New sight offers additional features and enhanced performance

Aimpoint, the originator and world leader in electronic red dot sighting technology, has announced the addition of the new Micro H-2 sight to the company’s commercial product line. The Micro H-2 will be available for shipment in August 2015, and will be offered alongside the company’s existing Micro H-1 product.
Since its introduction in 2007, the Aimpoint Micro sight has become the worldwide standard for compact reflex sights. Hunters and sport shooters have embraced this sight for its compact size, durability, and extremely long battery life. Product reviews with professional end users identified a series of desired product enhancements that have now been added to this new product. These changes include: a new sight housing which allows the addition of front and rear protective flip covers, additional physical protection for the sight’s adjustment turrets, and increased ruggedness for the sight’s internal electronic components.

The most important development in this new sight however, is enhanced optical performance. A newly designed front lens, incorporating an important breakthrough in reflective lens coatings, provides a noticeable increase in the clarity and performance properties of the Micro H-2. This ensures that no matter what angle or conditions the shot presents, the user is able to get on target quickly and accurately.

“Instead of merely making improvements to an existing product, we started with a completely new design” says Jonas Ardemalm, Director of Commercial Marketing and Sales. “As a result, the Micro H-2 takes the level of performance available from a compact sight to an entirely new level. It also provides features and performance formerly available only in much larger optics.”

The Micro H-2 can be mounted on nearly any individual firearm platform, and can be used with most existing mounts that fit the Micro H-1. The Micro H-2 can operate for up to five years of constant-on use, using just one CR-2032 battery, and is waterproof.

This booger will look great on a Scalarworks mount.

I've been running a T-2 on my SBR. I have to say that in general use ie; patrol, competition, classes. I have found no advantages over the lower price point T-1. YMMV

Well this complicates things...

I am inclined to agree with 2ATA though, I still don't really see what these "2" versions offer over the legacy version. Most people seem to be reporting being unable to tell the difference in the "better" lens.

Call me a sucker then, because I like them better. Additionally it was a mere 70 dollars difference when I purchased mine.

I was just going to ask if I was the only one who just doesn't see it? I don't have any time behind the T2 or H2 but I don't think I would give up any of my T1s or H1s. In fact, I have another T1 getting ready to ship to me right now.

I don't own one, but I have a little time behind a T2. Honestly, I don't see any improvements, than maybe the included covers. I use IO covers on my T1/H1's anyway.

Personally, I'm still waiting for the dump of T1/H1's into the secondary market. [BD]

I can't even say I like the covers. I feel that they narrow an already narrow FOV to much.

If you can't say *why* you like them better, then yeah, you're a sucker.

If you do not shoot with a magnifier or have an astigmatism there is little benefit to the 2 series, however if you do its a huge improvement especially with a magnifier.

Content is exactly what I'm after. I simply want to know *why* he likes them better. "nonsense" is posting that one likes something more than something else without explanation, or whining about not liking someone else's attitude and causing a thread-jack.

If one likes the T-2 that's his prerogative, no different than a man who prefers gingers over brunettes.Questions to other members need to be constructive towards the content of the thread.

You are doing enough thread jacking for no reason. This is a great forum with great people, please keep the GD level stuff and attacks out of it.

Be cordial and non abrasive, no worries, when you start calling people names you will be called out on it.

If you want to rephrase your question to him do so by all means.

No man prefers gingers over brunettes because ginger girls are bat shit crazy. LMAO

But I do prefer my Comp4's over my T-1's so I have little interest in the T-2's.

Very true, but a ginger done right like Christina Hendricks is hot.

I personally like a larger FOV than the Micros offer. My current favorite RDS is my SRS02.

When the T2 and ACO came out the price on the T1 and PRO actually went up.

AIMPOINT LAUNCHES NEW MICRO H-2 HUNTING SIGHT
New sight provides additional features and enhanced performance for hunters

Aimpoint, the originator and world leader in electronic red dot sighting
technology for forty years, has announced the addition of the new Micro H-2 sight to the company’s
commercial product line. The Micro H-2 will be available for shipment in August 2015, and will be offered
alongside the company’s existing Micro H-1 product.

Since its introduction in 2007, the Aimpoint Micro sight has become a popular hunting sight worldwide
due to its lightweight and compact size, durability, and extremely long battery life. Product reviews with
hunters and sport shooters identified a series of desired product enhancements that have now been
added to this new product. These changes include: a new sight housing which allows the addition of
front and rear protective flip covers, additional physical protection for the sight’s adjustment turrets, and
increased ruggedness for the sight’s internal electronic components.

The most significant developments in the Micro H-2 however, are the advanced optical lenses that allow
for even better light transmission and provide a noticeable increase in the clarity and performance
properties of the sight. This ensures a more distinct and clearer dot in all conditions and situations.
“The Aimpoint Micro has become the worldwide standard for compact reflex sights” says Matt Swenson,
Vice President of Sales. “With the sight’s new design, the Micro H-2 takes the level of performance
available from a compact sight to an entirely new level.”

The Micro H-2 can be mounted on nearly any rifle, shotgun, handgun or crossbow, and can be used
with most existing mounts that fit the Micro H-1 including the Blaser saddle mount. The sight can also
be mounted to a larger magnified scope with a 30mm or 34mm scope adapter giving the hunter ability
to hunt at both short and long distances while providing faster target acquisition. The Micro H-2 can
operate for up to five years of constant-on use, using just one CR-2032 battery, and is waterproof.
