With my newfound inability to use iron sights, I'm trying to top as many guns of mine with optics as possible. Two I'm having trouble deciding on are my HK MP5 (SP5) and my AUG A3 M1. The Steyr already has the factory 3x optic on it, and I'm wanting to piggy-back a small red dot on top of it.
So far I'm leaning towards the Aimpoint T2, just because I have experience with them, but I really don't know about Holosun or other options. The Holosun 403/503/515/530 appear to have the same mounting footprint, but I'm not sure. For the Steyr, I would need as low a picatinny mount as possible, for the HK a lower 3rd mount might be preferable.
Steyr needs:
1. *Low* Picatinny mount
2. Small & lightweight
3. Reliable
4. Useable as backup and close range/low-light
HK needs:
1. Mounting to Midwest Industries MLOK top rail (unless other recommendations given)
2. Small & Lightweight
3. Reliable
4. Useable as main optic at all practical distances
Other possibilities (mounting solutions pending)
1. Aimpoint ACRO
2. Holosun AEMS
3. Holosun 509
So, any recommendations for optics and mounting solutions are welcome. Thanks in advance,
Jason
