Well that sucks big time. Now 2 options remain.. 1: live with it 2: call aimpoint and explain that it's unacceptable and try to exchange for a different model.

Took this from the article:
I took the opportunity to ask an Aimpoint representative about this phenomenon at the SHOT Show in January, 2011. He told me that the length of the barrel in the Micro sights is just so short that the diode’s reflection cannot be completely eliminated.
Yes I saw that, but in your defense this isn't brought to your attention while buying it. If it was then I'd say you'd be SOL. Yet again IF you can live with it which where you live sounds like it'll drive you crazy. I'd ask for an exchange.

Contacted Aimpoint, we'll see what they say...
Good luck man.

I just noticed the same thing on my R1, but when there is fluorescent light, I have not tried it in the sunlight.
Here is the best pic i can get.

Yeah I guess it's the nature of the beast. Aimpoint pretty much echoed what their rep said at shot show. The full size Aimpoints don't experience this because the diode is farther back and the glass is more recessed creating somewhat of a sunshade. It's a rare occurrence and I still love my T1, I guess that's why there are qd mounts...
and fixed BUIS.
Yeah, one of the main reasons I run DD fixed sights.
No issue here. If you are shooting directly into the angle of the sun, focus on the target and the dot. Anything else in the fov is irrelivent.
