I doubt there's any noticeable differences compared to the t1, besides some flip caps. I'd rather go with the t1 for $525

I have a T1 its going to be tough to beat but I'm willing to pay to experiment. I guess I will find out. For science. |

If they turn out to essentially be the same thing in terms of functionality and quality (which I expect they will/would) again the price points won't move. The T2 has to do something significantly better to warrant a large market shift. I see people holding onto their T1's or just putting T2's on new rifles, not replacing old T1's. |

To be fair, the LT combo include their mount. The T2 alone, with a military/LEO discount is $632. LT's price is the mount + their customer service, freebies.
Honestly, I think that's a pretty big jump considering the T1 is 2MOA. There are some advantages/upgrades to the T2 but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze. Anytime a T1 has gone tits up, it's been a manufacturer screw up or just mechanical breakage. |

I am in Nova (where Aimpoint US HQ is) and the word here is that in addition to the advertised features, the dot is supposed to be superior and magnify better. Last I heard (several days ago), there also were not any in the US yet.

No. I heard this info secondhand from a friend of an employee, so it not may not be the best intel, but whatever...I can wait. That pre-order price is ridiculous. I'll check again this week to see what I can find out. Quoted:

I am partial to the PRO over the T-1 , always have been. I have a T-1 on my duty weapon and i have never felt it offered anything over the PRO worth giving up what I like about the PRO. I have read up on the T-2 and I dont see anything it offers that I would give up the PRO for either or bother upgrading my duty T-1. The ACO they have coming out does not appear to be NVG capable like the PRO and has a shorter battery life. If it is priced under $300 retail it might sell but it will have a hard time competing against $350 PRO's.
Seems like Aimpoint is having a hard time improving on what they have accomplished and is starting to reach a little as more and more competitors are closing the performance gap. |

I heard from a large AP dealer that VERY few were being released before SHOT 2015.
I don't know if that means the pre-orders are the ONLY ones being released, or if even those people are going to be waiting until January, but I'm waiting to see how it magnifies before jumping on the bandwagon (since I really like running a 3X behind the T1). I want to like the PRO, but I don't like the battery at 2 o'clock or the weight compared to the micros. |

Yes. Yes, flip caps are all you get
Different housing, longer battery life (?), increased clarity through the glass, better for a magnifier......all things I've read. I can't really say until I get out to the range with it. Based off initial handling and goofing around in the house, I wouldn't be dumping any of my T1's for this. But going forward, I probably wouldn't buy any other type of RDS. |

It looks like an improvement over the T1 to me but I can't justify the price for the T1 or T2. Until they get cheaper I will stick with the old M3 style aimpoints.

Interesting that they changed the elevation cap to a flat head slot instead of the adjustment prongs like in the windage cap. I guess they wanted it to be really, really low drag

I got my T2 yesterday and looking at it side by side with the T1 I find that the dot on the T2 is clearer, more like a perfect circle where as the T1 is a little more of a diagonal line. I noticed the crisper dot as soon as I turned the optic on, so it is noticeable without having to the hold them side by side.
Im not crazy about the flat head cap on the elevation turret as now when your adjusting the elevation you have to remove both caps and this increases the chances of loosing one of the caps. however I can understand why they did this. I once dropped on of my rifles and it landed on the top of my T1, this caused the one of the tips to get jammed down onto the adjustment turret and I had a really hard time removing the cap as it would snag on the turret hole. I would think they could have used the same cap and just made the shoulders that protect the turret a little taller and achieved the same end result. Also there is less of the bluish tint when looking through the optic. The flip up covers are nice and the optic can be ran with the caps on which is nice. Overall the T2 is a good evolution of the T1, however I wish they would have simply replaced the T1 with the T2 and maintained the same price point or reduced the T1 and leave the T2 at the price of the T1. if you where looking to buy a RDO the T2 is a winner but I wouldn't sell a T1 to get a T2. |
