[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is my Aimpoint normal?

I've been playing with my newly acquired ML2 and noticed a red reflection at some angles. The pic below was taken while the unit was off, but it happens when it's on too. Is this normal???

Yes, it's normal. It usually only occurs when there is light behind you getting into the optic. You're seeing reflections off the lens that reflects the light from the LED back to your eye.

Yeah, thats normal. I sent back two to SWFA before I relized that was normal. Unfortunately, backlighting happens a lot. It is about the only complaint I have w/ my Aimpoint. -Justin

The reflection off my face is exactly why I don't mount it out on the bbl. It is too distracting.

I also found it a little distracting, but now that I know it's not broken, maybe it won't bother me as much.
