MaTech Aimpoint Micro Mount

[Specialized Armament]

I finally got around to checking out one of the new Aimpoint Micro T-1/H-1 mounts from Matech. While intended to be used on belt fed weapons, at only 3.9 onces I just had to try one on a Colt LE6921. The mount is secured by two low profile throw levers. Elevation adjustment is made by a knob on the left rear of the mount similar to the original Matech rear BUIS.

My expectations of the mount were certainly met if not exceeded. I zeroed the weapon on the 200 yard setting at 25 yards with XM855. The target, an MGM Auto-Popper Colt Speed Plate (http://mgmtargets.com/tstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3) of course. I did back the 6" plate with a 10" X 10" piece of yellow wax board. From a prone supported position I engaged the target with ten rounds from 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards making the corresponding change to the Matechs elevation adjustment knob. The results...

100 - 10/10 Steel Hits
200 - 9/10 Steel Hits - 1 on the backer
300 - 7/10 Steel Hits - 3 on the backer
400 - 4/10 Steel Hits - 4 on the backer - 2 mikes

Crunch the data however you want. I consider the mount to be well designed and it works. I will try and get a few photos up in the next day or two. There are a couple photos available on Gear Scout.

Con: We had to modify a T-10 driver to fit through bottom of the mount to install the mounting fasteners.

Sounds like an interesting design Mark. I look forward to seeing your pics.

Is that the mount that you have to give up your unborn baby to pay for it?

It is.

They'll do fine if they have A .gov contract but they appear to have priced themselves out of the commercial market.

I was all set to get one when they first came out until I saw the price. Could justify it. Wish it was cheaper because I would have bought one when they came out.

How much do they cost? I have looked around and can’t find anyone that sells them.

[Wondering Beard]

Are they set for 62gr ammo and would it be difficult to use them with other bullet weights?

[Paulo_Santos]

About $300

That’s a little steep but I like the idea of having a mount that allows you to adjust for range.

Considering how low cost their BUIS is, its odd to see the mount cost so much.

I wish Aimpoint would come out with an Aimpoint with BDC type turrets. I know that most people wouldn't need or want one, but for the guys that use a magnifier, the BDC turrets would be very useful.
