The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Question for Pat Rogers regarding the M73 article and mounting an Aimpoint

Mr. Rogers...well, you were right.
I ordered the LaRue Cantilever (actually, before I initially posted) because:

1. just about everyone said that was the way to go, versus the M68.
2. spare battery compartment.
3. I could always bring it back on the rail if I wanted.

I got out of the military in the mid '90s and all we used were irons, so I had no formal experience with Aimpoints.
After screwing around with it for a couple of weeks, my M3 is sitting exactly where it would be if I had the standard M68! Target acquisition speed is faster, FOR ME, when mounted there.
Thanks again for solid advice.
