Aimpoint CompM4 or Aimpoint PRO

Big Green · Jun 12, 2020

Anyone own both or have used both? CompM5 vs PRO is also a valid comparison, not just the M4.

I do like that the CompM4 uses a AA battery to the PRO’s DL1/3N. CompM5 uses a AAA.

Both have 2MOA dot.

I really need several optics so eventually I’ll probably end buying both, but any reason one over the other now?

Also, any favorites for mounts for CompM4?

Personally, I would go with the compm4/m5. Its personal bias, partially because they've been proven tried and tried military optics, partially because I aesthetically like them more. Also the common battery thing is a personal requirement. They're also considerably more expensive and you won't do yourself any disservice by going with the PRO

Comp 4 with the factory mount. If its good enough for military use It will work for me!

Why the PRO over the CompM4?

Advantages of the PRO to you?

I like the PRO's I have, but am not as familiar with the CompM4.

Renegade · Jun 12, 2020

I like both, both performed same, PRO is 1/2 price.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. The PRO does use the same battery my PA PRO knockoff uses. The M4 with AA battery really is calling my name. Decisions, decisions.

Either way you won't be getting a bad optic. I'd just go with what your heart desires

When shouldered they are likely to be indistinguishable.

The CompM4 is more likely to survive a fall off a cliff. The Pro leaves a lot of butter and beer and egg money in the pocket.

New, scarcely known, CompM5 is newest greatest and pushing a grand on your AMEX.
Any first hand experience??

I’ve got a older CompML2 and a PRO, only played with a ML4 and like the Pro really well. It’s going on 2 years with the same Battery Set at the lowest setting. I’ve got several new ones but trying to run it out to see how long it’ll last..

I know HK is gone but I meant to respond to this the other week.

Originally the M5 battery compartment was up high but I believe I recently saw it down low now (could be wrong though.) If it is, I’m not opposed to the M5 either. The M4 battery is more common around my house though.

saw a complaint of leaking AAA batteries on another forum, so whichever you get, avoid alkaline batteries.

Specific to the M5? Or just in general?

DyeF9 · Jul 18, 2020

You can get the m5 with a compartment up high or down low, there's two versions. Also, it is recommended you use lithium batteries, as they're sealed better and don't leak like alkaline ones do after sitting inside there for a couple years.

I’m a Aimpoint man on a Holosun budget.

Big Green · Jul 18, 2020

I don’t have any Holosuns but do have some Primary Arms. They work, but no more Chinese optics for me. F China

In general. Lithium atteries are sealed better. It read like it was more the recoil that caused them to leak.
