Meprolight 21 or Aimpoint T1?
« on: March 14, 2013, 11:30:30 AM »
Anyone have both to compare and contrast? Thinking about getting the Mepro for my PWS AR. Or would the Aimpoint be a better choice?

For what gun? 

I have an Aimpoint T-1 and Comp M4s and an EoTech 512.  Of those three, I prefer the Aimpoints and between those two, the T-1.  It's light, compact, durable and battery life is one of the longest available for a red dot. 

I haven't really seen too much about the Meprolight.

The Mepro is battery free. It has dual illumination via fiber optics and tritium. Not having to buy batteries is very appealing to me, but if someone that has owned one wants to point out its flaws, I'd like to hear them.

I am very interested in this as well.
Been researching the Mepro, and it is very conflicting.
Found a pretty good deal on an Aimpoint PRO, so I went with that (under $400/free shipping).
Need two setups, so I will be watching.

If you don't mind asking, where did you buy the H-1 from?  Been looking to get the 2moa one myself.

Don't mind at all, bruddah ImKu...

Picked mine up (2 MOA version) in a package deal w/ QD LT 751 from Larue... shipping was pretty fast, and as some of you guys already know, inside the package were a bunch of stickers, the tactical bottle opener, and Larue dry rub (no tactical bacon, though).

@ IHC - As you're interested in the Meprolight 21, have you also considered the Trijicon SRS?

I ended up purchasing the H-1 2MOA from Larue.  So far the quality of the mount looks good.  With that said, I have mounted it and removed it and found that the Larue mount LT660 ate up the rail.  I don't really care because it will stay in that spot .  I know some may be upset though.  I will care if it doesn't hold zero.
