Aimpoint PRO Patrol Rifle Optic Review

[@jonnytestnj2668]

I just picked one of these up from optics planet for $388. I'm so friggin excited!

[@dunkanator4369]

jonnytestnj i got it on craigs for 300 😀

[@jonbassett8023]

got two on Ebay for $250.00 each..)

[@brentsaylor1725]

@@jonbassett8023 I would check those serial numbers with Aimpoint.

[@gmako74]

Brent Saylor lol! Exactly

[@Masta_E]

Got a pro today and a larue cantilever is on the way! I've only had primary arms micro dots so I'm excited to have a truly solid optic.

[@Yeoman7]

My first red dot was the P.R.O. ,love it ,one can't go wrong with this sight.

[@proguncanada]

I ordered one from Questar in November and I'm still waiting on it coming in. Luckily I ordered it when it was $499 and now they've jacked the price up to $715. Can't wait to try it out on my AR for 3 gun.

[@brywong93]

What do you think of the Aimpoint Pro vs the CompM4?

[@robertdzm]

Can I use this aimpoint for M47 calliber 8x57mm. Would it be ok will the dot stay in place with the recoil. Is there any other similar to reccomend for M47? Thanks, excellent video. Well done.

[@tactinot8458]

Im a big fan of my micro, but I still think Vortex gives you the best bang for the buck. I've always liked the look of this optic. great video, keep it up

[@michaelolszta2571]

I'm curious about how far out one can reach using this type of optic. I like the challenge of using peep sights but my eyes are not what they once were. Is this optic one that could be used for shots as far as 300 to 400 yards (meters) ? I watched Larry Vickers use one of the Aimpoints to reach out to 600 meters but he had a spotter. I won't have that luxury. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

[@fester5568]

Great job guys. I look forward to your videos. I got one of those bad boys last year to run on an AR and am equally impressed. I am a Vortex fan boy, but the SPARC II or Strikefire aren't in the same ballpark(they area great value for what they are). If you want a battle proven optic without draining you play funds Aimpoint PRO is a definite go.

[@Mr.N89]

Just out of curiosity. At 6:36 it looks like you are using your Daniel Defence M4V5 5.56. Even if you are using a mag made for a pistol, how do you shoot off 23 rounds legally in Canada. My mistake if i miscounted the shells ejecting. Trust me i'm not bashing or nitpicking. I would just love to know if I could somehow legally do this. Awesome reviews by the way!

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Daniel Defense M4A1, but it has a 22 conversion in it, so its not limited to 5 rounds.

[@Mr.N89]

Awesome, what a great idea! Thank you for the reply!

[@Landlord_Tipper]

Hey kind of off topic, But what color is the AR at 4:41? Is that just the DD mil spec + or something else?

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Correct. Mil Spec + DDM4A1

[@thedego22]

i got mine from Optics Planet for about $408.00 shipped.

[@BigGem22]

Is it IR?

[@kawythowy867]

I just got one today from LAPG 20% off delivered for $349.56. This is my second one. I’m In the process of sending my trijicon MRO which was totally disappointing. Glass was blueish green and not a true 1x magnification. Threw my eye off bad. This optic is the real deal.

[@jsimon2580]

Got the same deal! you must subscribe to gundeals on reddit lol

[@shkotayd9749]

Guilty of just liking immediately! You guys do great videos! Can you guys link Canadian retailers in MB or ON?

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Haha thanks for the like! I'm not quite sure what you mean by link other business?

[@shkotayd9749]

***** Yah, Wolverine or Ammosource, etc. I can google, but hoping others read the comment. OR you can post in Description?

[@shkotayd9749]

+Canadian Firearms Review Oh, and ADM mount link not working >.

[@CanFirearmsReview]

lol yea I should have done that before publishing!

[@CanFirearmsReview]

+Shkotay D Got ya, I have added in the description. Thanks

[@morgansavory7299]

Is the mount it comes with an absolute co witness?

