I’m excited to be disappointed again. Hope AP proves me wrong this time.
And what things were those? The only real gripe I can think of is the battery life, and even then, I thought it was way overblown, and beyond that, perfectly obvious if you simply just do a modicum of research as to the 1225 battery. Given that the P-1's battery life was basically right on target with your typical Aimpoint's battery life if you simply extrapolated down to the size of the CR1225, I see no reason why we would be disappointed by the P-2 on that front, particularly when it has the exact same published battery life as a T-2.
Do either of you actually use the ACRO? How about as an EDC? The P1 was originally advertised as at least 1 year on setting 7. Setting 7 is barely daytime bright, never mind as a night gun with a x300U attached...

We've been around this before. Yes, I EDC with my P-1s, and have done so for most of the time they were out (not a launch, if only because it took my guy awhile a way to mount it to my oddball guns). Yes, the battery life isn't great, but I would take it over the RMR anytime. I change the P-1's batteries every 2 weeks, with it being left on the second highest setting. I was changing my RMR's batteries every 6 months, with it being left on the second highest setting, and I would much rather change it on the ACRO with a simple 2 minute procedure those 12 times than have to deal with confirming zero, redoing threadlocker, etc. that I would have to with an RMR, to say nothing of the other advantages the ACRO has (tint, enclosed emitter, etc.).
It's a ****ing 1225 battery. I don't know what to tell you. Setting 6 on an ACRO P-1 is about equivalent to setting 7 on a CompM5 based off of my eyeballs, and setting 7 on a CompM5 is what Aimpoint uses to quote a 5 year battery life (same with the T-2). If you can't do a bit of basic extrapolation based of off well-documented specs, then I don't know what to tell you.
