    Let's hold the manufacturer accountable.

    And yes, let me change the battery on this P1 again.

Yes, the battery life isn't great, but I would take it over the RMR anytime. I change the P-1's batteries every 2 weeks, with it being left on the second highest setting. I was changing my RMR's batteries every 6 months, with it being left on the second highest setting, and I would much rather change it on the ACRO with a simple 2 minute procedure those 12 times than have to deal with confirming zero, redoing threadlocker, etc. that I would have to with an RMR, to say nothing of the other advantages the ACRO has (tint, enclosed emitter, etc.).

    It's a ****ing 1225 battery. I don't know what to tell you. Setting 6 on an ACRO P-1 is about equivalent to setting 7 on a CompM5 based off of my eyeballs, and setting 7 on a CompM5 is what Aimpoint uses to quote a 5 year battery life (same with the T-2). If you can't do a bit of basic extrapolation based of off well-documented specs, then I don't know what to tell you.
    They only went with a 1225 battery because if they used anything with decent battery life it would kill sales to their price and joy (T2/M5)

    The whole thing was stupid from the get go. If it wasnt, they wouldn’t be releasing a second gen so soon. Right?

    ETA: Every two weeks LOL

    Aimpoint should strike a deal with Varta to include discounted 26 battery bundle coupons, it'll last an impressive year.

    Changing batteries every 2 weeks is... far from ideal. But the batteries are really only 5 for $1, so at least that's some consolation, I guess. Still though, every 2 weeks — damn.

    These flip covers are pretty good.

    I guess missing October commercial market shipments will be the first disappointment.

    I guess until technology matures, I'll survive with open emitter RMRs and if rain / dirt / mud gets in there during a SD situation, I'll just keep pulling the trigger and hope for the best.

    If you train enough, you can still hit your target without sights at reasonable distances.
