Aimpoint is the originator and worldwide leader in red dot sighting technology, producing rugged optical sights for civilian, sports, law enforcement, and military applications.
Aimpoint is a Swedish shooting optics company widely recognized as the originator of the red dot sight. Founded in 1974, Aimpoint revolutionized the industry by creating a sighting system that allows for rapid target acquisition while keeping both eyes open. This technology enhances situational awareness and eliminates the need for centering the dot inside the sight, as the point of impact remains fixed regardless of eye position.
Today, Aimpoint products are used globally by elite military forces, law enforcement agencies, hunters, and competitive shooters. Their lineup includes the renowned Micro series, Comp series, PRO (Patrol Rifle Optic), and Acro series, all known for extreme durability, battery life measured in years (up to 50,000 hours), and reliability in harsh environmental conditions ranging from arctic cold to desert heat.

Yes, Aimpoint sights are designed to be parallax-free. The red dot follows the movement of the user's eye while remaining fixed on the target, eliminating the need for centering the dot within the tube.
Never clean the lenses with your fingers. Use lens paper or a soft cloth. If debris like sand is present, blow it away or rinse with clear water before wiping to avoid scratching the glass coating.
Many Aimpoint models, such as the CompM4, CompM5, T-2, and Duty RDS, are NVD-compatible. These sights usually have specific low-intensity settings (often positions 1-4) designed for use with night vision equipment.
To zero the sight, remove the adjustment caps (if applicable) and use the adjustment tool or cap knobs to turn the windage and elevation screws. Typically, turning the screw moves the point of impact in the direction indicated (e.g., Up/Down, Left/Right). Refer to your specific model's manual for click values (often approx. 13-16mm at 100m).
