Aimpoint C2 Carbine Optic

Aimpoint, Inc. is now distilling the finer points of the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 micro red-dot sight for pistols and putting them into a new sight, the Aimpoint ACRO C-2. Like the ACRO P-2, the new ACRO C-2 is an enclosed-emitter, duty-rated red-dot sight. However, this sight is optimized for carbine or long-gun use. This allows carbine shooters to retain the same compact and lightweight benefits of the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 but take advantage of a smaller 2.5 MOA aiming point, which yields better precision at longer distances.

Aimpoint ACRO C-2 Features:

  • 5-MOA red dot for precision and fast target acquisition
  • Battery life: 50,000 hours (over 5 years) of constant operation with one battery on setting six
  • Battery type: CR2032 battery (battery included)
  • Battery can be quickly changed without removing optic
  • Fully enclosed housing protects all electronic components of the sight from all elements
  • Sealed optical channel protects the optic from rain, mud, sand, or snow
  • 7075-T6 high-strength aluminum, hard-anodized
  • 10 brightness settings: 2 night vision compatible settings and eight daylight settings
  • 1X (non-magnifying) operationally parallax free optic
  • Submersible to 15 feet (5 meters)
  • Temperature span -49 to +160 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Weight: 2.1 ounces (sight only)
  • Length: 1.9 inches
  • Width: 1.3 inches
  • Height: 1.2 inches

The new Aimpoint ACRO C-2 micro red-dot sight has a starting retail price of $599. This unit uses the original Aimpoint ACRO P series footprint or mounting standard, and Aimpoint is also shipping the optic with a standard-height Picatinny ACRO mount. Customers can choose a mount manufactured by Reptilia, B&T or Scalarworks. Aimpoint ACRO C-2s also include front and rear flip up lens covers, T10 Torx Aimpoint battery cap combination tool and a CR2032 battery.
