I'm planning on getting an Aimpoint comp M2 for my flattop. I want it, if at all possible, for the Aimpoint to be co-registered with the BUIS, which is a GG&G MAD flip-up. I've been happy with GG&G products in the past and absent some compelling feature on some other brand I'll probably stick with that. Any suggestions on which GG&G mount to get, or an argument for another mount? |
| I have never used the GG&G so I can't specifically argue against it. What I can argue for though is the La Rue QD mount. This is one serious piece of gear. Built like a tank, reliable return to zero, adjustability for rail standard idiosynchrosies and just a damn fine looking piece of hardware. |

I used the GG&G standard mout for a good while. It'not bad at all. It has two MAJOR problems though. #1 It needs a rail underneath it to allow for proper co-witness. #2 It is excessivley costly. You would have to get one of their FIRE rails to mount on your flattop, then put your Aimpoint mount on it. So you have just spent $240, plus a little for S&H. OR You could spend $115 for a LaRue standard Aimpoint mount. It is well-built, light-weight, and cost-effective. It gives you an adjustable throw-lever with no shift in POI if removed and re-mounted. It's your money, but there are better options out there than the GG&G mount for running an AImpoint on your flattop. |
