Before I start my review, lets get something clear. I would prefer no comments saying something like that is too much scope for a $400-$500 plinker with 3 MOA accuracy. First of all, when I add up all the things I have on my 15-22, plus other attachments that occasionally go on, my gun costs way more than $500. Heck, just my suppressor costs over $700, when you include the fee for the stamp. Add CMC trigger, updated stock, grips, etc. and the gun ain't some cheap thing anymore. Secondly, I shoot my 15-22 A LOT! I have a home range specifically set up to shoot my 22s suppressed, so I shoot my 15-22 a couple of times a week where I shoot my AR maybe once a year. Why should my SHTF AR sit locked up with a great optic (Eotech 552) while my most used rifle (15-22) gets the cheap stuff? Lastly, I can afford it. I don't drink, smoke, golf or gamble. My play money goes toward my firearm addiction. Yes, I admit it.
I started with & have used a TRS-25... and really like it. It is a great starting point and for most, all they might ever need on a 15-22. My eyes aren't the best anymore so I later added a Primary Arms 3x magnifier with flip to side mount. This makes my 15-22 much like my AR, with the Eotech & their 3x magnifier on Larue flip mount. Once my home range became operational & I received my suppressor, my shooting increased greatly. At that point I decided to upgrade my optics to something better. After some research, I chose the Aimpoint Pro.
First of all, it matches up perfectly with my Primary Arms magnifier, with no risers or adjustments needed. It also is built like a tank. I have seen video where folks take it off their gun & just throw the thing as far as they can... and put it back on with no issues. I love the mount that it comes with... very beefy & has a super cool tightening knob with built in ratchet. When you get to the proper torque, it will not tighten any more. Battery like is stated to be 3 years, with the sight constantly staying on. Since this is not a duty rifle, I will turn mine off when not in use so maybe that one battery will outlive me. It also comes with built in, flip up covers. What is really cool about this optic is the rear cover is clear & you can clearly see thru it. I'm sure this helps if shooting in a rain but where it mostly helps me is when using the magnifier. With this, I don't have to flip the magnifier to flip open the rear cover... I leave the cover down & sight thru it. I personally get almost no reduction in clarity when sighting thru the cover as opposed to flipping it open.
Another brilliant idea is the retainer strap that goes over your 3 covers... windage, elevation & battery access. You never have to worry about losing one again. Yesterday when sighting it in, I removed the 2 for sight adjustment but they stayed on the optic because the battery compartment cover was still on. Maybe this is a little thing and maybe lots of other optics have it, but I have never seen it before & it really is nice.
I love this optic and for $400 that ain't so bad... especially when you consider it comes with a nice mount. As nice as my Eotech is, I would take this optic over it any day.

Rifleman Location: Texas | So I was always an eotech fan untill mine crapped out on me and cost me a 300+ lb hogzilla, long story short I purchased an aimpoint comp m4 today for 375$ used, and instantly felt retarded as I was not aware of all the fakes that fly around the world, the serial number is scratched the first letter is W and then numbers, however rest of the sight looks like the real deal, adjustments, 15 settings (no green dot) like said in the hasty research I did the first 7 settings is nvd, the power knob stops after the last setting and you have to go backwards instead of keep turning it through, the lens changes from red to yellow/orangish to green as you turn it away, it takes single AA bat, it is waterproof (tested in a 12 ft pool) lenses don't fog (from fridge to oven test) the mount is correct with the qbp or whatever it's called ( clicks so you don't over tighten ) aimpoint sign seem to be laser etched and so is the adjustment knobs, here are some pics, I hope I got lucky and my unusual stupidity is just a scare. |

- Go to the Aimpoint webpage and register the optic. I would definately call them as well to give them the serial number. They will be able to tell you if it was registered before, who had it registered, and if it is in fact real. You may be suprised at how authentic the clones look. Just about identical on the outside side by side with Ainpoint.
- I decided not to get it, I don't feel like spending another $150-$200 for a Larue or ADM mount. Randy, I know its doesn't compare to the real thing but I had one of the Primary Arms micro dots which is basically the same thing on a DD mount and I didn't really like it.
