I am building an M-4gery primary use is a fun gun/ house gun, added requirement is light weight. I have several heavies and I want nice quick light rifle. The only added weight on the rifle will be an optic, I have narrowed the choices down to a Trijicon Reflex/ ReflexII, and an Aimpoint Comp M2 or ML2, (Btw whats the difference between the M2 and ML2).
A buddy has a shorty with a reflex on it and I like the sight, I don't notice the dot washing out in poor lighting as has been described here, it seems to be pretty light and very durable, the FOV is a bit limited, especially when compared to the 40mm BSA cheapo I currently have on my rifle.
The Comp M2 seems like a nice sight, but it looks to be more expensive than the reflex. I like the always on feature of the M2, as well as the flip up covers. According to Aimpoint the M2 ought to be very durable.
Additionally I do not like a very bright dot in my sight. I find it distracting, my BSA is far too bright on the highest setting except in very bright daylight.
Questions are as follows, which is more durable, and who has the best prices on these sights? Any other input would also be appreciated.
Regards
