Couldn't make it work for me. - Aimpoint CompM5 1x18mm Red Dot Sight

Craig's Review of Aimpoint CompM5 1x18mm Red Dot Sight
I wanted to love this optic! I finally forked over the cash for a top of the line Aimpoint and I hated it.
If I turned up the brightness to a usable level I would get a ring of light from the inside body of the tube in low light. This was so distracting that it was unusable. This isn't the wash-out you get from all red dots when they are turned up near max. I went through the other 5 red dots I own and non of them were close to being as bad as the compm5 was.
I ultimately sent it back. I still cant get over how a tier 1 red dot could have so much glare coming from inside the tube. I have no doubt it was rugged and would last many lifetimes. Just not an optic I was happy with.
Pros:
rugged
Cons:
glare around inside the tube
Would Recommend:
No
