Anyone have Aimpoint optics on their AR rifles?

I have been thinking of getting an Aimpoint PRO or a used compM2 for my AR. Seeking reviews.

I've got an aim point pro that pulls double duty on my AR and my turkey shotgun. I love it.

Aimpoint makes good stuff. I just sold a brand new PRO model just a few weeks ago for my brother for just over $300, which I thought was a pretty decent deal.

I use a Micro version on my hunting handgun and another on an AR - they're the bomb IMO.

Always hated them in the Army but there are plenty of users that love them and hate Eotechs so if you like their set up then Id go with it.

The only dealings I have had was on their lower end stuff, it is worse than junk. The only good thing I could say about was luckily I didn't buy it, it was always someone else.

I have heard aim point has the best battery life of the red dot sights.
Mine has been left on going on 3 years now. I leave it on a low setting I can see in low light sow if I was to need it in the middle of the night it's ready.

Yea, many models offer 50,000 hrs of battery life ....... that works out to 24/7 use for 5.5 years. With normal use (like leaving it on all day when hunting/shooting) changing batteries will very seldom be necessary.

Run 3 T-1s in Larue lower 1/3 mounts. I never turn any of these units off. The T-1 is the best unit aimpoint has ever created. Watch the larry vickers video from a few years back, he literally blew up the rifle with a T-1 on it. It maintained zero and function even after the explosion. Eotechs are not in the same class of optics.

Ive had the exact opposite experience with aimpoints and eotechs. Ive had multiple CCOs not hold zero and/or have unreliable adjustments, Eotechs have always been rock solid and surpass the Aimpoints by far.

Ive never personally seen an Aimpoint fail in anyway. I've talked with several CAG guys. Said eotechs were crap ( battery and button issues) so they were all running Aimpoints. I trust their opinion. They run the best of the best.

Relative of Friend just retired from there and I ask which he would buy now that he would have to pay for it himself.
