Just after SHOT Show, Aimpoint announced the new COA R, a rifle-focused red dot sight built specifically for hunters who prioritize speed, durability, and a streamlined setup. The COA R carries over the ultra-compact, enclosed design of the original COA, tipping the scales at just 48 grams. It features a 3.5 MOA dot and an optical profile tuned for fast target acquisition at close range while still supporting precise holds at extended distances.
Aimpoint COA @ TFB:
Mounting is handled via a dedicated adapter plate using the A-CUT footprint for rifles equipped with MICRO-style interfaces. Once installed, the optic locks into a full-length dovetail system secured by a front hook and rear wedge. Notably, no screws pass through the sight housing, minimizing stress on fasteners and enhancing zero retention under recoil.
“COA R delivers an unlimited field of view, minimal visual obstruction, and a uniquely stable mounting interface. It gives hunters the same intuitive, instinctive shooting experience that made the original COA so successful on pistols – but now optimized for longer distances and more diverse shooting situations” says Alexander Nordin, Director Commercial Sales at Aimpoint.
Designed for hunting rifles, from lightweight driven-game setups to modern straight-pull platforms, the COA R maintains a low-profile footprint while remaining instantly ready for fast follow-up shots.

I am thinking this could be great for PCCs and other carbines as well. Hopefully, TFB can get a sample and try it out. Let us know what you think in the comments.
