Talk me into the AimPoint T1 with the DANG 4 MOA

...aaaand, cue the dumping of perfectly brilliant 4MOA T-1's on the EE at absolutely obscenely good prices.

Even though I'm definitely getting a 2 MOA T-1 I won't be getting rid of my 4MOA T-1. I've got a SBR coming and I'm planning on mounting one or the other on it. Why take a bath on selling the 4 MOA when I can still put it to great use.

[ColdDeadHands]

Nope. I think you will see more on the market, perhaps. But used T1s sell so quick (regardless of dot size) no one is gonna be foolish enough to sell one for less than what they currently sell for used.

Exactly. I sold my T1 for $550 in 30 minutes this morning

To my eyes, I couldn't tell much of a difference. And I've never seen anyone at a class or a match shoot more accurately with a 2 moa dot than a 4 moa. I guess the ONLY advantage is if you're using a magnifier.

I don't completely understand the advantage of a 2 MOA dot over a 4 MOA dot on a RDS, either. Just like you, the only advantage I see is that it might be more accurate if I decided to use a magnifier also. But if I needed magnification, I would just invest in a variable power scope instead.

I have done side by side comparisons between an Aimpoint M4 2 MOA and my Aimpoint T-1 4 MOA and I could not tell a functional difference.

I (apprehensively) went from a 2MOA to to 4MOA and I've only shot with the 4MOA twice (once to sight in and for groups, once in a match), but, I don't see a good reason to go with a 2MOA dot.

Given the trajectory of a 5.56 from a 14.5-16" barrel, a 4MOA dot makes a lot of sense... But a 2MOA dot is just about as easy to use anyway so I guess it's a wash.

[PD Sgt.]

I know for me, the smaller the dot, the less distortion is created by my astigmatism.

This would be about the only reason I would consider switching to the 2MOA dot, but realistically I still don't get enough distortion to adversely impact my shooting at the distances I use a red dot for. Plus, I have corrective lenses for my shooting glasses.

4 MOA works for me. I'm using this optic for out to 100 meters and in. I use the 7-8 power setting-- no difference I can see between the 4 MOA and a 2 MOA.
