New Aimpoint Clone Prototype...

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New Aimpoint Clone Prototype...

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:13:56 AM EDT

I had the pleasure of taking this new piece out for a range session earlier this afternoon, I wanted to come here and write a mini review of it. I know a lot of ARFCOMrs look down on ACOG/Eotec/Aimpoint clones, but this is really worth checking out. For $300 dollars, the quality sets the new bar for future optics.

I took this out to my local outdoor range at 50 and 100yds. It took me about 5 shots to get it to zero. It held steady through about 120rds of fun today. I was plinking steel at 100yds faster than my buddy with his new TA33 Acog.

This piece is a true 1x with a new style of red dot. It sits on a Jarue Practical 1903 Universal mount. The best thing I can say about it is the weight, it is so light, you can't even tell it's there.

My buddy has a state of the art manufacturing center in his spare room, and told me if interest spreads, he will be putting these into production on a limited basis. I told him I would run it by the experts, and see what we can get going. He is planning pricing around 300 bones, give or take as supplies/materials dictate. He's sent 10 over to the sandbox for testing, he wants real world feedback from combat hardened vets.

Contact me if you're interested, he is taking deposits on future orders.

That appears to be about the same quality at the rest of the counterfeits, copies and other frauds perpetrated upon fools.

Nice- that had me laughing......

Put me down for 50.

I'll need killflash on them as well.

The tubes need to be from Charmin and NOT Cottonelle, btw.

Is that the new Crusader Counter Sniper red dot? Looks Good!

Do they come with a cantilever mount, or scope sock, what other color is available

Posted: 6/1/2008 12:18:03 PM EDT

Is that the new South American Chile reticle?

Obvious design ripoff of the CrunchPoint

Too rich for my blood. I don't really need something built so well. I'm just a plinker. I'll have to pass, although it looks real good. I have a suggestion though, you may sell more if the color isn't so shiny. Maybe offer it with a small can of krylon in any color asked for. Pink has been kind of common for the girls.

The reticle is upside down. Obviously a knockoff.

[#22]

Looks like this setup would offer a lower 1/3 co-witness. Any pics from behind?

Posted: 6/1/2008 7:40:45 PM EDT

[#23]

I think I would rather have that instead of the real clones

Are they NVG friendly?

Posted: 6/1/2008 7:51:46 PM EDT

[#24]

Ummmm...... it's not even vaguely round, and the mount is zip ties...

What the fuck, over?

Posted: 6/1/2008 7:55:49 PM EDT

[#25]

Hmmm...

I do like the fact that it's a true 1x.

How's the fit & finish?

Posted: 6/1/2008 8:02:29 PM EDT

[#26]

will it work with the aimpoint clone 3x magnifier????

Zip ties are for high speed-low drag users.

Can you change the reticle color?? thing looks awesome, but i want a blue reticle.

Looks legit -- put me down for 1 when you start mass production

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:17:11 AM EDT

[#31]

Does it come in Coyote Brown??

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:20:32 AM EDT

[#32]

I thought you had it covered in a plastic bag so as to disguise it from other copiers.

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:22:46 AM EDT

[#33]

We need a group buy.

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:24:28 AM EDT

[#34]

Cheap knockoff. The real ones are painted black inside.

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:24:36 AM EDT

This is perfect for desert environments.

I especially like the 'tip to clean' feature.

I've been looking for a precision optic for my Chey Tac, I have a Bounty Paper towel body... what kinda pricing can he get me for custom work???

Maybe your friend would be interested in buying the rights to my product. I don't have the funds to put it into production at this point in time.

Posted: 6/3/2008 9:43:17 PM EDT

[#44]

Is there a GAO number? Is it Milspec?

Edit;

Never mind. I see it's a prototype. Those will take forever to reach the civilian market.

Posted: 6/3/2008 9:54:26 PM EDT

[#45]

Is it back ordered at Sporstsmans Guide yet ?,
But still charged my credit card.

Or did Botach forget to ship it this time.
