Reviews & Ratings for Aimpoint CompM5 1x18mm Red Dot Sight — 18 reviews — Page 1

It's an Aimpoint so you know it's as tough as nails. Just zeroed it in with a UNITY riser and now lives on my Sage Dynamics SOLGW M89. What a beautiful set up this is!!

At this point the name Aimpoint speaks for itself. I got this thing zeroed super easy, and have had zero issues. I’ve been thru 3 carbine classes with it, and it’s been the star of the show every time. This was my first Aimpoint, but not my last.

This is yet another great product form aimpoint. The quality is what you would expect from a top-tier optic company this combined with a scaler works mount is all you need to finish any close range set up. The AAA battery usage wins for much easier to replace batteries and easier to store.

I have a number of red dots and this is by far one of my favorite. Its sleek, solid, crystal clear, and has a much more versatile battery option than many other small red dot units. You really cant go wrong with the CompM5

Perfect fit and look for my MC1sc. It took a couple of minutes to attach. Have not sighted the unit at a range yet but just looking down the sights, it looks like the shot would on target. Get yours from OpticsPlanet for the best price.

Love this red dot. Easy to use, easy to mount, light wait and super reliable. Has an amazing battery life. Have used it in hot summer weather and in single digit cold and never had an issue with it. You really can’t go wrong with an Aimpoint.

I used aimpoints, trijicons and eotechs (military/civilian). They all serve different purposes but this a solid single dot system. people with astigmatism should chose this sight over the eotech because it's a cleaner optic. you will still have a fuzzy dot but the circle on the eotech creates a lot of problems with your vision. I can shoot 300-400 meter targets without the 6x optic. if you want a real clean sight go with the vcogs since they use a prism instead of a projected dot.

Aimpoint Quality that is Second to None. Unbelievable Clarity and Crispness. Built extremely rugged. Should take abuse for many years to come. Battery life is phenomenal. This is definitely the Cream of the Crop.

This was a splurge for a no expense spared Dream Gun I’m putting together. Clear glass, no noticeable parralax butvim sure some exists if tested closer, but that’s a trade off I’ll take over an eotech for the 5yr battery life, so I can slays have it on ready to go. My only critique is this, many competitors that while lacking the track record for reliability, have various reticle options, such as circle dots, bdc, cheveron vs a 2moa for a more precise point when zeroing. I love that Aimpoint has great track record n keeps things as simply as possible to make them less prone to failure, however, it’s time Aimpoint steps up their game. When a company like Holosun can come out with a imitation micro, with red or green circle dot, for under 250$ they has very glass w/o a tint, and are able to buy 3-4 of them vs one comp m5, as much as I love this red dot& as much as I choose to drop the cash Bc this will be on a primary home defense pistol, chances are what 9/10 recreational shoots use their red dots for, they can get more features for a fraction of the price. I love this and would recommend it for your 1-2 weapons that may one day be used to protect the life of upubor your loved ones. If Aimpoint would just come out with a micro, or the pro with a circle for option, to have the nice retocleAND the great battery life they would never be able to keep em in stock. Bc right now, for serious use, have to choose between poor battery life of eotech for reticle n little to no parralax,...

The Aimpoint CompM5 on arrival appeared sound and well packaged; yet when I turned it on, instead of a nice “red dot” I had a red “star burst” aiming point. It has been returned. This appearance occurred at all power levels. Aimpoint has a good reputation. Perhaps since this is a new product from them, this particular one may have slipped through their quality control process.
