The Aimpoint Micro H-1 is a Aimpoint Micro optic. Here is the Weaver-compatible mount it needs and why a Picatinny footprint mount may not seat on a Weaver slot.

Direct fitThe Aimpoint Micro H-1 reaches a Weaver base through a Weaver-compatible Aimpoint Micro-pattern Picatinny mount. A Picatinny version of the same footprint mount may not seat, because its 5.23 mm recoil lug can be too wide for the 4.57 mm Weaver slot. Buy the Weaver-cut mount, or fit a Picatinny base first.

The Aimpoint Micro H-1 is a Aimpoint Micro optic, so it needs a Aimpoint Micro mount. On a Weaver base that mount has to be a Weaver-compatible version: Weaver slots are narrower and spaced differently from Picatinny, so a full-width Picatinny recoil lug may not drop in.

If the only Aimpoint Micro mount you can find is Picatinny-cut, the cleaner fix is to replace the Weaver base with a Picatinny rail, then use the standard Aimpoint Micro Picatinny mount. Check the mount clamps square before locking it down.
