Aimpoint picatinny vs ventiled rib
Posted on 9/15/19 at 3:13 am
Posted on 9/15/19 at 3:13 am
Hello,
Im about to buy one aimpoint for my shotgun.
I can mount the picatinny one (like the micro h2) or the ventiled rib one (the micro s1), but im not sure what to choose.
1* Since the distance between the hunter and the dot is not the same for each one, i would like to know witch mount is better to acquire the target fast, and for overall hunting?
2* Is it better to choose the picatinny (close AB distance) or the ventiled rib (far AB distance) for better performance .

Thanks

I dont have a RD on my shotgun but I think I’d rather it closer on the picatinny rail (but maybe opposite end from your link.

Usually have sight above ejection port

In my experience dot distance to shooters eye makes no difference in speed of target acquisition.I find what slows people down is searching for the dot.
Remember: target focus, superimpose the dot on the target. It’s not a rifle scope. Don’t try to look through it.
I’d go picatinny in your case solely for resale value.

What are you hunting?
I have a Burris Fastfire on one of mine for a very short time. I was useless for birds and actually reduced the sight picture.
For deer and turkey it would be fine but not birds.

I don’t understand why you would want that on a shotgun. What’s wrong with just having a bead on the end of barrel?

Im hunting birds and deer, and that's why im asking
I want to choose between the micro s1 and micro h2
The micro s1 can be placed on the rib, close or far, but the micro h2 will be only close like the burris fastfire.
My worries are about the distance, if i put it on the picatinny ( close) it can help me for fast targetting, but idk if it reduces the view or not.

All i need to know, is the difference between the 2 mounts ( having a close aimpoint or a far )

Close definitely reduces your sight picture.
For deer you would be fine. For birds, no (at least I didn't think so).

S1 seems like a cool option for shotgun people. If you are hunting deer though, you may not want that bigger dot size (its around 6moa iirc). either works. I'm sure aimpoint did their research on what works best.

I agree with you, and the 6 moa is one of reasons that makes me wonder.
6 moa is a big dot for deers or wild hog... the micro h2 is a close aimpoint, but it has 2/4/6 moa, while the s1 is only with 6 moa, it is good for birds and that's it.
A wild hog at 40m distance can be a problem with 6 moa, no?

Not really. It would cover 2.4 inches of the hog. When you start going a bit further, it makes it more difficult.
