**Aimpoint PRO Tip** No More “Reach Over”
Posted on April 29th, 2013 by ar15newsNot sure why I dont see many people doing this but I do this on mine and its a great easy adjustment. An Aimpoint PRO comes from the factory with the Brightness Control/Battery Compartment positioned on the right side (see first picture below) which makes it harder to adjust with your off hand (unless you shoot lefty). If you loosen the clamp on the mount you can rotate the PRO counter clockwise 90 degrees. This positions the control on the left side for easier access and the windage/elevation have now swapped locations and are easier to adjust now as well. This isn’t rocket science and I am in no way taking credit as the first person to do this. I just wanted to make more people aware that 1. This is something anyone can do and 2. Its okay to mess around with your gear and try different things to make it better suited to you! I seriously have maybe seen 1 or 2 other people do this but I’m sure its more popular than that. Just be sure to align one adjustment knob at 12 o’clock and one at 9 o’clock and you’ll be good to go. Now if we could just do this to an Aimpoint T-1 we’d be all set (I’m claiming intellectual property on the T-1 left handed control mount
).

Whether you’re new to the AR world and trying to piece together your first one or already have one or two AR’s and just want add a great budget upper to the collection this latest combo deal by Palmetto State Armory should peak your interest. The days of amazing deals in the firearms market are far from over. You just have to do a little more digging to find them. I’m going to show you how to make this not just a combo deal but a super steal that you’ve got to take advantage of. There’s two ways to look at this. First, the combo itself is a 16” CMV Chrome-Lined Stripped Upper (no BCG or CH) that comes with a Vortex Strikefire Red Dot optic for just $399.95. I’ve personally owned Vortex products and can tell you that they are excellent quality and are the next best thing if you don’t want to spend all the dough for an Aimpoint. This as it stands is a fantastic deal. I don’t think anyone would feel that the price is too high.
