The Comp M2, an Aimpoint red dot sight, is a battery powered and non magnifying red dot sight that is used for firearms. Launched in the year 2000 in the US military, these red dot sights were used as M68 Close Combat Optic. These are also referred to as M68 Aimpoint red dot sights and are designed to meet the demands of the United States military. The Aimpoint Comp M2 red dot sight is designed in such a way that you can easily use it with M16/M4 family of rifles. As far as the Aimpoint Comp M2 mount is concerned, these devices can be mounted on any weapon that has an upper Picatinny rail.
