Aimpoints: M68 vs. T1

[halmbarte]

The Aimpoint T-1, small as it is, is still pretty damn tough. Google the Daniel Defense M4 torture test with Larry Vickers. That Aimpoint took one hell of a beating, and still kept going.

GET OUT OF MY MIND!

JK, I was actually thinking about the DD test when I wrote that. The M4, with the protective ears for the adjusters and decoupled knob and switch, is still probably tougher than the T1.

But I'm not going to blow up and throw 2 dozen rifles with a dozen M4's and a dozen T1's attached to prove it.

I have an M4 and 2 H1 aimpoints. I like the weight and size of the H1 optic but the M4 is much faster due to the larger feild of view.

Stop looking through the tube and start "seeing" the dot with both eyes open. Tape over the objective (front glass) with the Aimpoint turned on, then reacquire a target and you'll understand what I am talking about.

I hear what your saying and thanks for the advice. I think it has more to do with the diffrent setups of the rifles. But I do find my larger aimpoint faster. I ran ACOGs for the 10 years I was in the Army and I shoot with both eyes open.

I ran the M68 (M2) for a couple years.

I recently got the T-1 for my SBR's and its more suitable for my needs being so low profile.

There is nothing wrong with either.

I love them both

I have both, you cant go wrong it either...

My personal red dot odyssey started with an EOtech. As my department issued us M2's I went with that on my personal weapon for about 6 years. After trying a T-1 I sold both my M-2's and have owned 3 T-1's for the last 3-4 years. We end up with so much stuff on our weapons that the weight was a factor. After adding Surefires BFG slings and rails the weight does add up. It's not that I can't carry it. it's that I don't prefer to. I also like pencil barrels for the most part.

I had one fog up several years ago at an EAG class and had it repaired. Since then I have had no issues. I leave them on and change the battery every New Years when I clean the rifles. FWIW I had to send in 2 M-2's from the department over the years as well.

I mount them on the front of the receiver and can't say the tube issue has ever been noticed. With 2 eyes open it doesn't matter. I recently bought a new 2 MOA for use with the magnifier but have been somewhat underwhelmed. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not that much difference. So, for me T-1's are my answer. YMMV.

I switched from a Comp M3 2 moa to the T1 4 moa- I am as accurate with both units and much prefer the T1- my only complaint is the lack of flip up lens caps-

So do you feel the T1 is a big enough improvement to justify ditching a perfectly good Comp ML3?

I don't know why, but I see the dot in the M4 as a clearer dot than the T1. My eyes have been pretty scratched up though, so it might just be me.

I've noticed this as well. The dot appears (to my eyes) to be more circular with slightly less flaring on the outer edges.
