I like them both. I have been playing with a Leupold lately and like it a lot!

I like them both but prefer lighter weight...
BTW that is a great price if NIB...or even in excellent condition....

imo

If you're looking into the Accupoint, the Sample list over at SWFA had 2 of them for $399 a while back...both counter top demos....looked brand new. I know one got sold, but the other one might still be available. Were it not for my budget woes these days, it would have been mine the second I spotted it.

The Accupoint is a great scope, but to do it justice, you'll need the Larue EER mount, and that's another $215.

I think I saw some accupoints on Samplelist yesterday.

Mike (or anyone else) What's the eye relief like on the Leupold? Can it be used like an aimpoint when dialed all the way down?

You might want to check out the Bushmaster offerings. They have a forward mount rail for around $40. Admittedly, it's overall inferior to the LaRue in terms of how it mounts and dismounts, but if you just want to throw it on a rail and leave it there, it will do the job.

I think the eye relief on the Leupold is 4.5. The eye relief on the Accupoint is 4.8. The Accupoint (coupled with the LaRue Tactical SPR-EER scope) is the best way to go IMHO.

Thanks Grant, that's what I'm thinking of doing. Some of us don't get to deduct the cost of US Optics scopes on our taxes

.

I'm curious about the somewhat (apparently) similar Meopta scopes but just haven't heard enough about them.

Thanks guys I went with a Leupold 1.5-5 power illuminated Circile dot for 489.00 on Gunbroker. I am looking into the larue mount now thanks again for the help. You guys are great. Now I will see how well my idea works. Hopefully the mounts retain 0 after dismount and mounting.

I can't find the EE version listed on Larue's site. The other link provided has them but not with 1 inch rings. Anywhere else to look. Larue's site did have a standard mount for the Colt will this work or do I need the extended eye relief mount. Thanks again.

Isn't Trijicon running a promotion where you get a $50 rebate if you purchase an accupoint scope from a dealer?

That would make it an even better deal.
