Frequently Asked Questions

How do you ensure the Aimpoint Acro S2 is securely mounted on a shotgun rib?

Secure mounting involves using calipers to measure the rib's width and height, then consulting a chart to select the correct numbered and lettered mounting blocks. These blocks, along with specific angled pieces, lock under the ventilated rib to create a solid attachment.

What are the key benefits of using the Aimpoint Acro S2 red dot sight on a shotgun?

The Acro S2 offers a clear sight picture, aiding in lead estimation for moving targets and helping shooters maintain a consistent head position. It's particularly beneficial for beginners, those with sighting issues like cross-dominance, and for improving accuracy in disciplines like clay or pigeon shooting.

Can the Aimpoint Acro S2 be mounted on any type of shotgun rib?

No, the Acro S2 is specifically designed for ventilated ribs. It cannot be fitted to carbon fiber or solid ribs because its locking mechanism requires a gap under the rib to secure properly, which these other rib types lack.
