I really want a ML3, but I heard from one of the mail order sources that AP is announcing a new optic at SHOT.... Seems the ML3 is being discontinued. Any thoughts? 77 Knowing my luck it will be something exactly like the Elcan Specterdr, only lighter, better and cost $2k. How long ago did the T2 come out? Maybe an H2 or some kind of slick docter/rmr/eotech MRDS, who knows, good chance the ML3 goes away soon. |

The way they are going, I think they will go after the low cost options and release a $350 gutted T-2 without as many illumination settings and no NVG settings with a two year battery life.. They will call it the Micro Carbine Optic

Are they going to announce something specifically for SHOT Show? The most recent press release I received is for the ACO (on 2014-10-20).

I guarantee they will announce something with less features, for more money.

Basically I was told by the guy on the phone that AP is making an announcement at SHOT, he was not at liberty to say....and while I don't really want to say the name of the online store, believe me, I am confident they knew what they were talking about...a very well respected company on this website.... 77 |

I'm betting they're not announcing anything specifically at SHOT Show.
I remember at one SHOT Show, their new product was the PRO, and that was announced via press release the October prior. Since the T-2 was announced in June and the ACO was announced in October, I'm betting those are the two products they'll be showcasing at 2015 SHOT Show. But I guess we'll just have to see what they have at the booth in exactly 2 weeks from now. |

Aimpoint really doesn't buy into the American big surprise at SHOT Show marketing hype....they bring out a product then tell everybody about it no matter what time of year it is....

Not spreading rumors man, I was told this by SWFA. I figured if anyone knows it would be them...Was trying to keep it low key....I was just making a comment to start some dialogue |

Been following their FB and they just mentioned that you can try out the new T-2 at Press Range day. I think that's the new product, which is already known to most of us.

They definitely need to get something better to compete with the G33. I'm a big Aimpoint fan and still prefer the Eotech. External adjustment like the G33 and smaller/lighter profile would certainly do it for me. |

Just saw the AimPoint presentation from the AR15.com YT channel.
The new products are the ACO and T-2. |

I was wrong. They did introduce something new. Looking for a sight for your rocket launcher?

If they release a budget micro, I'll probably be in for two. Maybe three, depending on the price and whether or not the budget one is as good as the T2 is for people with astigmatism. But it'll probably be around $500 MSRP, since they just released the ACO and there are disturbing rumors that they'll be jacking up the price of the PRO to boost ACO sales. Who knows. |
