    aimpoint t1 vs t2 - glass quality

    wondering if the t2 is worth the extra coin over the t1.

    is the glass that much nicer/clearer? havnt looked through a t2 yet

    The T2 is noticeably clearer. You don't realize how much of a blue tint the T1 has until you compare them side by side.

    I own both and I honestly can't tell a difference. The T2 is beefier with the protected turrets, but the T1 will serve you very well.

    True I haven't magnified them both.

    It's worth it to get the T-2 over the T-1, but not so much for the slight edge in clarity or lack of blue tint, but for a combination of small improvements.


    T-2 has better clarity, parallax, built in lens covers, slightly better turret/cap design, etc. If I go shooting with only a T-1, I'm not pissed that it's not a T-2 like I would be if I shot a rifle without a Geissele trigger.


    I like to buy LNIB, and sometimes you just can't turn down some of the deals these days on the older T-1s.

    This is all lessened to a degree if you have both your eyes open, like you should.

    That's what I'm saying . Some great deals to be had on used t1s
