"Unsurpassed in ruggedness and reliability" that's a pretty bold claim. Looks like everyone is after that Aimpoint market these days. These guys just had a T1 bang a eotech and boom here it is.

Website says it passes MIL-STD environment standards, whatever that means. No MSRP though. Looks interesting.

Don't know anything about these besides that it looks like Aimpoint Micro with a larger FOV.

**JHoward** · 21 January 2015, 19:27

Looks expensive.

Here's a stupid question....

If you're going to make your optic a square.... Why make the lens and FOV a circle?

Probably not made in the US, so maybe not that expensive.

Lots of micro sized red dots coming. No info on battery life?

**caporider** · 22 January 2015, 07:50

Is that a teeny tiny sight channel up top? Huh...

I have to admit, I am a little interested and will try to keep up with further info as it comes out.

Definitely appears to be

It also doesn't look like the sight can sit much lower than shown, so they seem to have gone all-in on an AR-height optic.

ETA:

It's not as small as I thought.

**GOST** · 22 January 2015, 17:10

It doesn't look big in that pic.

**DutyUse** · 22 January 2015, 17:45

Seems like it could be a winner. I like the bigger screen of an Eotech but everything else about an Aimpoint.

I'd imagine this is the same DI the South Koreans use on their Daewoo service rifles. They used to make some decent Meprolight style sights.

I think I've read that also.
