Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in electronic red dot sighting technology, is now offering new optical mounts to give hunters and sport shooters the same advantages employed by military end users. Recent Aimpoint military contracts including the US Navy’s ECOS-O program, and the US Army’s Sniper Quick Fire Sight (SQFS) program have highlighted the advantages of placing a non-magnified red dot sight onto magnified scopes. This same concept is now being offered to the hunter or sport shooter who wants to add additional speed and performance to their existing magnified optics.
Using an adapter, hunters can now mount an Aimpoint Micro H-1 sight directly onto their magnified scope. The sight allows rapid, both eyes open target acquisition, and allows the hunter to direct their shot using the red dot sight, or quickly transition to the magnified scope for longer distances. The speed and accuracy benefit of this integrated system offers big advantages in performance, while keeping additional size and weight to a minimum. By using a military rail interface, the Micro sight can quickly be removed from the scope mount for use on other firearms.
“Anyone who has hunted with a magnified scope knows that it can be a challenge to get on target quickly, and even harder to engage targets that pop up at close range or one that is on the move.” said Dave Pasienski, Director of Commercial Sales at Aimpoint. “By adding a Micro H-1 sight to the magnified optic, hunters can vastly improve their performance and the capabilities of their scope.”
Aimpoint will offer these mounts in packaged along with both the Micro T-1 and H-1 sights, and the 30mm and 34mm ring adapters will be sold separately as well.
