Aimpoint® and Larry
“My first introduction to the Aimpoint brand was in the late 1980’s when I finished Delta Force Operator training and was assigned to A squadron in Delta. Several assaulters were using the Aimpoint 2000 optics mounted on their CAR-15 rifles for use in close quarters battle. From that point to this day my appreciation for what Aimpoint brings to the fight has never changed – ruggedness and reliability that you can bet your life on.”
