Re: Reflex or red dot
Is there much of a price difference between H1 and the H2 ?

Interesting, I never knew that was available.Gun Barrel Ecologist wrote:Isn’t the Aimpoint also available in a 4MoA version? Or is that now only an option with the 9000, carbine optic, and other lines, not the H2?

9000, H1 & H2 have a 4MoA option https://www.aimpoint.com/product/aimpoint-micro-h-1/ & https://www.aimpoint.com/product/aimpoint-micro-h-2/9.3x64 wrote:Interesting, I never knew that was available.Gun Barrel Ecologist wrote:Isn’t the Aimpoint also available in a 4MoA version?

Not sure if a 4MoA H2 is a standard option with the Blaser mount though

Re: Reflex or red dot
I will say this, I've tried all sorts of shotgun red-dot sights (with rifles, the "cross-dominance" of my eyes isn't an issue as I'm usually shutting one eye), and in the process of doing so, I've tried several different incarnations of attaching Aimpoints to the shotgun. However, this new Aimpoint S-1 is better than any of those other attachments. And, owing to the fact that you don't really have to sight it in (I just get the Aimpoint lined up with the shotgun's bead), you can easily move it from shotgun to shotgun. In fact, I'm going wingshooting in Argentina in a few months, and I'm not taking a shotgun, but I'm going to take the S-1 and attach it to one of their shotguns.
As an aside, one Aimpoint attachment that I haven't tried, and that could potentially make an H1, H2, T1 or T2 similar to the new S1 in that it attaches the aforementioned sights to the shotgun's rib is the below attachment (you may need a Google YouTube account to see this official Aimpoint video):

In this set-up, though, the dot would still be higher than the S-1 as the S-1 puts the dot in the lower third of the optic.
Here's what the Aimpoint S-1 looks like on the shotgun (I purposely chose a still image showing the wad leaving the shotgun as I thought that neat):

Re: Reflex or red dot
The S1 looks like it might have some real potential with shotgun shooting, could be good for teaching new shooters lead too. This definitely interests me,
