So I just got my first aimpoint a PRO from aimsurplus. I have noticed when looking through the optic I can see a red line running from about 10 o'clock  to 4 o'clock with the aimpoint on or off. Is this a normal for this optic? It's also not always there just depends on the lighting I guess. If it's not normal what's the best way to get ahold of aimpoint? Thanks in advance

Ok, I'm not joking I was asking a serious question about my optic as I stated never had a aimpoint before. Just asking if this is common or something wrong with my optic. I was trying to avoid talking to aimpoint in case this was normal but I see no help or advise will come from here so Mods can remove this thread. Thanks anyways.

Yeah its too bad that I have never seen anyone from Aimpoint in this forum.  What is the point of having it if they dont respond to anything.

Try rotating the optic and see if the line stays in the same position or moves.
If it stays in the same position I would say it's something to do with the lighting or your eyes, if it moves it's the optic.

I've been keeping an eye on this topic as I just received my first PRO last week. When I mounted it and looked through it the dot was solid, no comet or line from 10-4 as described. I wear light reading glasses for the PC and reading, and the next morning after a bit on the PC, I picked it up and looked through it. Horrors, the line was there and the dot had a tail.

Since then I have randomly picked up my rifle and sighted through the PRO when I haven't had my glasses on for a bit and the dot is solid and no lines appear anywhere. If I've spent an hour or more with my glasses on I see a very slight comet effect in the house or outside, natural or artificial light makes no difference. I haven't noticed a line since.

Sounds like a possible scratch on the front lens/coating.  Rock Sarge's link above is actually to Aimpoint's Customer Service Group which is good to go.
