We received the new B&T USW in and with it, came the Aimpoint NANO. For those that do not know, B&T requested that Aimpoint make this optic specifically for them (for the USW). Just like they did with the T-1.

To me it seems that there are no real Advantages to the NANO over the RMR. Unless the NANO is a sealed beam unit, is that the case?

We will need to wait and see run time, etc before we would make conclusions, but the two main advantages that we can see is that you do not need to remove the opic to install a new battery and the lens does not have the blue tint to it. Theres are two issues that seem keep people from buying the RMR.

Looking forward to your opinions on it. It its safe to assume that these will be on your site and if so do you know what these will be selling for? If prices are comparable i could certainly see someone going to the the NANO based on those two features.

The NANO really isn't even acknowledged by Aimpoint yet LOL. So at best, we will see it at the 2018 shot show.

Thank you for putting up the pictures and some details about the Nano. I would be interested to see a pic looking through both sights side-by-side.

I saw this right after your IG post last night. Great photos again!

That is somewhat hard as the NANO is mounted. Still adding info from the manual so check back.

So when you power the NANO on, it defaults to position 7. It is a full sunny day today. Looking at a target in the sun, this illumination setting is barely bright enough to see the dot. Position 8 and or 9 are more ideal.
