No one is selling these now - right???
I did some limited testing @ 50 yards using 2" dot targets. I did two five shot groups, removed/reinstalled and repeated a few times. The POI remained about the same.
Not that I really have a need to take my optic off on a regular basis, but it worked for my purposes.
I think it’s more that everyone who still sells them to the general public is out of stock on them.
Also considering T1 for size/wt. How much do you lose beyond 100m with the 4moa dot??
The dot is literally twice as big.
Not really.
T1/H1 has the same size emitter as a 4MOA Comp-series device, but in a shorter body. It’s about 3.5MOA…
…which is a somewhat moot point, anyway, in regard to what’s “lost.” One doesn’t lose anything realistic between a 2MOA and a larger dot if one, for instance, zeros to the top (12 o’clock) of the dot dot they have, instead of to the center.
Maintain the same absolutely (or as absolutely as possible) definable aimpoint, the “past X distance, the dot covers the target” argument becomes far less relevant. It’s understandable why it happens, but folks tend to vapor-lock on any given reticle as an absolutely-only-one-way-to-use-it thing, and this is rarely the case.
At any rate, nobody “loses” anything with a >2MOA dot, as it’s been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that holding 1MOA with a 4MOA Aimpoint is absolutely doable, but that’s where we start talking about the Indian and not the bow.
Roger - and that is what I need to know - in the sense or practical shooting. I suppose at CQB it is ‘better’, but wondered how to mitigate for hits beyond 100 yards. Thanks.
in my case, I removed the PRO in the QRP mount to change out a rail. I left the BUIS in place and it was still zeroed when I checked it. however, the PRO was 4" left at 25 yards after I remounted it.
I did not re-zero it as this time as I was out of good ammo and used the opportunity to catch up on some iron sight practice with the Wolf ammo I had left.
I since removed it and remounted it with attention to making sure it was aligned tight against the right side of the rail before I tightened the clamp nut. I’ll let you know what my results are later this week…
We just got more in stock!

I found that I can tighten as much as I need by putting pressure down on the thumb screw and not letting it ratchet under normal pressure.
Mine came loose but not from the rail. Mine slid backwards in the mount after about 400 rounds of use. It was obvisouly sliding back and forth in the mount becuase the anodizing wore off…The screws may not have been tight from aimpoint, i didn’t check them when i installed it. They didnt really seem that loose though either after i noticed it had moved around.
Grant, are these still restricted from civilian purchase?
Technically, yes they are. PM me to see if you qualify.

Quick question…Do these optics typically ship without a battery??
Just received a NIB Aimpoint PRO, no battery either in optic or loose in box. Typical or fluke???

Dig though the foam slots real good, mine was buried in there

They normally come with a battery. As the other poster stated, look carefully in the foam. It should be there.
Must be a fluke, none in the box. Only thing besides optic & paperwork were two sockethead screws and one allen wrench.
Thanks much for the quick reply.
who did you get this from? I would contact them for remedy as Aimpoint includes the batt…
DSG Arms. They shipped me out a battery via 2nd day service and threw in two nice freebies as well. No included battery was a fluke. Kudos to Defense Solutions Group.

Just got an aimpoint pro, pretty awesome.
