It's already being discussed in other current threads.  Do some reading and you'll find what you need.

M3 will come out at the ShotShow later this month. Only change is longer battery life.

Submergence levels , battery life, new button for turning it on and you will be able to get it in either 2MOA or 4MOA. They should both be out after the SS.

Hmm.....so the M3 and 3x magnifier will be introduce at the SHOT Show.  I'll have to create a distraction.

any idea on price of the magnifier?

C4, any indication on a price range for the Aimpoint M3/ML3?
1/12/2005 5:23:27 AM EDT
[#10]
No indication of price. Aimpoint raised the price of the ML2 and M2 by 4% for 2005. So I imagine that the ML3 and M3 will be atleast $30-$50 more than the older models...

how long do you think it will be until we can get our hands on these? more specifically the magnifier--i just got an M2.

You mean they INCREASED the battery life again!!!!!! They using uranium Batteries??? I've had mine for over a year and it's still on the original battery...  what is the expected new battery life??? or is that being saved for SHOT???

I have no idea what the actual numbers are... but I thought that I saw that  aimpoint is making for the swedish military (might be wrong on that, its one of the countries in that area) a sight that uses a dl123 battery and has something like a 10 year life. Someone that was issued one posted the information on lightfigher.com

Aimpoint should release these after the SS. I pre-ordered some a long, long time ago so hopefully I will be first in line to get the Magnifier and the ML3/M3 with the 2MOA dot!

I got you beat.  I just passed two years with the OEM battery.  It's an M2 that is always left at the 7 setting.  It also is periodically transported for long periods of time in cold Wisconsin winters.

It's still going strong.

We needs some hints on price.  Will the 3X magnifier cost more, less or about the same as the Aimpoint M2/3 itself?

I'm hoping it's the same price or less, afterall, it's just glass with no electronics or even a reticle.

This unit is going to be great. What else is out there to compete against it?

Eotech? Great I guess, but what about battery life?

Tripoint? Not yet...

M3 and Magnifier...looks like the system to beat!

*****

One question though: will the magnifier come complete with the tip-off QD base?

2 MOA?   There goes my zeroed-out credit card again.

Gonna need that 2 MOA dot if the Magnifier does indeed make the dot bigger...
