Replacing Aimpoint Pro Flip-Up Cover

[Mechan1c]

I always thought the clear rear lens was great. I get how the lenses closed, both eyes open scenario works. I too have wondered why not clear on both ends? Other than cost is there a plus to the black forward cap over clear?

The H2 and T2 come with clear claps front and rear. I know the Aimpoint site shows the T2 with a black front cover, but the one I bought came with clear caps on both ends. Even if they didn't I would replace them with clear caps if they were available. I'm aware you can shoot with the front blocked, buy why would you choose to do so when you don't have to?

You realize that someone can see the red dot when the rifle is pointed at them in the dark? You can give your position away. With the black cap on and both eyes open, you can be in stealth mode and still have a bead on your target.

GH41, you seem a little angry. If someone wants clear caps or no caps, that's their prerogative. I keep caps on mine to help protect an expensive optic. I have no problem shooting with the black cap, so I see no need to replace it. If I felt like spending the money for a clear one, I'm sure it would make for a better field of view. That's what the op is looking for, not a beat down.

Not angry at all. No beatdown intended.

Better field of view is what I was going for. I have two Pro's, one with the black cap and now one with the clear cap. And I do like the protection that the caps offer. Just something that I wanted to see how they compare. Thanks for everyone's thoughts.

The "Occluded" red dot aka using a black front cap should be for emergency (and really close range) use only.
