I have been having issues with my Aimpoint T1. I have had problems zeroing it and chasing a zero around. For instance, at 50yds I was zeroing and brought the elevation down 12 clicks. This moved the POI down approximately 5". This isn't consistent though, because sometimes the POI doesn't change at all when I'm adjusting the windage or elevation, other times it moves the POI considerably more than it should. I have tried switching mounts, to rule that out, and its still having issues. I have also used an Aimpoint M3 on the same rifle, to rule the rifle out. The M3 was easy to zero and had no issues maintaining zero. This is my fifth Aimpoint Micro (2 T1's, 2 H1's, and 1 R1) and I have never experienced these issues before. Anyone heard of something like this with a T1? Getting pretty frustrated with this optic.

I believe I have heard something like that before and it was an optic issue.

Yeah I've emailed them and awaiting a response. I tried searching but couldn't find a single case of this.

When you adjust, tap on the dials every time to prevent the red dot from sticking/freezing. I have not had any problems with my T-1, but I still do it to prevent it. Good luck.

I knew that was an issue with ACOGs but never heard of it with Aimpoints.

Before I purchased the T1, I read some reviews where they had that issue, so that was what they recommended. I have not had that issue, so maybe that might the problem with yours. If its under warranty, Aimpoint will solve the issue.

Shoot FSP up and place the dot on or just above the fsp each shot in the same location. Just try it.
