The 2 MOA red dot allows for enhanced speed on target and increased first shot hit probability. Transparent rear, and solid black front protective flip-up lens caps allow the sight to be used with the covers closed (with both eyes open) and make it possible to use directly into bright sunlight by leaving the front cover closed. - 30,000-hours (3 years) of constant-on battery life at setting 7 of 10 - Uses one DL 1/3N battery (supplied)- Absolute co-witness with iron sights (with the supplied spacer installed)- 2 MOA red dot for accuracy at all distances- In-service date and battery change date reminder decal included- Submersible to 150 Feet- Operationally parallax free- Threaded front lens opening allows for use with optional screw-in anti-reflection device (ARD)

Review: Switched from Eotech... Will never go back... - EDIT: Updated with more info, and fixed some content to give better explanations. With this Aimpoint PRO you truly do "get more than you pay for." I switched to it from an Eotech 512.A65 because I hated the 65MOA ring on the Eotech. It seemed to always cause problems with my vision for both eyes open shooting. I also found that the Eotech was a little low for me when mounted straight to the top rail. I may have needed a riser for it, but the fact that I was not having much luck with the reticle and the height issue was not really worth me getting a riser to see if that might help. To me the reticle being compatible with your eye, shooting style and brain is the most important part of the optic. When you get this it is simply packaged in a plain white cardboard box. No fancy tupperware or pelican case for it. Simply a plain white box with some stickers on it. Inside it some run of the mill foam. So why just a box? Well this was designed to be purchased and used by police departments. When Aimpoint first introduced them they were only available for purchase by law enforcement. Most police departments, at least the ones I have been associated with, could care less what it comes it, they just want a product that works. The cardboard box also helps to keep the overall cost of the product down. The boxes are literally meant to be tossed (or recycled if thats how you swing) when the optic is taken out and mounted. Also inside the box is an allen wrench for taking the riser off, shorter screws for using without the riser installed and one 1/3N-Cell battery. First impressions of the mount and optic together is "that is one HUGE knob..." It is much bigger than it look in the pictures, and it sticks out a fair amount. The riser actually looks nice, and of course being the gadget kind of guy I am I had to take it off to see how it would look without it in place. You quickly see that you need the riser, or you will end up with a sore neck and cheek. The torque limiting mount is actually very nice. In the past I have seen quite a few top rails that have been permanently damaged by over tightening rail attachments. Once you click it three times it is set, and very secure. I tend to give it a click or two whenever I pick up my rifle or get out to the range just to make sure that it is good and tight. The knob is low enough that it does not interfere with your vision, and I have yet to have it get in the way when shooting. Over all the mount is very well made and a wonderfully innovative design. One thing that I did do was when I reinstalled the riser after experimenting, I put some blue (242) Loc-Tite on the screws, just to ensure that the screws were not able to back out on their own. While I do not foresee this as an issue, one can never be too careful with something used as a defensive tool. I have removed this mount and optic several times to test the return to zero, and each time I have not had any shift in my zero. Something to note though that is you will need to return the optic to the same rail slot in order to maintain zero, moving the optic on your rail will result in the shift. If you plan to re-index the optic on your rail you will want to go back and zero your rifle and optic again. Pre-installed on the optic are lens covers and a battery and turret cap keeper. The lens covers are of decent quality, and appear to be of the same type as Butler Creek, but appear to be better made. The cover that comes on the rear is clear and the front cover is black. While you can get two clear covers, the combination of the clear and black will work for a shooter that leaves both eyes open. Even though you cannot see through the optic, the dot will still superimpose onto your vision and you can still use the red dot. This can be used in a panic situation where you have your rifle, and have not flipped the front cap. One thing that