Same footprint but the sight body is taller so the optical centerline will be higher. Trex arms has detailed info on it.

Forged housing is pretty big deal coming from Aimpoint...
Something I just noticed on the Aimpoint international website is that the Duty RDS is claiming light transmission >85% (greater than sign being a part of Aimpoint's spec). This is a pretty big bump, given that the older optics, such as the ACRO P-2, Micro T-2, CompM5 series, and CompM4 series are all rated for 70%, with the older budget optics, such as the Micro H-2 or the PRO, is rated for 60%.
That being said, upon further review, the >85% light transmission claim only goes as low as 620nm, which is a shorter wavelength red. The duty-oriented optics are all 70% all the way to 900nm, while the budget-y ones are 60% to 700nm. Might mean that the Duty RDS performs less well with active IR illumination, but the spec sheet would suggest that it would do fine with ambient lighting (à la UH-1 Gen2).

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I was using a dept issued rifle (DTI...no shit) with an Aimpoint PRO on it. I turned in the DTI and use my BCM now. I picked up a Duty RDS and I swear this thing is magic! As mentioned above, it works amazingly well with my astigmatism and the glass is very clear.
I did speak with a guy at Aimpoint and brought up the adjusments only being made with Torx head bits and he replied, " We made them that way because we know cops will be using them." I laughed at this because I know what he meant by it.
Anyway, I sighted mine in at 100y and the thing is deadnuts on. My 3 shot groups are one ragged hole.
ya we chuckled about it for a bit.
The only downside I have with the optic right now is lack of QD mounts for it but, I know that will come eventually so it isn't anything to really worry about.
This optic appears to be an interesting budget alternative for someone looking to avoid Chinese-made equipment. Though, admittedly, it lacks many of the features now found in Holosuns. I find it puzzling that there are so few reviews of the Duty RDS. Too boring? It's been out a few months now. Can anyone else with some time using this optic share their opinions?

Copy.
What I have in mind is an Aimpoint Pro without the bulk/weight, 15 year-old technology, and weird proprietary battery. Would you say that about sums up the Duty RDS?
