Anybody know of any place that has Aimpoint PROs in stock?  I see Botach is advertising them, but I'd like to order from somewhere else if at all possible.  Can't find them anywhere.  As usual, your help is appreciated.

For what its worth, I just placed 2 separate orders from them over the weekend. They shipped them Monday and I got them Tuesday with no issues whatsoever. I would just call or ask online if the item is in stock. If so, I wouldn't hesitate to place more orders from them.

Palmetto State Armory had them a few days ago.

I have goood experience with Botach, and I would not hesitate to do it again. Right now,  Botach is running a promotion on getting two free items (pen and BUIS). It is free shipping . Not only that it air with two days. Can't ask for more. Others vendors can't match that.  BTW, Botach has live on-line CSR. I was able to chat and have all my questions answered.  I placed my orders 3x and got them all. My aimpoint arrived as promised.  Everyone may have a bad apples, but mine is good. Order with confidence. You wouldn't lose but only gain by getting the free items. Hope this boosts your confidence with Botach.

I placed an order with botach last summer and had no problems whatsoever.

FWIW, I placed an order with Botach for the Aimpoint PRO package last night, and just received shipping notification, so it was obviously physically in stock when my order was processed this morning.

Thanks guys.  Talked to Botach this morning and they were out of stock, so I guess I'll try back later.  I see Palmetto now has them in stock as well, but not the package deal from Botach.

Does the PRO come w/ a mount?
Also, is it compatible with LaRue mounts for other aimpoint optics? m2 etc. I can assume it has similar mounting options.

Is $360 NIB a good price?

Do you need  a picture of a red dot?

And yes, retail is usually $440, and SKD has them for $400.

I got mine from Palmetto for $410 shipped.

I came with a mount and I really liked the way it mounted and how easy it was to attach and reattach it, the only reason I replaced it was I couldnt fit a magnifier

I have been trying to get ahold of Botach to see if they have any in stock but they didn't answer and no one is available on their online CS... Has anyone else tried reaching them today and had any luck?

And I guess no more group buys for this are still open?

Who has them for $360?  I ordered one from Palmetto for $410 and I'm going to be pissed if I could have saved $50.  Palmetto was the only place I could find that had them in stock when I ordered.  Called Botach and they were out.

Yeah becuase the last group buy price I saw was $375... $360 seems a little too good to be true.

botach there was a 15% coupon

Yeah I'm pretty sure that expired on the 2/21.
2/28/2011 11:46:44 PM EDT

Botach had the 15% off coupon but raised their price of the Aimpoint PRO back to $440 before discount while the coupon was active, making the total $375+shipping ($15 cheapest for me)
3/1/2011 5:27:13 AM EDT

Well, UPS says mine will be here tomorrow.  Can't wait.  I'll post pics when I get it and try to get a range report posted within a week or so.  My first big boy optic.  Guess I'll post my PA ML3 clone in the EE.

Yeah, It's $400 now but I spoke with someone from there yesterday and they said that the PRO is backordered for 2-3 weeks.

I could have grabbed one for $360, I would not have thought twice.  Palmetto still has them for $410, with free shipping if anyone is interested.

Just got mine from Botach after being backordered for a week. It's currently $400 w/ free tactical pen and rear BUIS, and if you enter the coupon code "aimpointpro" you get free 2 day air shipping via UPS (make sure you have select the 2-day Air option before clicking "apply"). Not sure how long the coupon is good for but it is still valid as of 1300 Eastern today (3/3/11).

Thanks Tall_Moose_13 !  

I just ordered mine and coupon code worked. This is as of 1700 Central today.  

Great find and thanks again!

Does anyone have an opinion of the free rear BUIS???

Wow.  Didn't see the bad reviews for Botach before placing my order.  

Knew the Aimpoint Pro wasn't in stock based on another post, but did I make a mistake?  

Anyone have positive experiences to put me at ease?  Thanks.

I spent $1000 with Botach last month. Got everything just fine and better than expected. Fast to ship and the items were spotless. Amazing deals too.

I have the Aimpoint PRO with an ARMS #71L-R on one of my rifles. I like it better than the magpul MBUS which was crap.

My only experience with them so far was positive. I was one of those who had their order canceled with the whole Aimpoint Micro T-1 and free Pmags + Aimpoint coupon fiasco. They made it right by calling and offering me the T-1 with a KZ mount for $440 shipped. Two days later I had it and couldn't be happier.

I had that Aimpoint deal saved in my shopping cart, and when they had a 15% off coupon that next day I applied it and they took it. After I sold the PMAG's I got the KZ mount and T1 for $392. Not too shabby.

I got my Aimpoint PRO today from Botach. This was the first time I ordered from them and it went well. I replaced an Eotech EXPS2-0 OPMOD that I originally had on this rifle. I preferred the dot of the Aimpoint over the reticule of the Eotech, not to mention the battery life too.  I think the Eotech and a spare set of LaRue rails are going to go on a Bushmaster I have.

The battery life is 30,000 hours instead of 50,000. I'm not 100% sure if that is the only difference.

They also have different lense coatings, with the PRO having slightly more tinted glass.

I'm having a heck of a time deciding whether I should go ahead with my original plan to buy an ML3 or if I should get a PRO.

Looks like I'm GTG. Received the UPS 2nd Day Air Tracking # and it's on the way.

Pretty good deal at $400 with free air shipping and two bonus items.

Should receive it on Monday. If this goes good, I have no problem placing another order for my Peltor Comtac II's w/Botach!!

WTF! I ordered my PRO on the 3rd from Botach using the free shipping coupon code, it shipped the next day but says it wont be here until the 9th! Defeintely NOT 2 day shipping for me!

I was in the same boat.  I'll just buy a few extra batteries and keep them in my grip, so it won't matter if they die in 3 years instead of 5.  

For the price, and coming with a mount, it's going to be tough to beat the PRO.  I love mine so far.

Looks like Palmetto State Armory has them, nine in stock as of right now, better get them quick I just recieved this email from SKD:

"Unfortunately, we are no longer able to offer the PRO to the general public due to new sales restrictions on this item from Aimpoint.  The PRO is now only available to verified personnel who fall under the following categories: Law Enforcement agencies, Military Units, National Guard, Security companies, Federal agencies, US Government Contractors and their employees.  

Please realize that all of this is determined by the manufacturer, Aimpoint, whose distribution rules we must abide by and we will not answer any requests for purchases of this optic unless you meet the guidelines stated above.  Thank you for your understanding in this matter and we hope we can continue to serve your tactical gear needs in the future.  "

That is funny, earlier today Palmetto sent me an email saying they didn't know when they would get more. Now, they are in stock because I tried to add one to my cart. I did order one from Topnotchtactical and it should ship tomorrow. I bet Palmetto is out of them by sunrise.

Well, I decided to give Botach a chance.  $400 shipped with 2 x 30 round MagPuls and a KZ Scorpion Tactical Pen.

If anything gets goofy, I know my CC company has my back.

I ordered from Botach last night, then I read on here that they were out of stock. I just got off the phone with them. They said they had plenty in stock at this time and it would ship out tomorrow or Monday.

ETA: I think the promo code is now free UPS ground, instead of 2nd day.

ETA2: I just got my shipping notification.
