    red dot sight options for my M4

    in Benelli

    Posted

    I am trying to decide which red dot sight to get for my M4...I had the opportunity to look at and / or try a number of options this weekend including the C-More, Trijicon Reflex, Aimpoint, EOTech, ACOG ( smile.gif ), and tasco...here are some thoughts and pics...

     

    Trijicon Reflex

     

    I am happy to report that the Trijicon reflex is not as bad as I thought in terms of washout...they actually let me take the sight out into the parking lot where I was able to test it in varying light conditions from shade to almost direct sunlight and i was able to see the dot at all times. (and that was WITHOUT the Cyalume capsules). I also mounted the sight to a Benelli M4 (they had one in stock..along with some M1s...sigh) and it pointed quite well even though it was the model designed for flattop mount. The chevron is cool and does not obscure the target.

     

    That having been said, there were some things that i did not like:

    1) I was under the impression that the Cyalume sticks last for a long time...the fact that the scope comes with like 12 of them was a big tipoff that this is not the case...I also wonder how long they will be available (but again, my tests were done without them

    2) The sight picture seemed purple

    3) The front end seemed mirror like...may as well put a neon sign on my head

     

    The EOTech...needs no introduction...I have mixed feelings about them...sometimes I find the circle-dot to be too big and obscure the target

    Aimpoint...the dot was too small and seemed to bounce around too much for me

    and finally, the ACOG...ok, i realize that this is not designed for a shotgun but man that scope is bad@ss!

    Don't take this the wrong way...but i am in love with your gun!

     

    I have an M4 but the M1 tacticals are prohibited here in Canada...anyway, I was stateside this weekend and I had the pleasure of handling the M1 practical and tactical...it made me cry :( if it was not for our stupid gun laws I would have walked out of the store with the practical...one of the coolest shotguns I have ever seen
