Just got it and tired it out the 1st time today. It was great sighted it in at 25 yrds (back wall indoor range) and i can put the the one 9mm hole with 15 rounds(on a rest). I was shoot free hand and i was able to get very good grouping i would say it cut the size in half from the standard sights. Now about an inch free hand at 25 yrds.

edit: i asked my girl friend who was reluctant to tell me that it was a replica but after telling her that i dont care that it was and i am glad she saved her money. She told me it was. Oh well i am still happy with it.

I don't have one, but I shot a guy's suppressed AR-15 at an indoor range one day with one, and loved it! He also had a 3x's magnifier. I have a new EOtech 553 that I've never mounted or used, but after using the AIMpoint I kind of wish I got one of those.

Is that a real aimpoint or a clone?

If i had to guess i would say clone since she only paid 125 for it new. But it did come in a real aimpoint box and does have trade marks on it. So i am kink of lost. If it is a clone which i assume it is, it is one of the best ones i have seen. I had one like this off ebay with the white lettering that was made for airsoft and it was crap and would not hold a Zero but this one worked great. The reason i think it is a clone is due to the white lettering i dont think they come that way, but i am unsure. Either way i am happy with it.

Yeah the price and white lettering is a dead giveaway.

Anywho, as long as it holds 0 have fun. Looks good.

That's crazy that people can seel them with someone else's name on them....

I think that's a crime.

I want a aimpoint with the 3X magnifier so badly but I have the wrong job or something...

I think on this clone they bought the copyright from aimpoint to use it on this clone under the condition that it was in white lettering. Because it comes in a factory aimpoint box to and it says that it is rated for any caliber up to 308 and it is submersible to 25 ft. For the money, i might have to buy another one when i get my AR in 223.

I just asked here where she got it and she said at a gun show a while back. She told me that they had acog replicas too for 250. It was a booth with nothing but replica scopes and she can not remember the name of the company. I will have to head out to the local gun shows and see if i can find another one or i might even spring for an acog we will see.

Yes it is an oly upper 11.5" with 5.5" Flash hider. I really like it i almost sold it a while back on the forums but i just could not do it. Never had a problem with it all the people told me how bad Oly was but once i got it i found them sadly mistaken. No problems at all with this rifle.

I love my Aimpoint M2, with 3x Mag... I have tried EoTech's and several other make models of red dots, but this takes the cake...

The mount is one of the clone Aimpoint mounts. I've heard people getting good results from the "clonepoints" but I dont know if I would trust one as a "go to" sight. For the record I have an Aimpoint M2, C3, and an Eotech 551 and 512.
