rgroves Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'd like to rail mount a red dot sight on my M4. Anybody have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmshoot Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Best red dot set up I have ever used on a flattop M4 is the Eotech. It will co-witness with your BUIS's and is a dang good, reliable piece of gear. I mounted mine with a GG&G throw-lever that replaced the standard thumbscrew mounting arrangement. I could take the sight off if I wanted to, and it always returned to zero for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgroves Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks. Looks like Eotech has a number of models. Do you recall which one you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 are we talking about the benelli m4 or the carbine? for the scatergun I like the j-point or doctor optics (now imported by trijicon) kind of expensive but light as heck and bomb proof. For a carbine...i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgroves Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Sorry, I wasn't precise enough. This is a Benelli M4 Tactical 12 ga, not the M4 carbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmshoot Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 My bad. I was talking about an M4 Carbine. On my M2 Tactical, I use a J Point clone. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/cmshoot/100_0174.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cajunkraut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well, for the Benelli M4, check out Aimpoint's new Micro T-1... http://www.aimpoint.com/law_enforcement/products/aimpoint_t-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro_Kid Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I use a cheap TrueGlow on my m1 for 3-gun. While its not as bright or sharp or indestructible as my Aimpoint, the price is right at $50.00. It works great even in bright desert sun. And with my usual cylinder choke, the pattern is much bigger than the dot. I set it so the dot roughly is centered in my pattern at about 15 yds. No need for high precision - ITS A SHOTGUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnywitt Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 f you get the Doctor, get the 7 MOA dot. Not the 3 MOA dot. This has ben learned by the subgun crowd for quick aquisition and good practical accuracy out to 100 yards, give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know that 4 follows 3, but it is confusing. They could have called it "the joint service combat shotgun" or anything but an M4. Oh well, at least we have a good shotgun, as opposed to the carbine which is a mediocre weapon at best. Go ahead and flame away, its the truth.
