Yes, use an animation to bring the object into position. It's much easier to create animations outside of Unity in an external 3d-program, especially if the arm is a skinned mesh. Then you can set the animation to clamp for instance. To later play the animation use something similar to this:

 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1)) {
     animation.Play("aim");
 }

Read up on animations in the script reference and the manual, there's much on animations but very easy to manage once knowing their functionality. This video is also very helpful.
