Aimpoint Announces the T2 Optic
Thanks to our friends at Gear Scout for breaking the news.
Aimpoint has announced the T2 Optic. The T2 is an updated version of the much loved T1. Updates include a protective housing, front and rear protective covers (think iOCover), and protection for the sight adjustment turrents. Aimpoint also says the internal electronics will be more rugged, as well as a new front lens and new reflective coating.
No need to go out an buy new mounts as the T2 will work with all existing T1 compatible mounts. The T2 will continue to use a CR2032 battery with a 5 year life. No word on yet if it will be a 2 MOA or 4 MOA dot.
Aimpoint will continue to offer the T1 along with the T2. Personally, I'm hoping for PRO type pricing on the T1, while the T2 occupies the previous price point of the T1. You'll have some time to save up for this optic, as they are scheduled to be released in September. We'll update this post as more information and full specs are released. Checkout Aimpoint here to keep updated.

Nice! Love my T1. They should have bought IO Cover and used that instead. I think it's a better solution than flip-up caps.

I'd probably take the caps off. Maybe this will cause a large amount of used T1s to hit the market at a decent price.

Definately looking forward to a T1 price drop. Hopefully I can get two for the price of one

I finally finished the Adam Arms "Voodoo" Ultra Lite upper today, and besides breakdown for cerakote and hydro dip, all it needs is an Aimpoint T1 or H1. My friend pulled one off of his, and the weight of the rifle is unreal light. I was going to order a T1 or H1, but it looks like we might have some price drops coming up? Man, I hope so, wouldn't mind seeing the T! and T2 cause a price drop in the H1.
Hope this all comes fast....

Looks like I'll be waiting on that T-1 purchase. Hopefully I can snag a used one cheaper or like previously said we get pro pricing.

I think it's pretty obvious based on every discussion thread I've read online so far about the T2 optic is that everyone is excited more about the possibility of a T1 price drop. That and the excited people hoping for blow out deals on used T1's.
I hope Aimpoint is paying attention and is able to offer PRO like pricing on T1's. Obviously dropping the price to PRO levels would kill the market on PRO's, but I could see a senario where they have a $500 MSRP and a $450 ish street price. I don't think Aimpoint will cease T1 production as they keep cranking out M3's and ML3's despite PRO's dominating the market with the same/or better features in the case of the ML3.
Should be an interesting fall when these are released!

I don't really think they (T2's) will kill the P.R.O., UW. I know a lot of people who prefer the larger optics and lenses over the T1 or H1. Some not only consider the lens's and "view" are too small, unless mounted close to the upper, I've met several that think the diminutive size make them less "battle tough" than the P.R.O. I disagree with that, but I do like my P.R.O.'s and ML3. I've borrowed my buddies T1 a time or two, and just found it to be a good fit. And now that the "Voodoo" Ultra Lite gun is pretty much finished, I want to top it with an ultra lite red dot.
So, I don't think the PRO's will be killed off, and I wish they'd hurry up and get this thing going so I can see that hopeful major drop in price on the T1's or H1's. Wishful thinking I guess.
