Looks like some kind of old, foreign (German, Russian?) Aimpoint, but I'm just guessing. What do you see when you turn it on? Red dot, crosshairs, Elvis?

Looks like the Aimpoint that the Swedes use.

Not an MPSII. Was made for a foreign mil. Battery is not replaceable. Shims on BUIS is to adjust POA/POI. Standard red dot reticule.
Well made like the rest of them. |

Midway was selling them a couple months back, but I can't for the life of me remember the model name.

Midway still has them up... however they are sold out and looks to have been a limited offer. Sounds like they had replacable batteries but only at the Aimpoint factory. For $600 bucks, I think I rather get a Comp M4...

Doosky-dorfy-dooty-doo (sorry, that's the only Swedish I know
 ) I guess my question is......why would anybody buy a $600.00 red-dot scope with an unserviceable battery? Kinda like Apple....Why would you buy a phone/MP3 player/I-Pad that you have to send back when the battery takes a dump? My first (and last Apple crap) I-Pod lasted 4 months before the battery wouldn't hold a charge.
Just seems kinda stupid to me. |

Thought we would post the official reply from the Aimpoijnt Mil. Director about this sight.
"It is the Aimpoint CompCS sight with 2 MOA dot that was designed for the Swedish Military for use on the FN AK5. It has a 10 year Lithium battery that can be replaced by the factory. The Swedish Military spec the battery that way. It is essentially the "older" brother to the CompM4/M4S series of sights. Elevation adjustment is external to the sight and will lock once desired elevation is achieved. The flip cover has the built in ARD/Killflash. These were over runs from the Swedish military order and once Midway has sold them all that is all there will be. These sights will work well on HK416, P415, P308, or any rifle with a rail system that sits higher than the standard AR." Hope this helps. Vic |

Otherwise, as has been pointed out, just get a Comp M4 or M4s. And then some buyers might be attracted by the "cool" factor of having an unusual Aimpoint. Whatever they want... |
