Frequently Asked Questions

How do you install the Aimpoint Micro S-1 on a shotgun?

The Aimpoint Micro S-1 mounts directly onto the shotgun's rib using interchangeable base plates to accommodate rib widths from 6mm to 12mm. Installation is described as quick and simple, requiring no permanent modifications to the firearm.

What is the main benefit of using a red dot sight like the Aimpoint Micro S-1 for shooting?
