Help with optic choice.

[Pagan]

If this should be in the Gear and Accessories section, I apologize, mods please feel free to move it.

I have a few different optics currently, but it's getting old moving them back and forth between aegs, so I'm looking to get one maybe two more so I won't have to do as much shuffling.



The aimpoint will be staying on one of the two M4's, and most likely, the quick sight will stay on the mp5. (It just looks right on there.)

I'm torn on using the 552 on the Aug, G36c and one of the M4's. It looks right and works well with all three.

So my question for all of you, what optic would you add to the mix, and what aeg would you put what optic on?

In the running for next optic:(All replicas of course)

Aimpoint CompM4
Aimpoint T1
Another M2 Aimpoint
Another 552/or 551
Or perhaps one of these for the Mp5 or G36:

Thanks for the advise.

I know you said you wanted to leave it there, but if I was in your shoes, the first thing I'd do is replace the sight on the MP5. The only sight that real military would use that looks like that is the C-more, and nobody uses them anymore. In the professional military of Western nations, it's an Aimpoint world, and everyone else just tries to break into the market. (I'm speaking of unmagnified optics only - there's still a lot of competition in the scope market.)

The T1 is increasingly popular among people who can call their own shots, but I think the issue model Aimpoint is still M-based. I'm not sure which generations different nations issue. I'm not sure how much it matters when you're buying a replica anyway; it's probably going to be the same guts in a different tube.

Thanks Zorak.

I was thinking of leaving it there, since it works well and looked decent. As I mess around with different optics I'm liking the m2 aimpoint on the mp5 and the comp4 for the m4s.

Personally, after seeing your AUG today with the EOTech on it, I'd leave it right where it is. I agree with Zorak though, an Aimpoint on your MP5 would look really good. Personally, I like iron sights on an MP5, but it's your gun of course.

[Pagan]

Thanks Mike, I got quite a few compliments on the Aug last night.

It looks like I'm on the search for another m2 and a comp4.

[Kilo Oscar Tango]

The only optics that are universal between all those weapons is the Comp2 and Eotech 552, which you have already.

I would suggest this on any of those minus the MP5: www.ebairsoft.com/tactical-scope-p-1535.html
Or an ACOG for the M4s.

[Fugazi]

Yeah, a Trijicon replica compliments any AR variant nicely. I had one on my old M4 for a short while (before I sold it) and it looks excellent with flip-up sights.

[Gunny87]

The only MP5 I had was a stock TM MP5 SD5 real briefly which I only used for CQB, and yeah with the stock range it got having any kind of red dot sight on it was pretty useless. The stock iron sights IMO seem to work the best, and the MP5/G3 sight with the claw mount seems to be a P.O.S from what I've heard.

And as already mentioned the 552, will work on just about anything and will look good on your Aug, G36C, and MP5. I'd get another one personally.

[Pagan]

Thanks for all the input.

I ended moving the m2 aimpoint to the mp5, and bought another 552 and m2 aimpoint. The aug and g36 will share a 552 and the m4s will get a 552 and magnifier and an aimpoint m2 with a 2x lens.
