Aimpoint T2 Micro: The Best Red Dot Sight

[@horseman1956]

I've seen the comments suggesting that your reviews are sponsor biased. It's a petty and unwarranted allegation that is disrespectful of the time and energy required to create a good quality review. That said, I was glad to hear your message that you simply do not review products you don't like. Personally, I believe there is value in reviews that present the good, the bad and the the ugly, but your position explanation is reasonable. It is an explanation you might repeat in future videos to assure your audience fully understands that position. Another option would be to include that explanation in your video caption summary. Nice review of the Aimpoint T2. Another product that demonstrates the old adage, "you get what you pay for".

[@blahblahblahdyblah8713]

A very informative and detailed vid. I was on the fence but your video has sold me on this red dot. Much appreciated!

[@liesejunh]

I love your reviews soot00! Don't listen to any of these guys telling you to not give thumbs ups; You do what you want brother.

[@aew0aew0]

The t1 does has NV compatibility. The H-series are the ones without nv. Great Vid.

[@TheJCP006]

Great video. Thought the Trijicon MRO was a game changer per your review of that red dot. The 25mm objective makes it not look like a tube and the sight adjustments are recessed so no caps to lose. I went with the Trijicon MRO on an American Defense QD mount. Either way, Aimpoint or Trijicon, you can't make a mistake.

[@wingzero6777]

That music is epic for the Aimpoint!! Aimpoint RULES!!!

[@doro19]

I purchase an Aimpoint micro H1 several years ago. Back then, it was nearly six hundred bucks. I like it, but money is an issue and these are just too expense. The Aimpoint Pro is my choice for my duty carbine while the Primary Arms Advanced Micro sits on several of my HD carbines.

[@shiro-r4m]

I just noticed you're creeping up on half a million, congrats ^-^

[@sootch00]

Thanks Brother

[@jimeakin9019]

sootch00 n

[@Bitter_Blueberry]

Way more now :)

[@dougintheoutdoors7928]

Hey Sootch, always love the reviews and certainly appreciate you putting your videos together. You are a great part of the community both in the gun world and here on KZbin. Thanks for all you do, keep it up!

[@billycrumpton9697]

I like your outtakes, they are always funny. Keep up the good work on the reviews.

[@jerridgossett62]

Hey Sootch00, just wanted to say thanks for all ya do! I appreciate it,WE appreciate it. Keep doing videos I'll keep watching, learning and applying. God bless

[@davispinner6642]

Thanks for the super close up of the red dot. I was able to see how crisp the dot is. Now I feel confident in buying a magnifier

[@acemace3618]

I used to hate magnifiers because I thought they made red dots really fuzzy. Turns out I was just using crappy cheap red dots as it wasn't until I tried an aimpoint t2 that I realized the red dot is super crisp and using a magnifier is much more pleasant

[@southernviking3113]

brought to you by Aimpoint

[@Dr1Paul]

Its not very often that you see someone left-handed like your friend. Good job

[@kimberwarrior2]

Can you make a review on the aimpoint 6x magnifier?

[@apb2887]

I honestly like my trijicon MRO more than my H-2. I'm not saying aimpoint is junk by any means, because it is not. However I am saying that when you factor in price, the on/off dial on top, no caps for the elevation and windage dials and the bigger objective lens I think the MRO is the winner.

[@TimKollat]

agreed, the MRO is the better (and less expensive) option

[@KetemaHarris]

I would love to see a review on the Leupold LCO. I have one and I love it, but it does not get compared or reviewed.

[@daisyhilldude1]

Thanks for such a comprehensive review, I will buy an H 2 for my new .44 magnum super Redhawk after a fair bit of research

[@R0mans13]

Just ordered one of these lol awesome

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Just received by foam rest in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to try it but I don't have time for a few weeks to get to the range.

[@dopefree123]

i dig your reviews and trust your judgement on new gear! don't listen to the haters, sootch! "👍🏻 way up!" is your signature stamp of approval. i've purchased many products based on your honest opinions. please bring back "👍🏻way up!" in your reviews. GOD bless! 👍🏻

[@vincenteddings4108]

Screw the guys who want negative reviews; who wants to know about a product with lackluster performance. Great show, and yeah, Aimpoint is worth it!

[@kumarsalib722]

Every product has drawbacks. Some of us want higher fidelity than two thumbs up.

[@phadeon]

Thank you for this review. I bought it and love it.

