I am undecided about the optics. I am considering the Trijicon RMR or Aimpoint Micro T-1 or T-2 with LaRue mount. Thoughts?
The goal is lightweight and simple.

I'm a big Aimpoint fan.

I'd pass on the T-1/2 in favor of the H1 myself. In fact, that's exactly what I did the last time I bought a micro.

[Whootsinator]

The T-1 doesn't really have a place in Aimpoint's continued line-up if you ask me. If the cost of the T-1 over the H-1 is worth it to fill your needs, the T-2 is worth the cost over both.

If you're not using a magnifier, not using night vision devices, and not diving with your rifle, the H-1 will serve you well. If you ARE doing any of the previously listed activities, require the most rugged micro sight available, require the cleanest possible dot in a micro, or want a design featuring purpose-built see-through lens covers, go with the T-2. The T-2 does use newer technology that results in a crisper dot, ESPECIALLY when magnified.

The RMR's durability doesn't compare to the Aimpoints'. Only one serious shooter that I know of uses the RMR as a primary rifle optic.

As for mounts, I prefer the LT751. Super light, LaRue quality, absolute cowitness.

Thanks. From what I have read and the people I have talked to say the Aimpoints are rock solid and the battery life is great.

Great info. I would like to get a magnifier down the road and night hog hunting might be in the future. I want to buy once.

Most people seem to be running the RMR's as back-ups and on their sidearms.

I was thinking about the LT660 mount even though I probably won't be running back-up sights on this set-up right now. Is the absolute cowitness natural or did it take getting use to visually?

[Whootsinator]

I prefer absolute cowitness and find it more natural. If you're looking at magnifiers/night vision, get a T-2 for sure.

Isn't the t1 just nv over the h1? I don't have them but that's what I remember someone that had them telling me I believe.

I will take a look at LT751 before ordering. I think the T-2 would be the best choice for what I want to do.

T-1 has nv, deeper water resistant pressures and tolerates extreme temperatures better.

Ah H1 for me then if I had the want. I'll rock trs25 and sparcs until they don't work.

[Bama]

Its a SAA lower with RRA upper, mbus sights, Magpul moe funiture, custom engraved charging handle dust cover and takedown pins, and ALG ACT trigger. Pretty much much my least custom gun.

[Penguin23b]

I wouldn't call this one a "build", but it's my baby.
-Upper is a complete BCM 14.5" mid length Enhanced Lightweight with 13" KMR and BCM Mod 1 permanently attached. Eotech EXPS2-0
-PSA lower, Geissele SSA, Magpul MOE+ grip and Magpul SL stock

Yours and mine could be brothers... or at least cousins.
