ONLY POST IF YOU OWN - OR HAVE OWNED - AN AIMPOINT
If so, what model? COMP ML2 What revision is it, or what year did you buy it? about 2004 DID IT HAVE PROBLEMS? If so, describe them Nope, still have it, and after having it on about 6 different weapons, still works like a champ. It's on my crossbow right now. I am looking for another new ML2 after having been disappointed with several commercial-grade red dots. I'm sticking with Aimpoint on my next one. |

Comp M2. About 3 or 4 years. No problems at all. |

2010 Comp M2 in Larue LT129: no problems. Sold it when my SBR went on a diet.
2011 R1, Daniel Defense mount: Perfect. On my 10.5 2008: Paid $25 for an Aimpoint 2000 from a buddy of mine. Runs on a CR123. Constant on equivalent to setting 7 on my R1 for almost 8 months now. The battery is 3 years old... Has been shot on my 10.5" SBR, 12" 6.8, a 9mm CX4, and 7.5" 22 SBR upper. Currently resides on the CX4. LOVE it. |

I have a M3, C3, and a Department Issued M2. All have been turned turned on since receiving them and are still running 3, 2 and 1 year later in the order posted.
I have no issues to report and do not expect any. Their customer service is top notch and they go out of the way to help those who own or use their sights. |

CompM bought around '94 or so. The on/off switch , brightness control started going full bright, then lowest dim setting by just touching the back of the on/off control. If you try to adjust the brightness, you might get any setting but the one you want.
It's in Sweden getting repaired now. Sent back in early Oct. Should be hearing back any time now. |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

I have two Aimpoints: An ML3 that I've had for maybe 3 years. I've never had a problem with it and I've never changed the battery. It's been run in two classes.
I bought an H-1 almost exactly a year ago (might have been a black friday purchase) that has yet to see a class but I've not had any problems with it over the couple thousand rounds I've put through the BCM it sits on since I bought it. It's also never been turned off and I haven't replaced the battery. |

Aimpoint Comp C [ i think, it's blue under the paint]
I bought it used off the EE a few years ago zero problems, I run it on my AR even though it has a big dot, it works great within 100 yards, past that it covers the target. |

I own 2 Aimpoints, bought a well used Comp m68 that still works fine after a few years of my use. Bought a new T1 last year that works perfectly, as well it should.
I wish my older (well) used Aimpoint could tell me what action it saw for years before I bought it. |

Used a IIRC CompM2 (the original M68) in Iraq for 7 months, never lost zero after being brutalized constantly bounced off trucks, dropped, cold, hot, hit on doorways etc). No problems
Used an M4 last tour on a SAW, never lost zero, same brutalizations for 12 months. No problems. Have had an Aimpoint Pro on my police patrol carbine for over two years. Never loses zero, have changed batteries once, banged around in a patrol car trunk in a soft case for years, soaked for 8-12 hours in pouring rain on big crimes scenes . No problems. Reliability, thy name is Aimpoint. |

T1 purchased 2009 = No Problems
H1 purchased 2010 = No Problems CompM2 purchased 2013 = No Problems I will say however that the M68 (M2) I was issued in 2002 was damaged in Iraq and became inoperable as the prism shifted in the tube. It still turned on, and what not, but was impossible to zero. Even with the windage and elevation maxed out, it was still over 10 inches off the mark when zeroing at 25 meters. Really can't mark that as a ding against the optic however. |

Shooting a gun is like being intimate with a woman. First, you inspect it to make sure it's clean. Then you grab it on the butt and jam the magazine in. If it doesn't fit, make it.
