Anyone have hands on experience with the CompC3? It looks to be the same as the M-class Aimpoints with less waterproof rating and of course no NV capabilities.
I am so far just a target shooter and am guessing this will be a solid optic for the money to mount on my RRA. Could a guy buy the rubber cover and lens caps like those that are on the CompM3 and put them on the C3 for a little more protection? |

There really isn't that much difference in price betweens the C3 and ML3. I would purchase the latter with a 2MOA Dot.  By the time you purchase all the acessories for the C3 you could own an ML-3. That is true. Smartgunner has the C3 for $349 and the cover for $24. I didn't see the flip covers. They also have the ML3 with both for $396. But if the OP decides he doesn't need that stuff he can get the C3 from SWFA with a QRP mount for $388. Both sights are available in 2 or 4 moa. |

Kind of what I was thinking - the SWFA package has the mount included for 388 which isn't a bad deal at all. I really don't need the outer rubber cover or flip covers, but wanted to make sure I could add them in the future. The outer rubber cover might be a nice addition to protect from scratches, etc, but not a deal breaker.
My rifle a RRA and has the 'detachable carry handle' which has the built in rear iron and according to RRA guy I spoke to, is designed to be the right height to co-witness an Aimpoint. I really don't need NV compatibility or 150ft waterproof rating. So the CompC3 package deal at SWFA was fairly attractive. I don't know about the quality of the mount that comes with it, but for my current use I think it'll work just fine. Thanks for the input guys. |
