Army Awards Aimpoint Contract for 565,783 Sights

Aimpoint wants everyone to know about the July 2009 US Army contract award for  565,783 M68 Close Combat Optics. The contract is for $171 million worth of Aimpoint CompM4s sights. End-to-end, that’s 21.5 miles of sights. So, if they could float, you could form a chain of CompM4s’ from France to England.

The 2 minute-of-angle, unmagnified, red-dot sight runs for up to 8 years on a AA battery and has 7 night vision compatible settings and 9 daylight settings. This award will push the number of Aimpoints in use by the US military to more than 1.25 million.
