2 MOA Dot for the Aimpoint T1?

[dfsutton]

I have shot a 2 MOA Aimpoint M4 and a 4 MOA T-1 and I could see very little difference in the dot size between the two optics. This was at an outdoor range on a sunny day, while shooting from under a covered overhang.

I have seen postings on various websites about how a 4 MOA T-1 had an "actual" dot size of between 3.2 MOA to 3.5 MOA. I don't know if that is true or just internet folklore, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

I could tell only a minute difference on the lower power settings (was barely usable due to the bright daylight) and couldn't tell a difference up on the higher settings necessary to shoot quickly in bright daylight.

Obviously, If i were to purchase another Aimpoint T-1, I would opt for the 2 MOA, but I see no reason to make a change away from the 4 MOA T-1 I already have.

I would say that unless you use a magnifier or mount your aimpoint towards the middle or rear of the receiver the 2 MOA dot won't offer any significant advantage over the 4 MOA.

It would not surprise me if some of you who want the 2 for "long range" shots (ie past 200 meters), without the magnifier, will end up cranking up the illumination for normal engagements - which means had you used the 4 on the low setting you would have been gtg without touching anything but the trigger.

Is the 2 moa dot thing real, or is it still speculation? I looked on Aimpoint's website and I couldn't find a 2 moa T-1.

Based on the press release, and the fact that two reputable dealers are already listing it on their sites for sale (SKD Tactical and LaRue) I would say it's the real thing.

Also, Grant has said that he is going to be getting some in, so I assume it is the real deal, but who knows...maybe Grant is just pulling my leg....

I fondled one at SHOT, so yeah: it's real.

Nice! That's the whole reason I was holding out on the T1. Thankfully I have been patient and it looks like it paid off.

I want the 2 MOA. The 4 does not work well with my astigmatism.

Real deal. We ordered a bunch of them at Shot.
