Aimpoint is a manufacturing company founded in 1974. [1] Their primary products are reflector (or reflex) sights, specifically the red dot sight sub-type. In 1975 they introduced their first product, [2] the "Aimpoint Electronic" red dot sight, based on a design by Helsingborg engineer John Arne Ingemund Ekstrand. [3]
The pictured magnifier is flipped in, and is magnifying the view through the sight. [a] A sight magnifier is an optical telescope that can be paired with a non-magnifying optical sight on a weapon to create a telescopic sight. [1] [2] They work with the parallel collimated reticle image produced by red dot sights and holographic weapon sights.

A red dot sight is a common classification [1] for a non-magnifying reflector (or reflex) sight that provides an illuminated red dot to the user as a point of aim. A standard design uses a red light-emitting diode (LED) at the focus of collimating optics , which generates a dot-style illuminated reticle that stays in alignment with the firearm ...
Colt M4 carbine with M68 Close Combat Optic and back-up sight. The CompM2 is a battery-powered, non-magnifying red dot type of reflex sight for firearms manufactured by Aimpoint AB. It was first introduced in the U.S. Armed Forces in 2000, [1] designated as the M68 Close Combat Optic (M68 CCO; NSN: 1240-01-411-1265).
Many reflex sights (e.g. red dot sights) and holographic sights have proprietary mounts. [23] Aimpoint Acro rail: A dovetail rail for attaching a sight via a clamping mechanism, and with a 4 mm [24] wide straight recoil lug groove. The dovetail is approximately 16.5 mm wide, and is radiused so as not to have any sharp edges.
The solution found by ELCAN was to merge a telescopic sight with a red dot sight by using a rotating lens one side at 1× magnification the other in 4× that could be rotated by the turn of a lever. Development was finished in 2006 where it won the bid 9–1 and was adopted as the SU-230/PVS.
The scope base is the attachment interface on the rifle's receiver, onto which the scope rings or scope mount are fixed. Early telescopic sights almost all have the rings that are fastened directly into tapped screw holes on the receiver, hence having no additional scope base other than the receiver top itself.
