Aimpoint is the recognized worldwide leader and innovator of red dot sighting technology. For over 40 years, we have been working closely with experienced hunters and marksmen as well as professional users around the world.
During all these years, we have seen that the Aimpoint electronic red dot sight has revolutionized mid-range to short-range moving target shooting techniques and has become the number one choice for reliability, durability and performance.
Aimpoint® red dot sights are today globally recognized as the fastest, most rugged, and most efficient electronic small arms sighting system in the world.
The Originator of the red dot sight
It all started in 1974, when a Swedish sport shooter and hunter attempted to improve his moving target shooting performance. With the financial help of entrepreneur Gunnar Sandberg, he started exploring ways to improve shooting accuracy. Their goal was simple but ambitious - to create a sighting technology that would allow shooters to acquire their target quickly, and to hit moving targets in all weather and lighting conditions consistently and accurately.
Together they started developing an electronic red dot sight, and in 1975 Aimpoint AB was founded. Later the same year the company’s first red dot sight, the Aimpoint Electronic, was introduced to the market.
In the early 90’s, Law Enforcement and Military users started to understand how the red dot sighting technology could improve the speed and accuracy in their field of operations. In 1997, we signed the first contract with the US Army to deliver 100,000 Aimpoint CompM sights to thir armed forces. Also known as the M68CCO, these sights have been continuously modified and over 1 million units have been delivered to the US Army since then. Nowadays, Aimpoint sights are in service with most NATO countries and numerous police agencies and special teams worldwide.
