Aimpoint has launched a new cheaper option for he AR15/M4 family.

Press Release:

Chantilly, VA, October 20, 2014 – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader
in electronic red dot sighting technology, has announced the introduction of a new
sight designed specifically for modern sporting rifles such as the AR-15. This new
product, known as the Aimpoint Carbine Optic (ACO), expands upon the company’s
already proven designs and focuses these features into a high quality, entry priced
optic.
This new sight was developed with the modern sporting rifle owner in mind, and
the ACO is ready to mount and shoot directly out of the box. A full suite of branded
accessories, such as front and rear flip covers, an anti-reflection filter, and spare
battery holders are available from dealers, and allow users to customize the sight to
fit their specific requirements. The ACO pairs a 30mm aluminum alloy sight tube with
an extremely rugged fixed height mount designed to provide absolute co-witness
with AR-15 backup iron sights. A two minute of angle (2 MOA) red dot is utilized to
allow maximum target acquisition speed and accuracy at all distances. The ACO is
completely waterproof, and offers one year of constant-on use from a single 1/3N
battery.
“The Aimpoint Carbine Optic is the smart choice for today’s modern sporting rifle
owner,” said Brian Lisankie, President of Aimpoint Inc. “By choosing this optic,
shooters get a premium Aimpoint sight at an extremely friendly price point. If you
own an AR-15 rifle, the ACO is exactly what you need to complete the package.”
The Aimpoint Carbine Optic has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $393,
and will be available from Aimpoint dealers in mid-to late October. For more
