    Rifle Scopes New Aimpoint H34 Hunter model

    For some time now I've been stuck going back and forth between the Aimpoint CompM4S and the Micro T-1 while trying to decide which to mount on my DD M4. I prefer the 2 MOA dot on the M4, but can also appreciate the smaller form factor and outstanding reputation of the T-1. Now, to compound...

    Surefire X300 weapon light question
