Overview

The Aimpoint PRO (Patrol Rifle Optic) was specifically designed to meet the needs of law enforcement patrol officers who need Aimpoint reliability without the premium pricing of military-spec micro red dots. Introduced in 2011, the PRO quickly became the go-to recommendation for agencies operating on municipal budgets, delivering the same legendary durability and optical clarity that made Aimpoint famous at approximately half the cost of the CompM4.

What distinguishes the PRO from budget competitors is its no-compromise approach to core specifications. The 2 MOA red dot provides the ideal balance between precision and rapid target acquisition, visible across 10 brightness settings including 4 night vision compatible levels. The integral QRP2 mount positions the optic at lower 1/3 co-witness height and features a quick-release lever for tool-free installation, while flip-up lens covers protect the glass during transport and storage without interfering with operation.

Built from forged aluminum alloy with Aimpoint's proprietary hard anodizing process, the PRO is submersible to 150 feet and operates reliably in temperatures from -49°F to 160°F. The ACET power management system delivers 30,000 hours of continuous operation on a single DL1/3N lithium battery—over three years of always-on readiness. For departments and civilians seeking proven Aimpoint reliability at an accessible price, the PRO delivers professional-grade performance that has become the standard for patrol rifles nationwide.
