Simple question: What is the longest shot you have made with your Aimpoint?
"The secret to happiness is freedom, and the secret to freedom is courage." - Thucydides, c. 410 BC
AR = 500yds (Range 305 at Quantico), 4MOA Aimpoint M2 on my 10.3" LMT SBR suppressed and it took me 5-6 shots to hit a 14" steel plate with a 55gr XM193 round. Talk about some serious Tennessee elevation!
AK = About 135yds on a 9x12" plate with a forward mounted 2MOA Aimpoint C3 on my Arsenal SLR106FR in 3 seconds with the safety on (using American Eagle 55gr) from a low ready at the Vickers AK class.![]()

200 yards, Aimpoint ML3 on a Colt 6933 (11.5" "pencil" barrel) on an 8" steel from prone using the magazine as a monopod firing XM193. Accurate enough to call my misses when I did something wrong.
800M, on a military pop-up range from prone. The magnifier is very helpful out past a couple hundred meters, but even with it the far shots were
unreliable.
200yds. 1/2 IPSC target @ South Hill Range with mixed results in failing light.
One of the primary reasons I opted for a Short Dot.
500 and 800 meters, eh? How many shots did it take to get the proper "hold-over"?

Can we answer if we use non-Aimpoint red dots?
(I can hit an IPSC metric target with mostly As and a few Cs from 240 yards with my EoTech and I used to do it with an old Tasco PDP5CMP before it died).
250yds at a 12" steel square are the only measured shots Ive taken with an ML2 on a 14.5 carbine and a 2 moa ML3 on a 16" mid.
I dont count rock twacking for fun in the desert, even though that has been at longer ranges.
NOT in training for combat deployment.
I still use Aimpoints with the 4MOA dot, but after seeing the failure rate nearing sunset with some pretty good shooters in prone, I decided there had to be "something better".
With the TA31F, I rang it easily in LESS light than we shot the walk-back in, and it's really the one thing I point back to as sealing the deal on a 1-4x for me.
