Aimpoint

[1CavScout]

I am looking at the Aimpoint Micro T-2. I have used the PRO and liked it, but I have heard the FOV (not as much tunneling effect) is better on the T-2. Any one have first hand experience?

Place the optic as far forward as possible on the receiver.
Shoot with both eyes open.
Problem solved.

The micro def blocks less field of view. I run micros along and have run the CompM3 and CompM4... the micro is definitely the more streamlined.

Dunno that it has any negative aspect in actual application though.

I don't mind running either size honestly.

Thanks for the replies. I think I will give the Micro a try. I have heard nothing but good things about it. I just need to get used to a new red dot after using EOTech's for so long.

You can't go wrong.
The battery life alone is worth it.

Just wish Aimpoint would go ahead and make something with a similar reticle to an eotech.

Had a Pro, now have a T2. Greatly prefer the T2 - the dot seems way clearer.

That would be perfect.

I have heard that. Supposedly if you use a magnifier the T2's dot is much clearer than the T1.

It is. The T2 dot is awesome. Even better than the Comp M4 which is quite a pricey red dot.

I'm planning on putting a T2 on my SBR when the stamp comes back. I've been using the PRO for a few years now and have no complaints. Especially given the price.

[MXRider]

Oh and I wish you could get a green dot Aimpoint.

I went from an Aimpoint M68 CCO to the Micro H-1 (4moa dot), and really the only difference is that it's less bulky and takes up less rail space. The difference in weight is negligible. If you are comparing looking THROUGH the optic only, the PRO/M68/Comp M3/etc actually have a larger window, but the outer shape of the optic blocks view due to it's bulkiness. I love my Micro H-1!

[patriot_man]

That would be perfect.

SIG's new electro optic division has a sight called the Romeo 4 that has a 2 moa center dot and 65 moa circle in a Aimpoint Micro sized body.

Pretty sure it isn't out yet and not sure how it shakes out but the price is ~$500 so I'm hoping the performance justifies the cost.

^^^ interesting.

I bought a trijicon mro for 413 shipped yesterday from opticplanet. Just saying its like the same thing for a couple to few hundred less. Aimpoints are awesome but i couldn't justify buying a micro over a mro now unless the price was equal. Slightly bigger field of view on the mro too.

If you shoot both eyes open, like it's meant to be done, the FOV is a pretty moot point. The MRO has had some issues, whether or not the issues still remain in the current production line, who knows. The Aimpoint has been around far too long for me to choose the MRO to save $200. Just my opinion. If the issues have been worked out of the MRO, then great, it's a decent buy for sure. Just my opinion.
