Rifle Scopes Aimpoint mount question

[burneyr]

Hey guys, quick Aimpoint mount question.

Ordered a new Comp M2 from a site sponsor that includes the factory Aimpoint mount. However, it seems every post on these sights shows where almost everyone is using a GGG, LaRue, etc. mount.

Does the factory mount just suck? This is going on the wife's AR, and likely never to be removed so any QD feature would go unused anyway.

Factory mount works fine.

Nothing wrong with the qrp2 mount. Some people just prefer throw levers I guess?

Thanks! Relieved to know I don't have to put another hundred or so into the mount.

Merry Christmas!

I don't get the fascination with QD mounts replacing the factory mount on Aimpoints. Is the the 2 seconds saved removing a lever mount vs the factory mount worth $150? The factory mount with the torque limiting knob may not be the sexiest thing around but it RTZ as good as anything out there. I have 2 Comp M4s and love 'em.

The "look" is what I'd guess drives most decisions regarding QD systems. Most aren't going to use them in there intended role.

I prefer the factory mount. Put a Larue or ADM on too tight and you need a tool to pry it open. The factory mount goes on easy and comes off easy. I don't remove it often but when I have it goes back without loosing enough for me to notice.
