Im looking at an M2 currently and have a few questions.
1. Are there any key signs that would says stay away? (I.e he had it serviced recently by Aimpoint and he said he replaced the rheostat knob) Things like that.
2. Would you recommend i save my money for an Micro instead as that was the optic i was wanting to get in the first place, but dont have the $$$ for.
3. The guy wants $320 For The M2+ Larue LT-150, and some Bikini covers (no flip ups)
Should i jump on this or wait? Im having a hard decision on this .
What do you think?

I would set aside the $320 and add to it till I could get a H-1.

See thats the thing though, here in Canada a H-1 costs $729.00 plus tax (12%) and the T-1 costs $814.99 plus tax. Both without mounts (That are useful)
So i would really have to save up $380 for the H-1 and $494 for the T-1.
The M2 here sells for $569.99 without a mount, so i jumped on it and bought the M2.

If you can't or don't want to spend the extra money on a micro, it sounds like you have a pretty good deal lined up.



I would probably jump on that depending on the the condition of the optic and mount.

I think you made a good choice. The battery life isn't as astronomical on the M2 as it is on the T-1, but if once-a-year battery replacement is a hassle you need to get your head looked at. Still a quality RDS.

I would jump on that deal as well.  I love the M2 and it served me well in Iraq during my first deployment.  Add a LaRue mount to the equation and $350 sounds like a great deal to me.

This.  

I used to despise aimpoints until I gave an M2 a shot because it was a good deal.  Now I'm in love.

The M2 & LaRue mount sounds like a good deal.  Solid.

However, you may want to consider the R1 (from Midway for $299).  Then throw a DD mount and some krylon on there and you're GTG.  

ETA - congrats.  Don't forget to post pics!
