Aimpoint Hunter H30L Review

The Aimpoint Hunter H30L is a new, 30mm tube red dot sight designed for hunting with long action centerfire rifles. It is designed to stand up to the recoil of any hunting round and the vibration of semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. The Aimpoint H30L is fully waterproof and its lenses are coated with a proprietary and highly effective anti-fogging compound. It will function in temperatures from -30° – +60°C, (-20° – +140°F).

The H30L Aimpoint uses ground lenses of superior optical quality. As with all Aimpoints it uses a single 2 MoA red dot aiming point – according to Aimpoint proven to be the most easily acquired and centred aiming pattern ever invented. It gives both eyes open, parallax-free aiming, meaning that your head position will not affect where your shots impact. You will not suffer the tunnel vision experienced with telescopic sights and will be able to detect other animals or people entering the kill zone, improving safety.

The H30L is an ideal sight for hunting in close country and at short to medium ranges where game may be exposed fleetingly or be taken whilst moving.