I did find though is that when shooting in this way that my shots were hitting about 1" low at 25 yards. While not a huge point of impact change, if you are shooting farther that will open all the way up to 4" low at 100 yards. In a CQB situation, 1" low is not going to make a huge difference, and will still affect the desired outcome on a torso sized target. But it is something that you want to practice and find out how much of a change in impact you will get. The cap keeper that comes with the optic is nice rubber, and will hold the caps for you. The keeper connects the battery cover and both of the adjustment turret covers. So if you are at the range and remove your adjustment turret caps they will stay attached to the optic. This is a nice feature so that you do not lose your caps. I have lost a fair share of turret caps in the past just by setting them down and then leaving without them. The adjustment turrets are 1/2MOA per click. The clicks were a little weak, but when I switched from a screw driver to a coin I was able to feel them a lot better. This is probably because the clicks transfer through the metal coin better than through the plastic handle of a screw driver. So I just use a coin now to make any adjustments and any of the common coins you will find in your pocket will work. There are a total of 10 brightness settings on this optic. While four of them are for night vision devices, the other six are visible without night vision. I do find that only the last three settings are actually visible, even in complete darkness. So there is three settings that seem to be lost in limbo, they are too bright for night vision and not bright enough to be seen without night vision. I tend to use the settings at the 8 and 9 position. With this dot I have found that you want to keep the brightness as low as you can for your situation because the brighter the dot, the more it bleeds in the dark. Also of no real use if the brightest setting, or the 10 setting. It is so bright that the dot bleeds, and it actually illuminates the outside edge of the optic around the glass. I currently have mine sighted in at 25yds for CQB/Home defense work, but have shot it out to 300yds and was consistently hitting a 4MOA gong without any problems. The best way to find a good zero for yourself is to find the furthest you plan to shoot. Once you have that information you can plug your data into a ballistic calculator and find out where the bullet will cross your line of sight. So if you want to zero to 300 yards the round you fire round will cross your line of sight at 36yds and then arc back to the point of aim at 300yds. This gives you both a close in zero and a ranged zero if you were ever to need both. This typically called a battle zero, or BZO. One feature that really helped to sell me on the Aimpoint PRO was that it is waterproof to 150ft (5.5ATA for the diver types). While I do not see myself taking my rifle SCUBA diving anytime soon, the waterproof nature of this optic is a nice feature. I am in the Pacific Northwest where it tends to rain most of the year, so range time might include being out in the rain. Unfortunately that is just a fact of life here. It is a great comfort to know that in a hard rain that my optic will not be damaged and will continue to function as designed. Another positive to it being waterproof is that if it gets dirty, dusty or otherwise fouled it can be removed from your rifle and rinsed off in the sink. I have done this once after training sessions where I was running and moving around a muddy range all day. It was a great relief to know that I could wash it off, let it dry and oil everything down. This is truly a great optic for the price. Typically they can be had for around $400 depending on where you order one from. You can find them used in the $300 range. What you get with this optic is the same high end Aimpoint quality, battery life and simplicity for a smaller price tag. While there are some differences in the battery life between the Aimpoint PRO and the CompM3, they are not really worth the extra money that you end up spending in my opinion. A battery life of 30,000 hours is pretty good and translates out to 3.7 years. The CompM3 has a battery life of 50,000 hours, or 6.2 years. When a new battery will run you $6, I couldn't justify the added expense. Whether you are looking for a new optic with less clutter, or something with amazing battery life this optic is amazing for the price. You cannot go wrong with this as a red dot sight. It functions well, is reliable and holds a zero. Don't be fooled by the price tag, this is a solid optic that will stad up every bit as good as any other Aimpoint out there.
