Aimpoint Micro

[ssc]

Just got done setting up my go to ar 15 with an aimpoint micro T-1. It is a copy of others I have and as usual the aimpoint set up is perfect. It only took 20 rounds to get it zeroed and then some for fun. I use the La Rue mount. It is so light weight and small. I store it with the dot off and no lens cover. It co-witnesses in the bottom 3rd of the scope with the BUIS, so it can be used without the dot if need be or if there is not time to turn it on--though it only takes a second to activate it. If I am in the garage or have it out as a precaution, the dot is on. The battery life is 50,000 hours. So far, I have not changed a battery in any of my aimpoints yet.

Since it is near and dear to me, if working in the garage with the door open, be careful and prepared. You never know what kind of slime may crawl in.

Good choice of optic. I am currently running an Eotech 552 on my work rifle. I don't like having to turn on/off the sight every time I pull it out or put it away.

I'm saving my pennies for a Micro.

Got to love that ride with the little pop gun up top.

That little pop gun was a lot of fun to shoot. For those unfamiliar with it, it is the Mk-19 Automatic Grenade Launcher. It fires 40mm grenades.

And that was my vehicle in 29 Palms. We called that variant of the Hummer the "Hardback" due to it being armored. The armor weighed down the vehicle significantly making it very slow during our impromptu drag races across dry lakes.

We crewed with four Marines. All of our snivel gear (Sleeping bags, packs) are strapped outside. We also had to carry a lot of camo netting and poles.

The interior is full of all our fighting gear. Ammo, tripod, MRE's, water, and fuel. The diesel cans would always leak while offroad, so we carried our sleeping gear and clothes outside to keep them from getting soaked with diesel.
