Not to mention over the phone they recommended a .195 front sight to pair with the attached rear sight, which is about 5" too low in comparison to the zeroed-in dot, at 10ft.
I will put up a detailed post sometime this week if this doesn't do, but for starters:
On the original plate system that they released, there is only one rear screw securing the plate, and then the front two typical "DUO" divets to put into the slots. Correctly torqued down with the ACRO attached and torqued, my plate on my C2 feels like you can grab it and feel enough of a "thunk", that it is not tightly attached. So far it is holding zero after about 100 rounds, more to come though if I don't flat out purchase the Dawson "patent-pending" ACRO version.
On the "updated" version, there are 3 screws as similar to the typical DUO plate, with no two front divets for insertion. My brother noticed right away that the rear screw on his was too long, and not the appropriate measurement. So even when he used the screw from version one (the correct length), the screw inhibited the firing pin from activating from the hammer. On my plate, my ACRO was loose with tons of wobble to it, this is even with correct torque and what not. Diagnostically, his ACRO had no issues with my plate so we were guessing it may have been an ACRO housing issue with the mount on the bottom, however, with my ACRO working fine on the original plate, we are doubtful this is on Aimpoint's end.
Tomorrow when I am not working I will put up the video of the wobble, and I will also report with what their response is in general.
