Aimpoint PRO Patrol Rifle Optic
Designed with input from a distinguished group of current and former professionals, the Patrol Rifle Optic incorporates many never before seen features to maximize this sight's performance within the challenging conditions faced by modern law enforcement. A hard-anodized 30mm tube was utilized, enclosing a high efficiency circuit that allows the sight to be turned on and left on for up to three years using a single battery.
The Aimpoint PRO Patrol Rifle Optic's front lens utilizes a unique band-pass coating, which allows the sight to be used with all generations of night vision devices. The modular QRP2 mount includes a removable spacer that indexes the sight at the optimal height for co-witness with the standard iron sights on AR15/M16/M4 Carbine style weapons. This spacer can be removed to enable the use of the sight on police shotguns or sub-machine guns. The QRP2 mount for the PRO Optic also incorporates a torque-limiting twist knob that provides the optimal level of pressure on the rail while completely eliminating the possibility of over-tightening. Both the PRO Optic's front and rear lenses are recessed within the sight body to provide protection against impact damage, scratches, and fingerprints.
Flip covers are included to further protect the lenses, and a transparent rear lens cover is utilized allowing the user to engage a target with the lens covers closed in a emergency situation. A two Minute of Angle (2 MOA) red dot is utilized to allow maximum accuracy at all distances and under all environmental conditions.
**As of 2012, Aimpoint has removed their LE/Govt/Security ONLY restriction to the PRO.**

Awesome red dot for the money
If you want a quality red dot sight but don't want to pay $800+ for a T2, the PRO is a good choice. The only drawbacks are size and weight, as you might expect from a full 30mm tube design. If this doesn't bother you, go for a PRO. If it does, the Trijicon MRO is the closest option that I'd consider quality enough to depend on. SKD shipped fast and for $5, so no complaints there, and threw in a cool Multicam Arid cover, which saves me from spray painting the optic (for now).

Product good... SKD not so much
Unhappy. Claimed package was shipped on 16 Feb 2 day priority. Just picked it up today (10 DAYS LATER) at the post office in a large damaged box that let the small Aimpoint box slide around. It works but SDK packaging was bad. Contacted SKD a week after it was "shipped" to find out where it was and was told they will check. Never got back to me. Not a pleasant experience and definitely not people who follow up on their customers.

Not New
I ordered the Aimpoint Brand so I could have confidence knowing the optic would work when I need it. When I opened the box the battery had already been installed and the mounting knob had scratches from being previously mounted to something else. The dot has more flare than I would expect from an Aimpoint optic. I will be replacing this product with a new one from a local store and using this as a backup incase I need a spare down the road. Not confident that this wasn't a defective or returned item.

Killer service and optic.
After going back and forth between a Aimpoint PRO or a Eotech 512, I decided on the Aimpoint. Couldn't find one anywhere. Did a search and saw SKD had them in stock. I'd never heard of SKD, so did some searching on a couple forums, and people loved them. Ordered it late Friday night, and got it Wed. Not bad for $5.00 shipping. I'll be coming back!

Great Optic at a Great Price
I've only had my Aimpoint pro for 2 weeks and so far I'm impressed. I was used to shooting with an EoTech so I wasn't sure if I would like the single red dot. It's just as fast as an EoTech. You don't have to keep the dot perfectly centered in the tube like a cheaper red dot. What you see is what you hit. Zero hasn't shifted at all. I haven't turned it off as I want to see how long the battery will last. So far I have 300 rounds through it and quick target acquisition and accuracy are huge for this optic. I've even shot 10" steel plates out to 200 yards and it's no problem getting hits every time. It feels rock solid when mounted and I'm sure this optic will out live the firearm. Time will tell.

Great gear for the money
Aimpoint makes very highly rated red dot sights in a variety of shapes and styles. I needed to replace an inexpensive ($150) red dot scope on my wife's AR, but was unwilling to spend $800-$1400 on some of Aimpoint's other excellent offerings. The PRO is well made, has a battery life of up to three years, and is obviously a sturdy piece of equipment. It mounted quickly (just watch out for the locking knob - if you turn it too far, it can slip its cam and take a piece out of a finger), and was easy to sight in. Mine only needed a few clicks to the left, and I was done. SKD shipped it quickly, and at a good price. I've shopped with them before, and certainly will again.
