Introduction
As an avid shooter, I’m always on the lookout for products that can enhance my accuracy and performance on the range. When I stumbled upon the AIMPOINT RED DOT SIGHT, I was intrigued by its reputation for reliability and ease of use. Specifically, I wanted to put the QRP3 Mount to the test and see how it would perform on my trusty rifle. In this review, I’ll share my extensive experience with the AIMPOINT RED DOT SIGHT MOUNT QRP3, highlighting its pros and cons, as well as its overall performance.
Unboxing and Assembly
The QRP3 Mount arrived in a compact, foam-lined box with a contents list on the side. Inside, I found the following items:
- The QRP3 Mount
- Allen wrench
- Screws for securing the mount to the rifle
- Instruction manual
- Rubber inserts for the mount’s grip
Assembling the mount was a breeze. Simply screw in the provided inserts, attach the rubber grips, and voilà! You’re ready to mount the sight.
Mounting and Elevation Adjustment
The QRP3 Mount is designed to be versatile, and its modular nature allows for easy adjustment. With the included screws, I attached the mount to my rifle’s Picatinny rail in no time. Elevation adjustment is a simple click-to-adjust process, thanks to the easy-to-use knob.
Rifle-Specific Tips and Tricks
To get the most out of the QRP3 Mount, here are some tips for specific rifle owners:
- AR-15 owners: You’ll want to ensure your AR-15’s rail is free of any debris or obstructions, as the QRP3 Mount can be sensitive to wobble.
- AR-10 owners: You may need to adjust the mount’s height to account for the slightly longer distance between the rail’s notches on an AR-10.
- Ruger owners: Be cautious when attaching the mount to your Ruger’s rail, as the slots may be slightly offset.
Performance and Accuracy
I subjected the QRP3 Mount to a rigorous testing regime, shooting a mix of target loads and hunting rounds. The results were impressive:
- Zeroing and accuracy: I achieved consistent sub-1-inch groups at 50 yards and 100 yards with the AIMPOINT RED DOT SIGHT on the QRP3 Mount. This was impressive, as I typically experience slightly larger groups with other red dot sights.
- Durability and Disassembly: The QRP3 Mount withstood harsh weather conditions and was easily disassembled for maintenance.
