This came mounted on an AR I picked up recently. I have never used a real Amipoint so I have nothing to compare it to other than pictures online. I can't even find a photo of an Aimpoint in anything other than black. The power\brightness knob is sloppy, but I thought that might be due to age. Anybody seen one like this before?

Chris,

What would you need to see? What would be a tell-tale sign of it being legit or knockoff?

It looks like what you have is a discontinued pistol red dot that was design for the IPSC market. I have one of the current Aimpoint CCO's used by the army, it works well for reflex shooting and lasts a goodly long time on a single AA.

I don't know what kind of batteries yours uses, but it looks like you'd have 7-15 hours of continuous usage at the highest setting. It looks like it also has a 7 moa dot.

Thanks for the input. The red dot is pretty big. Basically covers the street light (the lamp portion) at about 100 yards.

The batteries are ag10 / L1131. It came with 3 but they were flopping around so I tried 4 and it worked fine. I then pried at the spring in the battery case cap so it holds 3 in place nice and snug. Works either way. Without having it in hand I'd say it has more than 5 but not more than 10 brightness settings.
