peacewalker 9 Posted July 31, 2017 Just bought a Colt LE 6920 magpul furniture and this will be my first optic. I hope I can get the hang of both eyes open. Wish me luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screwball 483 Posted July 31, 2017 I hope I can get the hang of both eyes open.Do it a few times with the cover on the objective... it's pretty cool how your eyes transpose the dot onto the target. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dino71 7 Posted July 31, 2017 I just "pulled the trigger" on mine, I hope it comes soon! I assume it comes with a battery? I saw a review on it last night and the consensus is to zero it for 50 yards. Is that what you guys did. Screwball, I only really care what you guys think about this stuff, I don't trust anything on Youtube anymore ever since I got burned buying other stuff.

No batteries, no caps and no mount for that price.... Seriously, how long have you been here and how long has the Aimpoint Pro got nothing but stellar reviews? Aimpoint is great stuff without a doubt. RIF.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screwball, I only really care what you guys think about this stuff, I don't trust anything on Youtube anymore ever since I got burned buying other stuff. 50 yard zero gives you POI within 2.5" of the dot from 0 to about 250 yards. There are benefits of other zeros, so something that you need to research and see what works best for your needs.Aimpoints come with a battery. Think most common brands supply a battery (SIG does, for example).In regards to the second part, that is nice and all... but you should never just take one source of info. I say YouTube, because you can search and get 15 different reviews on it. Usually the more trusted ones are higher rated. While some are paid, you do get a couple that are honest. And definitely look into comments. Just one source of information...Forums are another... and not just this one. There are wealths of info on forums like AR15.com, M4Carbine.net, and a few others. While I do trust people on NJGF, I also trust people out of state. Do you get some people that talk out of their rear ends? Yea, but have to wade through the BS and find the truth... usually not hard when you research multiple sources. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes batteries, Yes caps, Yes to a mount too -- The aimpoint pro comes with everything you need to mount it and shoot it The mount with the pro is decent -- It's no larue or bobro but it does the job well -- It's not exactly what would be called a quick detach but no tools needed and it's quick enough I haven't confirmed but many guys say it returns to zero just fine after removal also -- As long as you put it in the exact same place on the rail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will wander (don't care what the manufacturer says, way to keep the zero is not to pull the optic off)... but the only reason I'd pull an Aimpoint off my gun would be if the lens cracked. Battery dies, irons are visible right through the optic.The knob on the Aimpoint mount is a little large, but I don't have an issue. I have a LaRue mount on my magnifier, which is nicer for removing/installing... but was because I hated the twist mount (and I can use the LaRue mounted magnifier on all three rifles, since they are all the same height).

High Exposure 5,635 Posted August 12, 2017 I use blue loctite on everything on my rifles and holsters. I also take a paint pen and make witness marks so I can quickly tell visually if something has started to work it's way loose. I have seen way to many failures from people that haven't. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't do the knob on the Aimpoint mount, since it has a tension feature built in.I believe the screws on the mount/riser have Loctite on them, from the factory.Recoil will loosen screws. Don't care how tight you go. Loctite and torque wrench should be in everyone's toolbox. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
