LaRue Mount

Aimpoint Micro and LaRue Quick-Detach Mount:

At an Urban Rifle Course in NV last weekend, I had the opportunity to test an Aimpoint Micro on my DSA/FAL/Congo.

My good friend Mark LaRue, at LaRue Tactical, is now making a wonderful, low-profile, quick-release mount, and even I was able to install it on my Aimpoint and then the whole package onto the DSA's top rail. I have it far forward, as is my preference, providing me with a full thirty centimeters of eye relief. Everything Mark LaRue makes is top-drawer, and this new mount fits the mold.

What a package! I can use the Aimpoint, yet easily see around it. Mark's mount is so low-profile, my cheek-weld is satisfactory and consistent. Ifmy Aimpoint fails, I can instantly remove it and default to iron sights.

After zeroing, I removed the Aimpoint, per the foregoing, and reinstalled it multiple times. Zero was unaffected!

This is a package that is highly recommended for anyone needing a heavy, military rifle that is intended for serious purposes. I keep mine in the car, in Transport Mode, with a magazine charged with Cor-Bon DPX. Nothing not to like!
