If it's good enough for the IDF, it's good enough for me.

I wanted a Trijicon RX-10, but they are more than double the Meprolight 21 with the CHM.

It's a passive reflex with tritium for low light.

I got the half circle dot reticle.

We'll see how well it works when the weather gets better here.

What mount? I got one but mine is a little farther forward with a cmore. Old retro 90’s.

It's Meprolight's own mount for it. It came on the gooseneck.

It cowitnesses exact.

Looks nice and solid

I like that set up

I had never used an optic sight before I went to boot camp for the 2nd time in the fall of 2010.

At the time it was the Aimpoint CompM2 also known as the M68 Aimpoint.

I had an M16A4 but for some reason it had a gooseneck mount. I still think I shot better with it than any other since.

When I arrived in AFG, supply was out of Aimpoints, and ACOGS so I bought my own.

I settled on a Meopta ZD M-Rad Reflex Red Dot Sight 3 MOA Dot with Quick Detach Picatinny Mount.
(By the time it arrived, I was issued a CompM4.)

I always wanted to try a Meprolight 21.
My biggest problem would be what reticle to get.

Heat cause any Mirage issues overhanging the barrel and being so close?

I had a trijicon RX06 in a cantilever mount just like that circa 2007-2009. Handy little combo. I wound up trading it off after a few years, but sometimes I wish I still had it.

Man I love that little set-up. We trained for 30 days with IDF forces in the mid 90’s and they had set-ups just like that. I believe their optics were the old Trijicon RX01. It made our full size M16’s feel really heavy.

lol. Are we calling mid 90’s optics modern now? More correctly the title should be finally got an optic.

That being said I still love some of my old “modern” optics. Except for that original deltapoint. I spit at thee from the depths of hell or whatever Khan said.

It does look wicked cool though.

A vintage optic would be the Singlepoint OEG.

These are fielded now as new units by the IDF, so it's modern. They use the M22 also. Heck you can get the Trijicon RX10 on the CHM new, jut for twice the cost.

I have a Holosun RDS, but it uses batteries and isn't hardened so I don't trust it at all.

I had one on my Colt HBar.
My brain/eye pathways wouldn't make it work for me; they were kind enough to refund my purchase, and I went to an early Aimpoint 1000 or 2000.

Won a local fun "tactical" rifle/pistol match

with that and a Browning Hi Power. No one had seen red dots on AR's, and most else was using M1 carbines and M1A's.
