AIMPOINT ML2 or ML3

I would go with the ML3. the may difference is the increase in battery life 10,000 hrs on low setting up to 50,000 hrs on the ML3. I would also go with the ML3 as it is available with the 2MOA dot.

Having been a Aimpoint fan for a long time I recently switched to the M3 2MOA dot and love the smaller dot, for close-up shotting just increase the brightness and turn it down for more precise longer distance shooting. My personal M3 has been left on for over 4 months now and counting with no noticable difference in intensity.

Everything that Boltgun and Gadget have said is bang-on, however don't confuse what you want with what works. I use an older CompM-XD with 3 minute dot, this piece is dimensionally the same as all Aimpoints in the series however I have only 1000 Hours of battery life, I can live with it, the dot size is perfect and the price was less that half of the newer units. I have the original box and did notice that the original price was $654.00, I think the new M3 units are well past the $800.00 mark.

Is right I am a equipment whore;) , that being said and done he is right by saying the CompM-XD will do the job at a fraction of the cost of the new model.

It should be noted that as Gadget keeps upgrading I keep on buying his old stock, two of my 3 Aimpoints are his old ones.:D
 
I went with the ML3/2MOA dot. Like gadget says, if you want a bigger dot, turn it up a notch. Nice, uncluttered view. Can't argue with it's durability - hard to argue with 1/2 million in service and 50,000 hr battery life/no timeout.

Just got an aimpoint and was wondering if where you mount it is personal preference or does the scope work best in a specific spot....Bob

Bob, I think it is personal preference but for tac rifle and competition shooting I mount it as foreward on the flattop as possible, I find it quicker that way...it's where Jack O'Niel would mount it had he used an M4.:cool:
 
Are the Aimpoint ML3's on the ITAR list? Can we buy them in the US and bring them back or do we have to get import/export permits?
 
If you check out our retail price guide on our website we have Aimpoint listed now under misc optics. The most expensive option is $599. We should have a shipment here in about 30 days.
