Primary Arms Micro Dot

[gmar]

Who here has one and what do you think about it? I'm thinking about getting on with the optional QD riser to mount on my M&P 15-22. Does anyone know if the QD mount will retain its zero if remove and reinstall the optic? Does the glass have the same blue tint the M3 has?

Thanks!

Glass on my micro (its an older Gen 3) is clear, but has a different tint than the Aimpoint micro. The QD Riser takes some adjusting to get it right, but when its right, it will retain probably a 1 MOA zero, but its not designed for return-to-zero (I've only taken my son's off twice and the adjustment afterward was minimal).

I still highly recommend them for a 5.56/.223 AR and they would definitely work well for a .22.

I run one on my 10/22 and if I hadn't run into a good deal on an Eotech I'd be running one on my AR-22. Quality product at a fair price from one of the best companies in the industry, you can't go wrong. I prefer the high mount but to each their own.

My M&P 15-22 is the only rifle I run iron sights on and I like practicing with them but I also would like a red dot on it for fun. So I was hoping it would return to zero when taken off and put back on. However, since ammo is so cheap, I guess it wouldn't be too bad to waste some ammo to sight it back in everytime I take it off and put it back on. I had a PA M3 that I gave to my brother when I gave him my old AR but I like the smaller Micro on a .22. How does the Micro compare to the M3...which one do you prefer?

I have 3. One on a Buckmark pistol, one on a dedicated .22 AR upper and one in a Daniel Defense 1 o'clock mount on an 18" 5.56 AR. I like all three in these applications. I haven't used their QD mount, so I cannot speak to that.

Would that micro stand up to a full power 44 Mag?

I have read they will stand up to 12 GA use. I don't know if you'd consider .44 Mag more violent than the recoil of a 12 GA.

I have one mounted on a Ruger MKIII 22/45 it has clear glass and the dot shines bright. That's the second red dot I've purchased from Primary Arms and it won't be the last. They make great products for sure.

I ran one side by side with my Aimpoint T1, and I have to say I was very impressed. They are a very good optic. I plan on purchasing one for my mp-15 22 as well.