Review: A new cap design and excellent performance on the range, it's bad to the bone! - This is a marvelous red dot scope that provides exceptional shooting performance on the range. It is ultra-high quality and easy to sight in and use. This is a new design with changes to the caps that cover the elevation, windage and battery compartments. There are some good and some bad changes. The keeper strap is also changed for this newer design. The elevation and windage caps are now the same ones that they put onto the military Aimpoint versions. The caps are slotted and easy to remove using simply a coin like a quarter to tighten them down or to remove them. The three legged rubber style keeper strap is gone and there are smaller rubber keeper straps connected to the windage and elevation caps so that when you remove them they simply lay to the side while you make your adjustments and this is a nice change. Again I just used a quarter. The battery compartment cap is also changed with a knurled edge so you can unscrew it easily but there is no retaining strap at all. I was so upset I called Aimpoint and they told me that no one ever loses their battery cap cover. This is BS and I can see people at the range, outdoors or in the military losing the cap and thus the Aimpoint Pro sight is no longer working. Heck I tightened the battery cover pretty tight and after 200 rounds it was loose just from gun vibration. This is a flaw IMHO of their design and they probably saved a nickel. It needs a strap and that is my only complaint about the scope. This is an expensive piece of hardware and it needs a security strap on the battery cover. I looked at Eotech and Aimpoint and I went with Aimpoint because I liked the quality better. The red dot is a 2 MOA red dot and it allows for precise targeting. Even when using a 3X multiplier the dot is still small and it doesn't occlude your target downrange while you are shooting. I love that the included battery has a battery life of 3 years if left on all the time. That is on level 7 which is good for most shooting conditions. That is amazing. It is designed for law enforcement and even many military people use it as it is always ready. Grab your rifle and lift it up to your eye and the sight is always on. The red dot has 10 levels of brightness and at 9 and 10 you can get some red feedback into the scope. The bottom four levels are designed for use with night vision optical devices. Level 7 is shown on the rheostat dial with a white dot that aligns up with a white dot on the battery compartment. (See my video) The scope comes with flip up front and rear covers. The rear cover has clear center so you can use the scope with the cover down but the front scope is solid black plastic. Are your ready for some magic? Grab your rifle and sight through it with both covers closed. Yes closed! Sight down field with both eyes open as you should always do. Your right eye sees the red dot on the inside back cover of the scope and your left eye sees down field the target and the red dot is super imposed onto the target. How is that done? Your mind transfers the red dot position into your field of vision and it is dead on accurate. Even with the lens cap closed the sight works! In battle, police situations and home defense you may not remember to turn on a red dot or flip up the covers. With the Aimpoint Pro the sight is already on and you can shoot with the covers down! I can't show this in my video but it works perfectly! This allows for very fast sighting of a target even if you forget to open the lens caps and turn the unit on (As it should be always left on). The sight comes with a high quality mount that has a large tool-less tightening knob on the side for your mounting to your gun's rail. The knob is torque-limiting and as you pick the location on your rail that you want to use and then tighten the knob until it clicks 3 times and it is tight. After 200 rounds at the range I turned the knob and it easily clicked again so after a lot of use you should check the tightness of the scope. In my video I flip up my Vortex 3X scope and I sight through the rear lens cap when it is down. The scope has very nice lens caps on it and they are spring loaded and a little push and they pop up. The Aimpoint has no magnification and it is ideal to co register with your iron sights. In my case I mounted a Vortex 3X scope on the rail and I don't have enough space for a Magpul flip up sight. With the scope flipped up the Aimpoint is ideal for close combat with easy target acquisition. With the scope down you are deadly accurate with your shots at long range. At 25 and 30 yards I was shooting 5 shot patterns within a ¾ of an inch spread while standing up with my one arm resting on the bench top at a range. I was shocked. I show this in my video. This is mill spec quality. The lenses are recessed for protection and to avoid getting finger prints on them. The lenses are optically coated and the internal space is purged and filled with inert dry gas to prevent fogging of the lens on the inside. It is also waterproof to 150 feet of submergence. I won't go swimming with my rifle but it is nice to know that the rain will not bother the red dot sight. Before I went to the range I used my SightMark laser cartridge and sighted in the Aimpoint scope. That gets me on the paper. At the range it was then easy to sight into the bull's eye and maintain tight patterns in my shooting. In my video I show the red dot on level 7 settings and on level 10. I also show my working targets from the range. This is an excellent product with superior performance for me. I am 65 years old and shot those targets standing up. The Aimpoint sight made all of the difference and I recommend it highly. I rated it at 5 stars. I liked this optic so much that I went back and purchased a second one for another rifle. I would only own one of two different optics and this is one of my top two choices based on my shooting experiences. I love the battery reliability and the ruggedness of the sight design. I shoot indoors and outdoors and I like how it does not fog up easily due to temp changes. I haven’t even had to change the battery yet as the battery life is so good. It was easy to install and easy to sight in for great shooting accuracy. The mount is solid and stable and I only occasionally tighten it after shooting several hundred rounds. The accuracy has not varied at all since I have installed it and shot it at the range multiple times. This device is rugged, accurate and stable. It is a top quality sight. The accuracy of the sight has not varied regardless of whether I am shooting indoors, where it is warm, or outdoors in cold weather.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is the rear flip cover clear? I cannot fathom what the advantage would be.**
A: Not sure what the designers intended, but if you don't have time to flip up the covers, the clear rear cover will allow you to use the sight as an occluded eye gunsight.  If both eyes are open, the dominant eye will see the dot and your brain will superimpose the dot correctly on the target as seen by the non-dominant eye.

