I'm curious if any of the aimpoints, etc are hardened against EMP
anyone know?

I have no idea, but if the aluminum tube could serve as a grounded Faraday cage, then yes. Otherwise, anything inside a gun safe should be OK as the six sided metal casing should discharge the EMP according to my old Physics professor who gave me a funny look when I asked this question..

I can say with great confidence that BUIS are EMP proof...

Really, is that a Big concern.....

Unless you've got your Aimpoint in a Faraday cage you'll be using BUIS, if this is a concern to you go with a Trijicon.
