So my hearts abit broken right now. I have an Acro on a Gen 5 19 MOS. Sold my type 2 for it and before the type 2 I had  a type 1 and experienced dot flicker. Well so tonight I was doing some small dry fire ( by small I mean literally laying in bed and point click, light rack repeat) and boom dot flicked off on the Acro. I was confused as hell so I racked it again and it came back on. First time it turned off after I pulled the trigger so I tried to replicate this and well I did but now that dots completely gone, won’t even come back on if I press the buttons. Keep in mind this unit is new and has barely even been touched.

Well that's a huge bummer... Same issue here. Aimpoint sent a brand new unit no questions asked. Send an email to their customer service and they'll send you a shipping label.

Is the battery cover as tight as possible? I've had Aimpoints come from the factory with battery caps that weren't fully tight causing this problem.

As tight as it will go, one thing to note with the acro is the battery cap kind of a pain in the ass and if you aren’t careful you’ll thread it on wrong

Has Aimpoint responded? My replacement is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. ACRO #2 has been 100% for me.
