The Aimpoint CompM4 Red Dot sight is lightweight, versatile and a great addition to your rifle set up. The proven design of CompM4 is soldier-tested and has been used as the standard infantryman’s sight for many NATO military forces including the US. The lenses on this optic offer immense light transmission for a crystal-clear sight picture and the front of the optic is threaded of the use of an anti-reflective device. The CompM4 uses a single AA battery which lasts up to 8 years of continuous use. The highly visible 2 MOA dot has 9 daylight setting, 7 night vision settings, and is compatible with every generation of night vision device.
For its time, when introduced, the Aimpoint CompM4 represented a significant evolution in red-dot sight technology, building upon the success of its predecessor, the CompM2. While the CompM2 was initially adopted by the US Military as the M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO) in 2000, the CompM4 entered service in 2009, marking a new era in tactical optics.
This reflex sight employs a sophisticated LED-based system to project a precise red-dot aiming point. The CompM4 offers 16 brightness settings, with 7 dedicated to night vision compatibility and 9 for daylight use, ensuring optimal visibility across diverse operational environments. Its most notable feature is the extraordinary battery life, with a single AA cell powering the device for up to 8 years of continuous use at setting 7 of 16.
The CompM4's optical system is engineered to be parallax-free at 50 yards, minimizing point-of-aim shift relative to the target. This "parallax-free" design, combined with unlimited eye relief, enhances accuracy and rapid target acquisition in dynamic tactical scenarios. The sight's rugged construction withstands extreme conditions, meeting stringent military durability standards.
In 2009, the US Army selected the CompM4s variant for its M68 CCO program, ordering over 565,000 units. This large-scale adoption underscores the sight's effectiveness and reliability in modern combat operations. The CompM4's clear optics, tough build, and advanced features continue to make it a preferred choice for military, law enforcement, and civilian applications alike.
While an optic from 2009 might sound like an antique, the optics of that decade were groundbreaking, and remain relevant today. Brands like Aimpoint and EOTech pioneered the true 1x point and shoot optic, which today sounds very pedestrian, but was difficult to achieve, and this Aimpoint still is a top performer.
