Aimpoint PRO
I just received an Aimpoint PRO to run on my MP15. I bought it online from Amazon. Inside a standard Amazon box came an Aimpoint box which is shrink wrapped in clear plastic and has a red paper seal (under the plastic) at one end of the box's lid which states "KENZIES OPTICS VOID IF BROKEN". I've owned several Aimpoints but I've not encountered this packaging. Does this sound kosher? Cheers, Bill

Lots of knockoffs on Amazon, Howard Leight muffs were one of them, there's a utube video of the fake ones.

I avoid Amazon for weapon optics and lights. It's an excrement shoot whether you will get the real thing or a cheap knockoff.
Use a legitimate gun store, in person or online. Sometimes they will even match Amazon prices if you ask.

I’ve purchased several Aimpoint PRO’s and a Trijicon ACOG from LA Police Gear. Good prices for the real deal and they have sales relatively often too.

Same problem with Duracell batteries, and other stuff as well. Google Amazon fakes.

Aimpoint has a good mil/leo discount program. You're guaranteed to get an authentic one from them.

I bought one in late June from Amazon, confirmed with an email to Aimpoint that the serial number I provided was legit. Got it for $375 by getting an Amazon/Chase credit card. Paid it off immediately.

I always make sure that it's sold and shipped by Amazon. Not a third party. You do pay more but less chance of fake products

Kenzie’s Optics is a reputable business, I’ve made several purchases from them at gun shows.
Good prices, no fakes, no nonsense.
