Aimpoint Comp M3 w/ LaRue Tactical Mount

(STANDARD MOUNT SHOWN)

When police and armed forces personnel are on duty, they need their equipment to handle just about any situation, anytime, anywhere. That's why Aimpoint created the CompM3, a revolutionary sight that offers the highest standard available for sight systems technology.
Incorporating over 30 years of Aimpoint's internationally recognized design innovations; the CompM3 features our latest technology and is even more rugged than Aimpoint's other sights. Featuring our revolutionary Advanced Circuit Efficiency Technology (ACET) that gives the sight unparalleled battery life and ease of use, the CompM3 works with any generation of night vision device (NVD). Built primarily for armed forces and police use to hold up under the roughest physical handling and most severe weather conditions, the CompM3 is also ideal for hunters and sport shooters.

The CompM3 comes with a replaceable, outer black rubber cover, which protects it from scratching and adds an additional stealth factor. The outer cover is also available in Dark Earth Brown... perfect camo for use in the desert and in the jungle. Click here for more info on the covers.

My objective lens is a little bit inclined!

This is not a broken sight! The front lens is a little bit inclined due to the fact the diode is not located in the center of the sight but it might be located either in the roof part or the lower part of the sight depending on the model. The lens and the diode are in line with one and other.

The dot in my Aimpoint sight doesn't look round. Is it defective?

If your dot does not appear to be perfectly round, the distortion is probably caused by the way that your eye perceives the dot, rather than by some mechanical defect. Due to differences in the lenses in different individuals' eyes, round objects that subtend areas near 3 minutes of angle may appear distorted in a variety of ways depending on the individual and other environmental influences. Inexpensive red dot sights sometimes have manufacturing defects that can cause the dot to be an odd shape.

A simple test that can be easily performed will allow you to determine the cause of the apparent distortion:

Turn the sight on and look through as you normally would. (This test is easiest when the sight is not mounted on a firearm, but can be performed with the sight mounted as well. Just make sure that the firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction.)

While continuing to look through the sight, roll the sight on its optical axis.

If the dot's irregularities seem to revolve around the center of the dot like the spokes of a wheel, there is a mechanical defect causing the distortion.

If the dot does not roll with the sight, the distortion is caused in the way your eye perceives the dot. This is not to say that you don't have good vision. You can see clearly and still see a distortion in objects this small.

This effect is less pronounced in sights with larger dots. More people will see the dot in a sight with a 10 minute-of-angle dot as being perfectly round than will be able to see a 3 MOA dot as round.

Your Rating:

Both the Aimpoint Comp M3 (2MOA) and the LT150 lever mount are exceptional. The Larue mount is simple to install and remove. This optic and mount are on my patrol rifle (ar15). So far the mount is as rock solid as it was when first installed. Having the extra battery storage on the bottom of the mount is an exceptional idea since the battery used in this optic is so small. You don't have to worry about looking for a spare battery in your patrol bag or your load bearing equipment.
