Like all of the Aimpoint products, I have had nothing but great luck with the ACRO sight, both with the optical quality of the dot and with the overall longevity & reliability of the sight.

 

After using 20, 15 and 10 MOA dots for many years, I actually prefer the size of the 3.5 MOA ACRO and 4 MOA Micro dots. For me, they are just as easy to acquire from the draw & during transitions. The smaller dot makes the plates look bigger & gives more precision for accurate shots.

Nice.  How many rounds do you have on that optic and any double dot issues when pointed into the sun?

I probably have over 10-15k rounds through this particular sight. On some of my MIcros, I have over 100k without any failures.

 

I have NEVER had an issue in an ACTUAL shooting situation where I have experienced a multiple reflected/refracted dot sight picture. That being said, I can INTENTIONALLY create an extreme case and point it toward & into the sun and induce ghost dots. As mentioned, I have never experienced conditions where this has actually happened during practice or a match.

[Whoops!]

Sig came through and replaced mine at no charge to me, just received it today.  Great customer service on their part.

What was the turn around time from sending it in to receiving the new unit ?

[Dazhi]

I have used many dots.  Sig has the longest turnaround time from my experience. 

 

Vortex - usually the same day they receive a defective unit, they send out a new unit.  No need to call or contact anyone.  Just print out a PDF on their website, and send the dot back.  If you do call or contact them, you can also ask for shipping label to Vortex.

 

Trijicon - within 1 week they receive a defective unit, they send out a new one.  No need to call.  Fill out a form on their website, and they will email you shipping label. 

 

Sig - took about 3 weeks to send out a replacement unit.  You have to call their CS number and wait in line.  I called on a Monday and waited 90 min to get to someone.  The lesson is do not call on Mondays.  They email you a shipping label. 

 

None of them charges anything on shipping back the replacement unit to you.
