red dot, and absolutely bullet proof construction.  I'll buy another one next time they run a sale.
