Shotgun users and sporting clays enthusiasts have a reason to check the website of Aimpoint. The Sweden-based company, a pioneer in red dot technology, has unveiled the Acro S-2, a sight meticulously engineered for use on shotguns. Airsoft players who prefer using shotguns can check this optic when looking for an aiming device that's made specifically for shotguns.

The Acro S-2, a compact and unobtrusive optic, is a testament to the success of the Aimpoint Acro series. It brings notable enhancements for shotgun use. The sight seamlessly mounts onto users’ ventilated shotgun rib, courtesy of its integrated and featherweight carbon fibre reinforced mounting system.

One of the standout features of the Acro S-2 is its improved target acquisition. It employs a large 9 MOA red dot, simplifying lead visualization and instinctively refining users’ muzzle swing and positioning. Its sleek design, devoid of any protruding elements, ensures an unobstructed field of view when shooting with both eyes open. The low 15mm optical axis further encourages proper shotgun mounting technique.

Despite weighing a mere 68g, the Acro S-2 is a paragon of durability. Its robust construction can brave the elements. Aimpoint asserts that the sight can provide an impressive 50,000 hours of operation on a single battery, equating to over five years of use. The sight also boasts water resistance and can be submerged up to 5 meters.

The Acro S-2's adaptability sets it apart. It offers 10 adjustable intensity settings, allowing users to customize the red dot's brightness for peak performance in diverse lighting conditions. Responding to user feedback, this new model introduces the option to add flip-up covers, providing enhanced lens protection.

The Acro S-2's design is a boon for cross-eye dominant shooters. The sight enables users to utilize their strong side while shooting, eliminating the need for an ocular or switching shoulders.

Brian Lisankie, President of Aimpoint Inc., praises the Acro S-2, stating, “Adding the Acro S-2 sight to the user’s shotgun provides invaluable feedback, as the red dot shows exactly whe­re the bore is relative to the target. It makes a superb training tool for beginners, shortens the learning curve and provides for immediate success."

The Acro S-2 is a feature-rich offering, complete with a sturdy aluminium housing, a long-lasting battery, and interchangeable base plates to accommodate most popular shotgun rib sizes. It promises a clear view, exceptional durability, and versatility, catering to all users’ shotgunning needs.
