Reviews & Ratings for Aimpoint Comp C3 2 MOA Red Dot Scope w/ FREE Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier — 12 reviews — Page 1

I purchased this to mount to a Browning Buckmark for a 22 bullseye league and later may try it on a Ruger Super Redhawk in 44 mag for deer hunting. It worked very well for this purpose. The red-dot added noticeable weight to the pistol, but since the pistol was light to begin with it wasnt an issue (may be a different story for the heavy revolver). If you want to mount it to a heavier pistol or if weigh is a concern, Aimpoint makes a micro version that is much lighter and may be worth considering. I cant imagine the extra weight would be an issue mounted to a rifle or shotgun. I like this red-dot over other ones Ive used because parallax isnt a problem with Aimpoint. A slight shift of you head wont significantly change the point of impact (I have not tested this extensively to confirm Aimpoints claim of zero parallax, but just from using it in normal target shooting situations, parallax does not seem to be a problem). The long battery life is a plus too. Ive seen other people at the range that had to leave the range without firing a shot because the last time they used their pistol, they left their red-dots on. This could be solved by having extra batteries in the case, though. Still, the 5 year battery life is nice. I have the 2 MOA model which is great for bullseye, but if youre shooting a sport with multiple targets or going to use it for hunting, I think the 4 MOA dot would be quicker to find in the sight and get on target. Overall, a very high quality red-dot...

Everyone seems to always get an aftermarket mount for their Aimpoint, so I had no idea that this would come with a 30mm ring. Pleasant surprise. Also, this was my first Aimpoint. I've acquired more since then.
Pros: This sight is very easy to use with both eyes open.
Cons: The dot may flare in your vision, depending on your eyes.

I bought this red dot sight for my rifle and have experienced no problems in nearly 1,000 rounds of shooting. I bought this sight because I wanted the best value Aimpoint optic. With the right mount, this sight can be used on almost any type of firearm. Buy this Aimpoint model if you just want the best red dot sight but don't need night vision or deep water submersion capability.
Pros: This sight is very easy to use.
Cons: I did not know this comes with its own mount.

I bought this red dot sight for my rifle, and I have experienced no problems in nearly 1,000 rounds of shooting. I bought this model because I wanted an Aimpoint optic but, as a competitive shooter, I have no need for deep-water submersion. This sight is unquestionably durable, light-weight, and it is compatible with many different mounting options. The appropriate brightness setting for nighttime may be too low for daylight, and, conversely, the appropriate daylight brightness setting may be too bright for the night, but this is easily adjusted with the knob on the sight. It has a distinct click for each setting transition.
Pros: made in Sweden
Cons: none!

this is the best value in red dot sights. mount it on any firearm, and you will love it. light-weight, highly versatile, easy to use- it's the perfect addition to any defensive or sporting firearm.
Pros: made in Sweden
Cons: none!

The dot gets very bright, but most of the time I run it on 6 or 7 out of 10. Precise dot, shot 1/2 size silhouettes out at 200 yards no problem. The adjustments are consistent and it holds zero though extensive firing.
Pros: Long battery life, durability
Cons: No night vision mode, crummy lense covers

Fired about 500 rounds so far with this sight. Holds zero perfectly. I am in love with my new aimpoint c3. If you don't need NV buy it...
Pros: Battery life, crisp dot, durability
Cons: None

The optics have a defect. It looks like frost creeping up from the bottom of the lens, not that big of a problem but when your paying this kind of money for top of the line gear it's not good.
Pros: crisp dot, solid construction
Cons: dot is hardly visible until four clicks in, defect in glass.

When it comes to a quality Aimpoint sight, you can't beat $400 dollars. This is the exact same thing as the CompM3 that I used in Iraq except for lacking Night Vision Settings.But I'm guessing you don't need NV capabilities, so buy this. I am 100% satisfied and it even came with a mount, which I wasn't expecting. The only thing I suggest is that you buy the flip covers for lens protection.
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

I was in need of another red dot sight and having looked at aimpoint before included them as a top contender. In considering all the requirements I would have of this purchase, the aimpoint kept looking to be the answer. Finally decided to buy the aimpoint and after two sessions at the range with it, am extremely satisfied with its performance. Besides satisfying my requirements, it provided a mounting versatility with the single sight mount ring not available with double ring mount or longer single mount QD systems. The quality and performance of this Swedish manufactured sight will probably lead me to purchase another and to highly recommend this product to those looking for a superior product.
Pros: everything
Cons: no choice of reticle
