    I have a Comp M which I bought in 1998 - so 20 years ago. It’s still going strong. The primary difference between the Comp M and the M2 is the M2 can go a couple clicks brighter for bright conditions like bright sunlight plus snow or light colored desert.
    Mine has ACOG embossed in the aluminum?

    That’s weird. Its a reflex sight. It was the SOPMOD reflex sight before the first Comp M / M68.

    That's interesting! You sure it doesn't say "TA01NSN"?

    Got a picture of it?

    ***Disregard*** I went back and found the picture you posted. Maybe they used the same base?

    Best meme I've seen in a while.

    I get that they aren't Aimpoints. But I've seen so many in circulation (due to the price) and haven't personally seen any failures on the more recent gens(last few years) from some pretty high volume shooters. None of these people are dropping them on concrete or throwing them off 2nd story balconies, but for "normal" hobby use they are brilliant and seem to get you 95% of the Aimpoint for less than half the price. Plus the ACSS reticle is pretty awesome.

    How about "anything but a POS Eotech"

    While I overseas I personally saw so many Eotechs fail I will only recommend them to the enemy.

    I run a Aimpoint PRO on my 10.5" gun that I use for work. It is primarily used around vehicles, and such rarely anything static in nature so it makes sense for the role.






    Additionally, have an older TAO1 with the original crosshair reticle (still like it best, especially for hitting at extended ranges) on my lightweight all around 16" Colt carbine. These did not come with mounts, so I had one custom built to mount an RDO. It is a very practical setup.





    Overseas I ran an illuminated Leupold 1.5-5 with covered turrets and considered it to be about ideal during that time.




    These days if I was in the market for an all around optic for a RECCE type rifle, I would buy a low powered variable in the 2.5-10 range (MIL/MIL reticle and turrets) and add an RDO on top. More likely than not a Nightforce 2.5-10.

    Buy once, cry once. Be done.

    If I am only permitted one optic to do everything it will be a LPV. Specifically the Z6i 1-6.

    Without a quality LPV, give me an Aimpoint.
