This is true about the co-witnessing on a DPP> I had to call dawson and have a custom front sight made for my DPP combo. .450" is a really high front sight, and I am sorta glad I got an adjustibvle rear sight, though looking back, i wish I had Dawson make a custom rear sight and have a dovetail milled in front of the DPP so I could at least shoot without the DPP on the gun at all if need be.Originally Posted by Wake27
The DPP has been great so far FWIW.

Why only a 50 mah cr1225 battery? That is pathetic. The 2032 in the RMR has more than 4 times the capacity.

Looks like an old GoPro camera.

It's that simple.

It's also irrelevant.
According to Aimpoint's published specs, the P1's battery life is over a year of constant use.
Can you leave a Trijicon RMR on for a year on a single battery? Nope, the answer to that question is 25 days when left on.

The last time I checked, 365 is greater than 25, even for very large values of 25.

To be fair, that RMR quote is for position 8 out of 8; at position 4 of 8, the adjustable RMRs are good for 4 years. The 1 year life for the Aimpoint is for position 6 of 10, and 4 of the positions are for NVD. Given that the RMR adjustable has 2 NVD levels, the position 4 of 8 on the RMR and the Aimpoint position 6 out of 10 is relatively comparable, so one could extrapolate that the RMR does indeed have 4 times the battery life, although I'll note that the RMR at 4 out of 8 is unusable for me in the day, while Aimpoint does claim that position 6's one year is "Battery life - Day time use".
That being said, I do agree that it's irrelevant, given that the battery can be changed without removing the optic, along with the fact that very few people leave their optic on top brightness; I have never used the 8 out of 8 on my RMR, even at the peak of noon in the desert.
I suspect the battery choice was simply a sacrifice they made in order to make the form factor fit, since it's on the side and not at the bottom, which in theory allows for lower mounting of the optic.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I am not making a case for the RMR. I only mention the RMR as a reference to a smaller sight with a much bigger battery.
I usually leave my Aimpoint sight 2 settings brighter than the setting relevant to their quoted battery life. This lowers battery life dramatically.
Hensoldt put a 1500 mah cr123 battery in one of their precision rifle scopes citing the need for cold weather reliability.

I have had an RMR for 5 years and I can tell you the battery lasts a lot longer than 25 days on a day bright setting. The highest setting is too bright to have any purpose. I'm yet to change the battery on my RMR but I don't always leave it on.

The brightest setting is for when you activate your 600-1200 lumen light.

No pricing. No availability date. No mounting specifications.
Honestly Aimpoint, why did you even bother talking about this now?

Looks a bit smaller than a T1