[@avardcurt2658]

👍👍 always! OP has the T2 with the skeletonized mount on 2 month back order. Well Crap! I hate waiting!!! Great review, keep em coming!

[@BlackdogADV]

Good job Sootch! It's taken me a bit of time to buy into the Aimpoint thing as I was always looking for a cheaper alternative. I just bought a Comp M4 and I'll be adding a micro soon.

[@davemaurer6379]

sootch00 you have the best reviews anywhere!!

[@cameronallen5043]

I love that kinetic mount. Time to ditch my Daniel defense mount. Mine came with a front clear cover but I've noticed a lot online having both black and a clear

[@neonpaintsplash]

I bought mine from Larue a week ago and it came with black and clear.

[@joefair4139]

Sootch, This is a little off topic but how about following Robbie to one of his three gun competitions so we can see what that is all about? Thanks foe the great reviews. Love your channel.

[@TheFacelessMan82]

My dream AR setup is a Daniel Defense DDMV11 in brown with the Aimpoint Micro t-2 with a larue QD mount, a good 3x flip to side magnifier and Troy flip up tritium iron sights. After I finish up my dream AK build (Vepr conversion 762x39) The AR build will begin!

[@AncientMorbidity1991]

How's your dream AR build?

[@jimmycapps7263]

The next day after buying my t2 i went to the range to sight it in. Well i forgot to zip up my rifle bag and when i pulled it out of my car the rifle fell out and landed onto the t2 and after my some what panic i wipped it of with my finger's and it still looks brand new. This Show the durability and where your money is spent!

[@georgetreepwood1119]

another great review --Thanks

[@tonya.rodriguez7691]

Awesome review Sootch. I’m buying one of these tomorrow. Quick question though: which ammo choice would be best to shoot out of a 14.5 inch BCM rifle, .223 or 5.56?

[@johnp1839]

Would you recommend any of the Holosun red dots that are duty reliable?

[@tk423b]

Don't listen to the haters. Keep the 👍🏽

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

It's not hating. I've been subbed to Sootch since about 2010, and in all that time I NEVER seen a "thumbs down" or even ANY criticism of products he was reviewing! When you are "trusting" someone's HONEST opinion or review of something you may be thinking about purchasing, and you've come to realize that someone NEVER criticizes or gives a product a bad, hell even a "middle" rate, you start to wonder. This is something I started to point out in the comments a while back. So I'm GLAD he addressed it! I like the guy and love the channel, but honestly, I started wondering WHY no bad reviews and seeing how much gear the guy gets! It started making sense. I stopped watching his reviews as a "trusted" reviewer, cuz I already new that he was going to talk all about its good points and give it a thumbs up. I still watched, but went elsewhere tho get what I felt were more HONEST reviews and not an "Infomercial"! So to point out he ONLY reviews what he likes helps, I guess.

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

Especially when the product being reviewed might cost a full weeks pay or more!

[@sootch00]

Thanks for hanging in there Mark. My reputation is most important so that's the change in the format. It has to be something I'm excited about to put together a review. There are always things I will mention that I don't particularly care for but most are just personal preferences. I try to stick with the features and no opinion unless it's a design flaw or poor quality. I have too many friends that buy from my recommendation and will not say anything that isn't true. But as always, watch every review you can before buying anything. Take it easy.

[@Annihilation117]

What brand sunglasses are those in the beginning of the video?And great review as always.

[@equilibrium9272]

I ended up with this same combo 7 years later.

[@dyang1982]

I always enjoy watching your videos, great information for rookies like me...

[@dynasty4851]

Finally got it off layaway! That shit is expensive! How bout when I bought this at my local gun store almost everyone wanted to take a look at it on my LWRC. That made me feel good.

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

This will be my go-to sight if I'm ever able to purchase an HK MP7...a civilian version of course.

[@smurfmaster1499]

Thanks for the review

[@1969plato]

Late to the game, I just ordered one, always been an EOTech guy but wanted to try an Aimpoint.

[@steveplantek223]

T2 definitely on my wish list probably don't need that good and optic. It's for my home defense. Shotgun but I'm a believer in quality. Buy ones cry ones. Never worry about it and I'd rather go without then. Have a lesser product so t2's on my wish list. Might use it for other weapons systems too

[@poorfarmer1234]

great review as usual👍👍

[@rwblakely]

Great review Sootch, thanks. About time for a new mouse gun, isn't it?

