Aimpoint T2

While I agree that running steel thread inserts would be ideal, generous threadlocker use and using their torx wrench (and stopping when the wings flex a bit) they hold fine, but that's a price/weight tradeoff I think Aimpoint was on the right side of.

I'm still too happy with my menagerie of T1's and H1's, and would still argue that the H1 is the better value argument.

I am ok with a secondary market/retailer glut of T and H-1's; and the even more rugged stats are slightly amusing to me. The one improvement that I actually welcome would be improved lenses, the blue-ish tint does bother me in some conditions; so I am eager to see how that has been addressed.

Damn. Looks good.

Looks unnecessarily bulkier. I was hoping they would make an even smaller optic (for pistols), not a slightly larger one.

Well hopefully it will drive T-1 prices down.

The one improvement I look for is for Aimpoint to finally make a micro that does not require batteries. I made the decision several weeks ago to get rid of my Aimpont micros and get one or more ACOG's as funds allow. As to your secondary market: all but one of my "used but minty" Aimpoints sold within three weeks, so the market is already there. I expect the fourth to be sold within days.

"Greater clarity" .... ok, that is interesting.

Actually, I have to admit I noticed a slight clarity issue with one of my T1's--nothing major--but noticeable. One of my T1's had something like a "cataract" on the objective lense, probably from one of the coatings. It had acceptable clarity when looking through the lense, but every once in a while looking "at" the lense from the front you could see some cloudiness if the light was just right. My other T1 didn't have this.

Again, I'm not saying it's a big thing or that the majority of people would even notice, but apparently the folks at Aimpoint felt they could do better.

Probably found a way to keep the nv compatibility and lose the greenish tint. Aimpoint PRO's don't have that tint and is noticeably clearer than the T1. T2 will be a hot seller!
