POTD: The Aimpoint Duty RDS MR - Multi-Reticle Red Dot
It’s time for TFB’s Photo Of The Day and a series of extremely fresh images of the new Aimpoint Duty RDS MR multi-reticle red dot. This red dot sight was literally delivered to me earlier today, and I removed the current setup (an Aimpoint Comp M5b 2 MOA) from my B&T APC9. The Aimpoint Duty RDS MR runs a 2 MOA dot and or a 65 MOA circle. I begged for Aimpoint to send me a 3x Magnifier as well, and the wish was fulfilled, and I look forward to trying them together. First, time for some unboxing. If anyone cares, this is probably Aimpoint's best box ever, with a Police-blue interior.
The B&T APC9 runs a B&T CBQ suppressor with a 3 lug attachment system. It looks better than it performs, due to its short appearance. The front grip is 3D printed.
So, what does the reticle look like? I tried the combination of the 2 MOA red dot and 65 MOA Circle first, and was pleasantly surprised. The illumination is very even, and to my surprise, the images came out quite well.
I’m probably not going to be using the 65 MOA circle only too much, but there’s nothing wrong with how it looks.
The 2 MOA red dot is harder to catch a good image of, but it works as advertised.
If there is rail, there is love. The Aimpoint Comp M5b and the Duty MR side-by-side.
Stay tuned as we test this setup, including the 3x Magnifier and perhaps a Pulsar thermal front attachment.

I'm going to throw it into the lake tomorrow. How deep and for how long?
It needs to be tested properly.
Specs: "Submersible to 80 feet (25 meters)" - however my lake isn't that deep.
