    Because of your original post I was influenced in a recent purchase. Having just completed a light barrel 16" middy upper I was looking for a red dot and popped for the Aimpoint PRO yesterday. Prior to this I've been an Eotech owner, I have two 512 models. The reasons I went Aimpoint PRO were; cost, Night Vision capability, battery life and at the same price as the entry level 512 Eotech. 512's are not NV capable. The PRO's mount system is the last reason, you have to love that thumb screw mount with over tighten protection. Unfortunately it will be at least 2 weeks before I can get out and sight it in. So it seemed a no-brainer, Eotech 512 for $400 or an Aimpoint PRO for $400 with NV capability for the same price as the 512.

    BTW, did you get to shoot your rifle over the Holiday weekend?

    No, unfortunately I didn't get to shoot this weekend.

    I hope you like your new Aimpoint. A few people I know have been asking me about mine. I need to shoot with it so I can give them a real review.

    The PRO was on sale on Palmetto arms website this weekend for $350 plus shipping. I totally forgot you were looking for one or would have given you the heads up. Sorry dude.

    Damn. So much for my thinking I got such a good deal when I got mine from AIM for an even $400 with free shipping.

    Yep, wish you had given me a H.O. on that, would of saved me $50 bucks at the very least. (:

    My next item to acquire is NV. I think I've narrowed it down to the SPARK http://www.opticsplanet.com/armasigh...monocular.html from Armasight at optics planet. It is the equivalent of Gen 2+. Which maybe is a topic for another thread.
