Aimpoints - Comp vs Comp ML - which one?

bk40 · February 12, 1999, 08:11 AM

I own a Aimpoint Comp XD dot sight and I use it on my Ruger MKII pistol. Now I want to put another Aimpoint on my Bushmaster AR rifle. The intended purpose of this rifle is informal target shooting and varmint hunting at ranges less than 200yds.
1. Which model Aimpoint would you buy & why?
2. What size dot do you prefer & why?

Thanks!

I have the 5000 on my AR, because the Comps weren't out yet when I bought it. I'm happy with it. Had a minor problem with the switch. Shipped it to Aimpoint, they fixed it & shipped it back real quick. Were I to buy another, I'd probably get the Comp LE, as I don't need the IR capability. I have the 3 min dot on mine.

Check 6,