**Q: will this co witness with the iron sights of a Tavor SAR?**
A: Absolutely. I've got mine on a Tavor and co-witness is perfect with the integrated flip up sights.

**Q: Anyone use this on a .308?**
A: Yes. Used one on a LR308 for a while. Worked fine, no problems.

**Q: Does the box come sealed either with tape or in plastic? My aimpoint box was not sealed in anyway and appeared to have marks on the adjustment screws.**
A: Sales of this optic in Europe come in a sealed box. That is a fact! Just look on YouTube. And the consumer is perfectly warranted in being concerned if a $500 item is delivered in an unsealed box. They have NO way of knowing whether the item had been previously opened, previously purchased or sold, or previously used and returned. No way!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Switched from Eotech... Will never go back...
*by S***R on May 26, 2013*

*by J***O on July 5, 2015*

This is a marvelous red dot scope that provides exceptional shooting performance on the range. It is ultra-high quality and easy to sight in and use. This is a new design with changes to the caps that cover the elevation, windage and battery compartments. There are some good and some bad changes. The keeper strap is also changed for this newer design. The elevation and windage caps are now the same ones that they put onto the military Aimpoint versions. The caps are slotted and easy to remove using simply a coin like a quarter to tighten them down or to remove them. The three legged rubber style keeper strap is gone and there are smaller rubber keeper straps connected to the windage and elevation caps so that when you remove them they simply lay to the side while you make your adjustments and this is a nice change. Again I just used a quarter. The battery compartment cap is also changed with a knurled edge so you can unscrew it easily but there is no retaining strap at all. I was so upset I called Aimpoint and they told me that no one ever loses their battery cap cover. This is BS and I can see people at the range, outdoors or in the military losing the cap and thus the Aimpoint Pro sight is no longer working. Heck I tightened the battery cover pretty tight and after 200 rounds it was loose just from gun vibration. This is a flaw IMHO of their design and they probably saved a nickel. It needs a strap and that is my only complaint about the scope. This is an expensive piece of hardware and it needs a security strap on the battery cover. I looked at Eotech and Aimpoint and I went with Aimpoint because I liked the quality better. The red dot is a 2 MOA red dot and it allows for precise targeting. Even when using a 3X multiplier the dot is still small and it doesn't occlude your target downrange while you are shooting. I love that the included battery has a battery life of 3 years if left on all the time. That is on level 7 which is good for most shooting conditions. That is amazing. It is designed for law enforcement and even many military people use it as it is always ready. Grab your rifle and lift it up to your eye and the sight is always on. The red dot has 10 levels of brightness and at 9 and 10 you can get some red feedback into the scope. The bottom four levels are designed for use with night vision optical devices. Level 7 is shown on the rheostat dial with a white dot that aligns up with a white dot on the battery compartment. (See my video) The scope comes with flip up front and rear covers. The rear cover has clear center so you can use the scope with the cover down but the front scope is solid black plastic. Are your ready for some magic? Grab your rifle and sight through it with both covers closed. Yes closed! Sight down field with both eyes open as you should always do. Your right eye sees the red dot on the inside back cover of the scope and your left eye sees down field the target and the red dot is super imposed onto the target. How is that done? Your mind transfers the red dot position into your field of vision and it is dead on accurate. Even with the lens cap closed the sight works! In battle, police situations and home defense you may not remember to turn on a red dot or flip up the covers. With the Aimpoint Pro the sight is already on and you can shoot with the covers down! I can't show this in my video but it works perfectly! This allows for very fast sighting of a target even if you forget to open the lens caps and turn the unit on (As it should be always left on). The sight comes with a high quality mount that has a large tool-less tightening knob on the side for your mounting to your gun's rail. The knob is torque-limiting and as you pick the location on your rail that you want to use and then tighten