    First Aimpoint failure

    I own multiple Aimpoints and have been very happy with them, still am. I did have my first failure though, an aimpoint R1 model. Not sure if anyone remembers them but years ago Midway ran a closeout on these for like $299, the catch is they were “silver”, nothing a can of spray paint couldn’t fix. Well, it only works on setting 12 which is almost completely unusable in any condition due to the bloom. I mean, at this point it’s 10 years old, not bad I suppose.

    Aimpoint says the warranty for a personal-use product is at 10 years. Just an FYI.

    I bought one of these back then and wish I bought five more at the price. I bet they will make good on it.

    Aimpoint customer service usually very good. I'll bet they take care of you

    +2 I own an R1 also and the #8 no longer works. Other than that it’s function has been Aimpoint reliable. I wouldn’t expect them to still honor the warranty just hoping the repair/service isn’t cost prohibitive.

    The switch is a weak point on older models, hence why the switch knob are made to be more reliable/durable on the CompM5 models.

    I always wondered if the color was the only difference between the R1 and the H1 models.

    As far as I can remember the only other difference is the R1 doesn’t have the NV settings.

    H1 models didn't/don't, either.
