I have both a T2 and a 1x pa prism.
I prefer the t2 under nods but the pa prism looks fine under them and the optic itself feels fairly robust. I just wish it had some flip covers like the t2. I'm just a normal dude so I'm not banging my stuff around too much outside of laying in the desert and chucking my rifle in the bed of a truck or trunk of a car. Hopefully I get some classes in this year and get to see how durable the prism really is. |

Aron Cowan @Sage Dynamics liked both the UH-1 and the AEMS for general shooting and NV, and they passed his shoulder height drop tests on concrete. I am trying to see if he did a review of the PA 1x. |

The Sig/PA Micro, Holosun/Vortex Micro RDS with NV settings all work decently. They'll be a little darker then an AP, but will all be serviceable. I mainly use the AP Comp series RDS and never have a problem with them although they're bigger then most micro RDS, but are built to take a lot of abuse.

Can you afford an Aimpoint Pro?

honestly if it were me I would sit tight and wait for your T2.
the money you spend on an optic you know you are going to ditch in a few months will pay for a Unity mount for the T2 and probably have change left over. I admit that it sucks a T2 and mount are so expensive but thats just the way it is sometimes. I did get my T2 on sale a few months ago which basically never happens on aimpoint stuff, I was just lucky. |

The NV settings are whacked out on it for some reason. There are 2 settings and neither of them are bright enough to use. You end up having to use the lowest daylight settings which is to bright for nods. the others you mention may be fine but my experience with the vortex left a lot to be desired. then again its a $150 RDS |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Can you afford an Aimpoint Pro? I have the AP PRO. In my opinion it's just OK under NV and have heard the T2 and Eotech are much better. I was hoping one of the other "smaller and lighter" budget optics would work at least as good as the PRO but hopefully better. Thoughts? |

You've seen the PA 1x Micro pic, so you know that is really good. The Tactical Accountant(s) YT Channel shows the UH1 Gen II to not be that great at IR light transmission, and I think a couple of guys in here corroborated it.
TA - EOT vs UH1G2 |

TA - EOT vs UH1G2 I can attest to the lack of light transmission on the UH1 Gen II. Its usable but notably darker than all of my other optics, Holosuns included. |

The PA 1x prism light transmission is actually quite good. Under NODs I'd put it between an aimpoint and holosun.
That's one of the reasons I just recently dumped my EXPS 3-0 for another micro prism. |

They run good sales from time to time along with the EE |

I am saving for the T2, but in the meantime bought a PA 1x to try. I need to start practicing now with passive aiming. If I don't like it for NV I'll throw it on another rifle. |

UH1 Gen 2 vs my Eotech exps3-0 is a huge difference. The light transmission throught the exps3-0 is so much better its really no questions when they are side by side. Is the UH1 Gen 2 serviceable? Yes, absolutely, but for the cost of those id rather cough up an extra $50-$100 and get the eotech if a holographic is what you are after.

I watched several videos on the UH1 Gen 2. Most did not find it great under NV, although a couple did. The PA 1X Microprism has been great in the daylight, but I have not tried it under NV yet. Some folks have claimed it works well. I would buy the EXPS 3-0 in a heartbeat, but I leave my optic on continuously so a 600 hour battery life is a show stopper for me. |

Maybe a holosun 407 or Sig Romeo 5. I prefer the compm5, best passive sight I’ve used, well worth the money.

Sig Romeo 5 is barely usable from my experience on my 10-22 not a lot of light gets through it. If I had dual tubes it might be better to use but with a PVS-14 its not that good. I thought though I saw a post about one of the holosun Red dots (T2 clones) that worked basically as good as a T2 and no I'm not talking about the AEMS. It might of been a higher end Sig red dot idk. |

I've tried all of these mentioned herein and just keep coming back to the EXPS3. I really liked the look and feel of the Gen Huey but it felt like a boat anchor! Its only .2oz heavier but just made the front end feel way too heavy. Agreed on light trans and to me a crisper reticle under NODs. They just raised their prices recently but you can always find one in the EE. Side note: I'm sure everyone has seen this by now which doesn't mean much. |
