Last time the Aimpoint Pro was in stock I missed it but I was just able to order one thanks to the in stock email notification.
BRYAN FREAKIN ROCKS! Can't wait to get it. |

Quoted: Do these come with a mount? Which mount works best? Yes, that's a strong part of the appeal of an Aimpoint PRO - it comes with the mount. Now, the height of the mount is... interesting. Not quite 1/3 lower but certainly not absolute co-witness. I ended up raising it with an ARMS #74 spacer... and an end mill.  Maybe you can find a more appropriate spacer than I could, I just decided to use what I had and let the chips fly. It works fine now though. |

Just found this on Aimpoints website on the PRO page: The modular QRP2 mount includes a removable spacer that indexes the sight at the optimal height for co-witness with the standard iron sights on AR15/M16/M4 Carbine style weapons. This spacer can be removed to enable the use of the sight on police shotguns or sub-machineguns. The QRP2 mount also incorporates a torque-limiting twist knob that provides the optimal level of pressure on the rail while completely eliminating the possibility of over-tightening
