A friend ordered an Aimpoint Comp ML2 for me and mistakenly specified the Night Vision model. I don't have NVG now nor do I ever expect to. Aside from the extra $40, most of which will be eaten up in return shipping, is there any reason I shouldn't just live with it? |
| I ordered a ML2 from a dealer and they're still en route from Sweden (and have been for a LONG time). So, I'm getting a M2 instead he's eating the difference. You lose a few day settings, but I don't think it will be a problem at all. Plus, you get the military-issue cool factor [:D] Keep the M2 and enjoy! |

Yes, M2 is for night vision, ML2 is not. The M2's first 4 settings are for night, and believe it or not I have caught a glimpse of setting 1 while aiming the sight directly into a pillow at point blank range. For sake of arguing, seetings 1 and 2 are virtually invisible to your naked eye, but 3-10 are quite visible. |

The battery on the M2 will last for 10 years on the lowest setting, making an off setting a purely academic issue. The remaining 6 settings are all you'll ever practically need (what would you really need w/ 10 brightness settings anyway?). I live in WA state, where the whether is all over the place, & 6 day settings covers it. I've only used settings 5-7. Plus, the option is always there for NVD's, should you ever get the craving. I have the M2, but I don't have no stinkin' regrets. [:)] |

Quoted: I have a new aimpoint m2 works great at brightest settings (8 thru 10) with new batteries. ( 1 thru 4 ) for nv. 5,6 & 7 very dim, 5 & 6 even in total darkness. Anyone know if this is common for 5,6 & 7 Read my above post... I never go past 7 due to it being WAY too bright above that setting. I think you should check your batteries...they may be new to you, but that doesn't mean they are new. |
