So, especially in the "macho" magazines it will take a while for the industry to adjust. If you look at the magazines that cater more to the hunting or Skeet/Trap/Sporting clays, I think while they've never had ad's that could really be called "offensive", they've made the transition to a "family oriented" publication(s).

    On an related aside, I'm out of shooting for at least a short while until the doctors figure out what's wrong with my shoulder, I went to the club the other day, just to meet some guys and watch some trap shooting and five stage, I was both surprised and pleased to see about 7 to 10 young girls in their early to mid teens there with their dad's to learn to shoot Trap. I'd bet one of these young ladies will get serious and be kicking some serious butt in a few years.

    Anyway, until the numbers, especially in the tactical arena, of women start growing significantly, you'll just have to deal with the testosterone fueled magazine ads, but my guess is that they'll start changing a bit in the not so distant future.

    Awe sorry about your shoulder, I hope you get it all figured out soon.

    As far as the ads go I can't wait to see the day. I love that I can go to Rainier Arms website and not have to worry about that crap. Phase 5 is legit as well. Their products sell itself and the customer service is top notch at both, I am a forever customer for sure.

    To a certain extent, cheesier products use cheesier advertising. Find good products/companies, less cheese (in every way).

    Looks like the early talk on this optic is, Aimpoint is positioning the T2 as their premium optic, and the price of the T1 won't drop. If the T1 does drop, it will be a very small amount. No pricing has been given so far.

    Stay tuned.

    I figured this to be the case right from the beginning. Why would Aimpoint drop prices when customers will shell out the coin for the current H1 and T1? Makes sense to me that the T2 will come in around $75 more than the T1. Time will tell.

    I chose the H1 for my first Micro two years ago and have been completely satisfied with the purchase. The addition of the iO cover was icing on the cake.

    I bought a "LNIB" H1 and am perfectly happy with it. The T1 plus a detachable mount just wasn't worth the money, for my needs. I doubt the T2 will be any different, as far as me wanting one, unless I came upon another once in a lifetime deal.

    I never did buy into the theory that the price of the P.R.O would drop, since they are apples to oranges. So I wondered if the T1 would just disappear and the T2 would be the standard bearer. I guess I was wrong on that count. It's apparent that Aimpoint believes there is room for both a T1 and a T2, at least for now.

    There's nothing here to say that the price of the PRO won't drop. I think it still will within the next year. I think the real value of that optic is $350.

    I'm disappointed to see that the H1 won't become the "PRO mini". A 2MOA H1 at $400 would be a good market filler. There's a big gap in price between the H1 and the next closest fakepoint.

    Looks great!

    I'll echo every one else on the hopes of a cheaper T1 though lol
    Let my last thought not be, "if only I had my gun..."

    I'm just speculating here, but my prediction is the first 2-3 months the T2 is out, the price of the T1 wouldn't vary. It wouldn't be until the market is flooded with T2's and Aimpoint has quite a few T1's just sitting on store shelves gathering dust that the price of the T1 will begin to fall appreciably.

    I'm hoping they do the H1 like they did the R1.
