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.
