Any suggestions for QD mounts for the T2 and the SRO?

I like the idea of a QD mount for the optic. This way it’s simply a red dot to deal with and not a red dot AND the irons. Looks like I have more to consider. Thanks

But if your optic lens hypothetically breaks, you'd lose both sights regardless of whether its co witnessed or not. Right? So when you say "redundancy", it sounds like you're just saying that its more of a "piece of mind" thing that your POA is true to your POI? It just seems to me that if you're after a red dot sight it would be so that you don't need to line up the irons thus becoming quicker for it. I feel like I'm missing something. There must be another practical reason for co witnessed sights other than re assurance that your POA and POI are aligned. The only other reason that I can think of, is that you'd only need to learn 1 muscle memory for both a co witnessed set up and for straight iron sights. Everyone please chime in with your experience, insight and infinite wisdom.

Can anyone tell me what the benefit / drawback is to a co witness set up? I’m not sure I really see the point. If you’re lining up your irons so your red dot is superimposed over your front sight, what’s the point of the red dot in this scenario? Might as well just use your iron sights……right?

Thanks Rasyad. so I’m assuming with that setup you’re not running with a co witnesses set up?

Is that just your personal opinion? Just what you like better? Or are there reasons why you would choose the SRO over the T2? Are there negatives in your experience that you’ve encountered or read about using the T2 on the M4?

Bullseye North in London Ontario. 15% off plus it was the last one which was open box. Got more off for that too. It was a model that came with no base mount which was perfect for me as I didn’t want it anyway. I’m going with the scalerworks mount. And yes, that’s in USD. Being that this is an American forum, I converted what I spent in Canadian to USD.

Went with the T2. Got it on sale today for $625. Couldn’t pass that up.

Looking at the Aimpoint T2. I guess my only real concern is the weight difference and my peripheral view. Do you or does anyone notice a huge difference when looking through the smaller SRO versus the bigger and bulkier T2? Or is this a moot point?

Thanks for the info. I didn’t actually realize there were different height scalerworks mounts available. I thought the Synch/02 was just the Synch/02. Much appreciated

Wow no takers? Ok. It’s all good. Thinking about the T2 now over the Comp M5s. So it’s between the SRO and the T2. Likely to go with the T2.

Thanks for all the great info on this forum. I’ve been lurking about here for ages gathering info for my BM4 which I finally picked up. I’ve been on a mission to start gathering some of the parts I’d like to mod it with and I’m really having a rough time making a decision over these two optics. If there are any of you out there with real world experience on either of these optics coupled with your BM4, I’d really appreciate any feedback, comments or suggestions. Thanks in advance

Also considering the Briley CF mag tube and will try it without any locktite. What are your thoughts on using some anti seize on the threads to ensure it doesn’t seize up?
