Was seeking to purchase a red dot scope (prior to it being lost in the boating accident) years ago. I specifically sought an Aimpoint device. Was at a Cabela's and they got their "optics guru" who said he was in the firearms optics business for more than twenty years. He said he "had never heard of this Aimpoint company" that I had requested!

Unreal. You work at Cabela's. You are in the firearms section. You specialize in optics...yet have miraculously never heard of the company "Aimpoint" in the course of your career? That visit convinced me they know FAR LESS than they let on about products. I have always been inclined to stick with a smaller and more specialized retailer, yet that was icing on the cake.

And I believe Aimpoint is the largest seller of red dot optics in the world, isn’t it? Imagine if you’d brought up one of those obscure optics companies like Leuopold, Vortex or Nikon.
