Aimpoint scopes are designed for use in the real world, and can handle rough treatment in all imaginable weather conditions. In current service with the Military, the Aimpoint red dot sight is 100% parallax free and does not have a critical eye relief. This provides great freedom in locating the sight forward along the length of the gun, and makes it very easy to fit it into a modular system that allows the mounting of several different types of sights on the same gun. This means that the sight can be co-mounted in alignment with night vision devices (NVD) like the PVS-14, for night use, which can be subsequently removed when not required. The quick-release mounts available enable the Aimpoint ML to be provide the basis for a versatile and robust day or night sighting system.
The CompM2 is compatible with all generations of night vision devices but is otherwise identical in construction to the CompML2. At the lowest brightness setting (for night-time use with NVD) there is no need for an "off" position on the switch. No sight on the market can rival the light transmission through an Aimpoint sight in both the visible and IR ranges/spectra. This becomes especially obvious in dim conditions. The CompM2 has 4 NVD settings to give an extremely clear reticle in dark conditions.
The inner tube is suspended in a unique spherical joint - large view, greater (+/- 2.5 meters) adjustment range at 100 meters with repeatable, accurate click adjustments.
Guaranteed submersible to 25 m without tightening the adjustment caps. Tests have been successful down to 100 m.
CompM2 red dot sight can be mounted on almost any type of rifle and with the co-witnessing (applicable to many small calibre weapons) the iron sights are visible through the optical sight as a back-up. There is also a quick-release mount available, allowing the sight to be rapidly detached and remounted without need for re-zeroing to any weapon equipped with a Mil Std 1913 Picatinny rail.
