Watch for a 'UsedGuns' add in the next couple of days for a 2nd hand Aimpoint for approx. $400 possibly unknown model...ahem!Anyhow, gets talking to one nice old chap/dealer of Aimpoint red dots.
I wont name and shame here as I will be re calling this Aimpoint dealer again today for a chat.
He says they have a used Aimpoint there if I'm interested and that it has both red and green dots.... right
He says they'd take $400 for it. Couldn't tell me the model of it. ummm yeah ok

Looks the same albeit the one he's offering has poorly aligned white lettering that shouldn't be on the battery tube, the battery +- should be on top not bottom on tube and the 'GREEN' dot thing
Just to confirm my suspicions I found some with the white lettering on them for sale with red+green dots etc etc for the princely sum of
< $50 USD

Anyhow sorry to bang on about it but I think he's been had and is unwittingly selling a counterfeit.
I surely wouldn't want any of you or your friends falling for it either.
