For less weight and less money a fixed low power optic like an ACOG or even an LPV itself can be had. Seeing as the reddot is capable to around 300 yards, there isn't much need for the magnifier for the majority of shots taken. The extra weight hanging off the side of the rifle is a pain in the ass, as is the additional snag issues it presents.

    As for Aimpoint being God's gift to the world. I wouldn't go that far, but at least they didn't lie about their products capabilities. Hard to knock on Aimpoint optics when they have a pretty golden track record for performance. Eotech is like the Maglite of the reddot arena.


    To the OP and the original question. If you're still looking for a reddot, then an Aimpoint is an absolute no brainer. If you're looking for something else, then more details are needed before a suggestion can be made.

    Dude, spare me the rhetoric. I know what a magnifier brings to the table. ACOGs suck indoors. Aimpoints are great optics, but at least the H/T-1s suck if you ever want to put magnification behind it.

    So you like the pro with the g33 . Laure sells the pro and LT129 mount (1/3 cowittness) for about $575
    I'm leaning this way but $175 more the t2 would be sweet .

    Why not the H2? The pro plus magnifier would be hefty.

    I can't speak to the T-2, but I've always thought that the T-1 was exceptionally overrated and would NOT be inclined to ever buy a T-2. OTOH I really like that PRO and it works very very well with my G33. I swap that magnifier between several different rifles.

    My long experience with the T-1 convinced me that for my expectations and needs, the form factor is of negligible benefit and the 20 mm tube makes for occasionally problematic alignment. I assume that the T-2 has been improved to eliminate my other issues like weird internal reflections and crappy dot precision (almost unusable with a magnifier), but for me it's irrelevant...not near enough benefit to justify its rather breathtaking cost for sight and mount compared to, for example, a PRO.

    I will say that a couple of months ago I put that T-1 in an ADM low-pro QD mount and put it on my Benelli M2. In that application, it works great for me.

    Anything Aimpoint would be a better choice than what you had.
