I have the Aimpoint CompM3 2 MOA here. (As for red dots - I also have the EOTech 551 and 552 rev F) It was only a few more dollars to get this sight with the NV capability. But I also have some NV stuff so I figured that I might as well pay a few dollars more. Any of these models are good - CompML2, CompM2, CompML3 or the CompM3. Also keep in mind if you want the 2 MOA or 4 MOA with those sights. These Aimpoint sights, and the EOTechs are not only good, but combat proven. So many soldiers, Marines and others have taken out the enemy with these sights, that I bet it is in the tens of thousands dead, that went down and out to these red dots. |
| Total noob question....what the heck is the difference between 2MOA and 4MOA? I don't know what that stands for.....h.gif |
Example1: On my EOTech red dot Holographic sights, the center aiming ring is 65 MOA with the dot in the middle (the dot that you want to hit the target) 1 MOA. The Aimpoint CompM3 or others only show one dot to aim at the target. So the 2 MOA dot would most likely appear smaller in view to the eye as a 4 MOA dot would. M.O.A. = Minutes Of Angle Example 2: Adjust your sights the proper number of clicks. Sights are described in "m.o.a." minutes-of-angle. That is, a rear sight that is rated 1 m.o.a. will cause bullet impact to move 1" at 100 yards for every click of the sight. If you are shooting 3 inches to left at 100 yards, move your rear sight 3 clicks right. If shooting at half that distance (50 yards), a 1 m.o.a. click will move it half an inch, and at 200 meters that 1 m.o.a. click will move impact 2 inches. Minutes of angle differ from gun to gun. Standard military rifles are rated at 1 m.o.a. while target rifles may be rated at .5 or .25 m.o.a. Hope this helps any for you. |
