Aimpoint T-1

[Funkenstein]

Anyone know of a good deal on an Aimpoint T-1?

I found one on botach with the LRP mount for $525 but on other sites like amazon they are going for $625+ with no mount...am I missing something?

Just looking for suggestions and am definitely getting one in the next couple weeks.

It is on Botach. That means you will pay less but you may or may not get your product on time if at all.

Buy from gandrtactical or another reputable dealer.


Also unless you need the NVG capabilities just get an H-1.

I could of sworn that 90% of T-1's I found about a year ago were definitely under $600.

Also Grant has them for $645 vs $525 on some other sites. I am willing to wait a little longer to save $120...

And is that the only difference between the T-1 and H-1? Both have 5yr battery life etc.?

I know this...

From shooting experience with NVG's, using a PEQ-15 is far superior than trying to look through a T-1 or any optic for that matter.

In fact I was more accurate with looking over my optic and just using my PEQ-15 than trying to use optic.

The T-1 is Night-Vision compatible.

This should be in the Light section but before it's moved I would be very cautious of Botach. A lot of people have had bad experiences with them and some not. As far as I know they are not an authorized dealer of aimpoint and they usually buy contract overruns from other countries. Not that there is anything wrong with that but if your going to spend the money you should buy it from an authorized dealer. I purchased mine from Grant at G&R with the Larue mount of my choice, check his sight for exact price. Also the equipment exchange is a great place to buy T1's...

Yeah, my mistake. I just now saw Kwelz's post above that already answered that point. I deleted my post.

I see.

Also, why is it cheaper to go with his package that includes a Daniel Defense mount rather than stock?

On the equipment exchange I have tried multiple times to contact the guy that has it for $475, he won't give me pictures and told me to no longer e-mail him because he would rather talk on the phone. So I called him and he didn't answer...

Not everything is going to be instant, and especially when you're looking to save some cash, patience is going to help devil.

I'd look for an H-1 Package, and price it from there. You'll need a mount for it anyway.

The other option is to keep looking. Now that the 2MOA Aimpoint Micros are coming out, tons of folks are looking at their 3.4MOA models that have used less than half of the first battery like a dried up prostitute. Great deals can be had, just takes some lurking.

I wouldn't trust that at all. Dot send someone $500 unless they're a known member with a good rating. Make sure your also familer with PayPal procedures. Don't send anyone a check or money order either.
Just saying.