the knob until it clicks 3 times and it is tight. After 200 rounds at the range I turned the knob and it easily clicked again so after a lot of use you should check the tightness of the scope. In my video I flip up my Vortex 3X scope and I sight through the rear lens cap when it is down. The scope has very nice lens caps on it and they are spring loaded and a little push and they pop up. The Aimpoint has no magnification and it is ideal to co register with your iron sights. In my case I mounted a Vortex 3X scope on the rail and I don't have enough space for a Magpul flip up sight. With the scope flipped up the Aimpoint is ideal for close combat with easy target acquisition. With the scope down you are deadly accurate with your shots at long range. At 25 and 30 yards I was shooting 5 shot patterns within a ¾ of an inch spread while standing up with my one arm resting on the bench top at a range. I was shocked. I show this in my video. This is mill spec quality. The lenses are recessed for protection and to avoid getting finger prints on them. The lenses are optically coated and the internal space is purged and filled with inert dry gas to prevent fogging of the lens on the inside. It is also waterproof to 150 feet of submergence. I won't go swimming with my rifle but it is nice to know that the rain will not bother the red dot sight. Before I went to the range I used my SightMark laser cartridge and sighted in the Aimpoint scope. That gets me on the paper. At the range it was then easy to sight into the bull's eye and maintain tight patterns in my shooting. In my video I show the red dot on level 7 settings and on level 10. I also show my working targets from the range. This is an excellent product with superior performance for me. I am 65 years old and shot those targets standing up. The Aimpoint sight made all of the difference and I recommend it highly. I rated it at 5 stars. I liked this optic so much that I went back and purchased a second one for another rifle. I would only own one of two different optics and this is one of my top two choices based on my shooting experiences. I love the battery reliability and the ruggedness of the sight design. I shoot indoors and outdoors and I like how it does not fog up easily due to temp changes. I haven’t even had to change the battery yet as the battery life is so good. It was easy to install and easy to sight in for great shooting accuracy. The mount is solid and stable and I only occasionally tighten it after shooting several hundred rounds. The accuracy has not varied at all since I have installed it and shot it at the range multiple times. This device is rugged, accurate and stable. It is a top quality sight. The accuracy of the sight has not varied regardless of whether I am shooting indoors, where it is warm, or outdoors in cold weather.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars way up!
*by B***B on October 23, 2015*

I've had this for a few weeks and finally got a chance to take it into the range for a test. This optic is on my Bushmaster lower Yankee Hill TJ 300 Blk upper. I got on the paper pretty easy (factory setting was pretty high in elevation), and zeroed in about 5 or 6 shots. For indoor I used the lightest brightness setting and was getting fantastic groups at 50 yards. Even at 75 yards, which is the distance on the picture I attached, I was shooting dead center no problem. Bottom line is this optic is fantastic and worth every penny. I chose this over an EoTech because of the insane battery life and simply because I took a look through an EoTech at the local cabelas and I didn't like it one bit. Go to a store or find a friend that has one and take a look through prior to making any purchases. This optic is reliable, precise, user friendly, and worth the extra money if you're considering getting an entry level red dot. Learn from other people's mistakes and just get this optic from the get go, you won't regret it! 7/10/2018 Update: I just want to say that years later after purchasing this red dot I think I want to buy another one... I actually sold this Aimpoint PRO to finance a Precision bolt action style rifle. Since then however, I've built a new AR-15 with a 14.5" barrel and a pinned flash hider with the intention of being a CQB / Home defense style rifle. After reviewing a lot of other red dots, scopes, and various optics the Aimpoints are still an unbelievably reliable and proven optic. I had mine on for years and the battery never went out. At 100 yards I was able to shoot 2 inch groups with slow fire. I'm considering a couple other optics solutions currently as I shop for my new AR, but for the price and track record I think the PRO is a solid choice.