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Yes it is

[@FishKepr]

+Aloha Snackbar No, with the factory QRP2 mount and riser insert, the dot is slightly higher than absolute, but not quite a lower 1/3rd either. I really like where it is actually.

[@WVMountaineer]

As i always say “you’re not buying the box” 😉

[@regsparkes6507]

I like the reviews that you guys do, and mostly I agree with your findings,..BUT, do you really think the Aimpoint sights are that much better than what Vortex offers ? I think this constant 'rip off' because of our weaker Canadian dollar is sometimes getting out of hand. I'll put my Vortex Sparc II and the Vortex Strikefire II up against this Aimpoint Pro any time. These two Vortex sights are less than half of what this Aimpoint sample costs, and the Vortex sights I mentioned include shipping costs in their prices. I tell you what,...let's keep this friendly, and do a review on the Vortex sights and compare. Cheers !

[@CanFirearmsReview]

They are more expensive but in my opinion they are 100 percent worth it. Nathan and I have both owned vortex reflex sights. I had a strike fire and he had a spark. We both had issues, mine even catastrophicaly would '"sometimes " turn on due to wiring in the switch coming loose. The aimpoint is literally a sight that will outlast the gun, and I most definitely can't say that about the two vortex I had. The three year battery life is just insane. Peace of mind to me is worth the extra money.

[@jarvy251]

+Reg Sparkes The battery life alone makes it worth it. Advertised at 3 years, I kept the battery it came with in for about 4 years and it was still going when I preemptively replaced it. I also had the ADM mount, that QD lever was excellent.

[@theCANaDiAN1987]

My Vortex Sparc had issues after very little use. The brightness buttons sometimes would stop working and also the battery would drain even with the sight turned off. Both my Aimpoints, PRO and H1 are still on their original batteries and running strong after owning for at least 2 years

[@regsparkes6507]

+theCANaDiAN1987 O.K. I'll bow to three replies to tell me I should have another look. My Vortex sights have not yet had any problems,..but then again, I have only had the SPARC for less than 4 months. I still have a hard time coming to grips with a price in excess of $600.00, when I know that it's an inflated dollar valuation. However I am not in the money markets, but I do like the shooting hobby. So we'll see.

[@billdanosky]

Vortex = Chinese-made, future landfill. Aimpoint is made in Sweden, except the glass, which is outsourced from Denmark. You can take your Aimpoint to doomsday and back.

[@InternetSupervillain]

600 for a dot? Shit... Congrats on buying urs for that price but I think I'll be getting a Vortex Sparc 2 for either my Type 81 or Vz 58 (haven't decided on the rifle yet). Thx for the vid.

[@patrickirish9427]

It is an aimpoint, buy once, cry once. Vortex is marketed well but doesn't perform well.

[@McCouchsky]

Does this magnify at all?

[@warfighter5562]

Great job with the video guys!!

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Thanks!

[@edhollis3]

Will this optic fit on 10mm glockzilla? 10 mm ported long barrel

[@larrygauthier3446]

Very helpful informative video.

[@troycarter30]

Love mine

[@djmysticalone321]

No need to change the mount

[@gunenthusiast9201]

Nice vid

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Thanks!

Pitter patter let’s get at ‘er

[@gearhigher2027]

EH?...Good JOB!

[@marksmith6435]

Who cares about the box. It is in foam to protect it. Hell sig can sell me pistols in a cardboard box if they want to sell them cheaper.

[@mikedimond8816]

If you have a gun to Mount it on in Canada... they took away all your firearms already

[@jacquescarpentier6259]

i just found my next optic for my AR thanks to your video ... Thank you ... i love all your videos ... !!!

"I don't plan on using it and getting shot back at." Don't fucking ever get near a rifle. Are we done here?

[@CanFirearmsReview]

+1683clifton as in this is a rifle for the range... as in I live in Canada and its illegal to shoot someone. Get your head straight OK?

[@1683clifton]

Sounds logical. good luck buddy.
