Is my new Aimpoint T-1 Micro Defective? Or I've got a fake?

[Wolfhound86]

Both of mine have come in plastic bags, no issues, they are the real deal.

The one I ordered from Larue with the LT660 mount came in ziploc bag.

Same set up and I also got a bag.

Note on the reflections: I remember Grant saying in another thread that the H1 has fewer (or different?) coatings than the T1 so it doesn't have as many of those issues.

I got the ziploc bag and a thick instruction booklet and a quick reference booklet.

Gotcha, does it come with a manual or anything? Just seems kind of crappy to not get a box. I have the utmost faith in SWFA, but had never heard of the ziplock bag. Thank you sir. Note to self: always buy an Aimpoint with a mount.. Sorry for the hijack, just curious about this.

It comes with all accessories as expected (manuals, screws, little tool/screwdriver)

Thanks everyone for your comments & suggestions. I have contacted SWFA and they said that the "no mount" version is part of a "bulk order" and thus they do not have a box for it. The overall inspection of the outside look along with the clarity of the glass does not show any sign of being a counterfeit. However, due to the low brightness and the reflection that I see (indoor), I went ahead and request for an exchange/replacement. If the new one comes out to have the same issues, then I guess I'll just have to live with it, since I really like the compactness and durability of the T-1 Micro. I'm very satisfy with the way SWFA handled my situation; They have been very helpful throughout the whole process.

Again, thanks everyone for your comments. I will keep you posted of how the replacement going when it arrives.

I don't need a miniature red sun in my optic to shoot with...

You are missing out. You haven't lived until you need SPF 50 sunblock your RDS is so bright.

That's how they come when you order them with no mount (in a ziplock bag).

Mine had a box. Unless I was scammed out of a mount.
