Looking to buy my first AR15

[93 FOX]

The LT660 is complete co-witness

I may take a look at a few Aimpoints. I have used the Eotech before. Looks like it's not much more for the T1 over the H1. Are you guys talking about the LT660 when you say Larue mount? That looks pretty tall!

I thought the same thing, it looks very tall, but once mounted it's perfect and I'm extremely happy with it.

The LT-660 is a lower 1/3 co witness with standard irons. I preferred the absolute co witness of the LT-751 or the ADM HK mount for my H1.
This is totally a personal preference thing. I have a slight astigmatism in my shooting eye and being able to view the dot through the small aperture helps to greatly sharpen the dot for longer range shooting.

Having said that, i have since replaced that red dot with an M4 and dont foresee going back to the H1. The m4 with the QRP mount is an absolute co witness as well.

I used the larue lt751 for absolute co-witness on my colt.

That's the way i looked at it to. Let's say you got $1800.00 in your h1 and ar and you go with the t1 you have $1880.00 in you ar and its ready for night vision.When i got into the ar thing i thought i would never used night vision now i am looking into buying night vision product.

Now why didn't I think of that? I may be getting fixed rear sights now. My wallet hates you UMB! lol

If you need an NV setting on an optic, you're using your NV wrong. (Assuming you're referring to a PVS-14 style)

You can use pretty much any rear sight with a small aperture. I have a Knights 200-600 on that rifle right now and its the tits.

I have not use any NV optic as of now but the gen 3 is what i am learning about right now.

Gen 3 is definitely what you want to go with. I love mine.

I've been using my PVS-14 on a twist mount behind my compm4 using the nv setting. Now, if the nv is on my helmet, I have it on my non-dominant eye and the red dot on my dominant eye on the non-nv setting. My brain puts the 2 images together. However, an IR laser is definitely the way to go.

I don't mind the passive setup with it mounted on my AR when I get setup in a good hog/coyote spot. That thing starts to get heavy on your head after awhile. Just bought some counter weights to help balance it.
