T-2, I put both on a quad railed upper receiver, with and without magnification. Having mounted the optics, let’s talk usability. But the knob on the T-2 is substantially nicer, buttery smooth with solid detents for each brightness or intensity level. The T-1 knob is solid and I never noticed anything negative about it. Another nice incremental improvement is in the rotary dot brightness control knob. Either way, using the supplied Aimpoint Micro Tool to make the adjustments is a better way to go. The only little downside here is that where both of the T-1 caps had the required nubs to adjust the windage and elevation turrets, the T-2 has only one such cap. Does that affect a tactical hunter, or home defender? Probably not, but it’s another nice incremental improvement in the design. Apparently, some end users felt like the cap on the top of the T-1 was vulnerable to impact damage so the T-2 housing now protects that cap and turret. Like a lot of other optics, both the T-1 and T-2 have their respective elevation adjustments located on the top. The covers don’t have a goofy tint as some do, so the sight is quite useful with covers closed. That said, the flip covers are a nice upgrade to the T-1 bikini cover that I’m always in fear of losing. Most people would never even notice, but if you use a magnifier (and you might after you’re done with this review) you’ll note that in order to flip those covers open you’ll need more space between the magnifier and the optic. The T-2 comes with see through flip covers attached extending the length 6mm over the T-1. At its release, the T-2 is only available with a 2 MOA dot. Two years later the option of a 2 MOA dot was put on the table. The Aimpoint T-1 was originally introduced in 2007 with a 4 MOA dot. It’s almost like having one in your own hands. But since there’s only so much you can tell without having one in your hand, I decided to do the best Aimpoint T-1 vs. The place was Dallas Safari Club, and Ljungfelt was enjoying throwing his sight across the room. In a unique opportunity, I visited with Lennart Ljungfelt, President, Aimpoint AB, Sweden, and inspected the very first pre serial number 0 prototype. I read some reviews online that were fairly vanilla leaving my thirst for knowledge unsatisfied. The T2 costs a little more, so what’s the big deal I wondered. For years the Aimpoint T1 has been the gold standard of red dot sights, so when I first got wind of a T2 in the works, I was pretty curious.