[@andrewdudasko5327]

Please review the new line of Sig Sauer Romeo red dot sights

[@nickl1682]

Your channel ,you do what you won't .i love the thumbs up .keep it and screw the others .this is not a government channel.

[@thequantumvacuum]

For that price, ill wait to try the CAA MH1.

[@richkestrel7416]

Sootch, please review every firearm, every optic, every bullet, and every accessory so you can give thumbs up or thumbs down. OR, keep reviewing products you like, give them a nice thumbs up, and we'll just keep enjoying your videos. :-)

[@MD-mm1zv]

Great review si. Tell me about night work through this sight WITH a flashlight. Think something from the Surefire ""Scout" series in the 1k lumen range. Crisp dot over the light? Or...what? Thanks.

[@mikedifeo8344]

As usual great vid. Thanks

[@jymmycrackcorn]

Great review. Thumbs way up

[@REPO831]

It's not new but will you review the black spider optic M0129?

[@ronstopfer2315]

Great video. After watching your video I ordered the very setup you have in your hand. Hoping it’ll be in the mail tomorrow. How about this..👍👍

[@drmaudio]

I like the thumbs up, but I get it. You give good, informative, end entertaining reviews. If that is not good enough for some, screw 'em.

[@dyang1982]

sootch00, I don't know if this is relevant but can you do a test and review on a Metrolight RDS Pro? I currently have a Aimpint Pro but would really like a larger field of view sight. I enjoy your reviews and I do end up purchasing some things you do reviews on. Thanks

[@lifescupofcoffee]

great review my brother

[@TheAndrewMARGOLIN]

I have the T1, T2 and MRO. T2 for the win

[@rayhanes1347]

Rich guy huh

[@stevenpeterson8444]

what features in particular make you choose the T2 over the MRO?

[@TheAndrewMARGOLIN]

Steven Peterson The T2 glass seems clearer with less of a green or bluish tint. The built in lens protectors are nice. I don't mind either of them. I have three separate rifles set up with T1, T2 and MRO. The top knob is nice on the mro and the large front lens is nice.

[@Blueesteel_]

I was worried about the tube effect when comparing this to the MRO....im not sure what to go with..

[@rayhanes1347]

Frankie Boots MARK is great, not a bad choice for either. Buy the one you find for the least amount

[@MrMd5555]

why didn't they make both turret caps with nipple adjustment keys on top?

[@samtaylor7800]

great review im putting that on my list to get

[@rlcarrcarr3095]

is the T2 the answer for a red dot optic for the Sig Sauer 556 classic SWAT with iron sights with diopter rear sight or the Mepro M 21

[@jasonborne5636]

parallax on aim point is off had a good zero with the dot in the middle of the glass so doing training run and shoot stand in shoot but when it came to using parallax to shoot from under cars I noticed that aim point was off by 10 in while Trijicon an EOTech we're only off about an inch although the AimPoint I relief was infinite and it did take the outside abuse that I put it through so it's a great plinking toy or target practice. that's about it. don't be pressured into buying something that doesn't really work

[@DavidMN-]

"As far as price for the Aimpoint... these guys are super quality..." haha, I think you are justifying Sootch :-) As a guy who has spent extra for quality, I totally get it. Some people can pay for "bulletproof" quality, some have to go for something else. To each their own. Beautiful sight though, got to shoot one last weekend actually on a friends Bushmaster!

[@jackuber7358]

Sootch00, thanks for another great video review. And, please ignore the nattering ninnies of negativism.

[@808Stevie]

The T-1 does have NV (Night vision) compatibility.

[@DefenderAO]

14:01 - You do get the NV with the T1. Otherwise not bad a review

[@unctarheels5612]

Sootch, so you like this red dot better than the trip icon MRO?

[@cmichael2005]

T2 VS MRO. which one is better?

[@jonbelen8636]

whats that grip on your AR? its nice looking!

[@THUNDERxX45]

I've been trying to find a good red dot, I must have some sort of astigmatism because none of them are actually dots, have any methods on fixing this? Or just focus on the target instead of the dot

[@stephenfoster1196]

Can anyone tell me the handgun at 0:36 ?

[@deathpigguitars]

Hey ignore any heat for giving thumbs up or only releasing positive reviews - the amount of time for product testing and video editing to review bucket loads of kit just so that you also have negative reviews can be prohibitive with regards to how much your subscribers enjoy your output and look forwards to more. Other reviewers release plenty of objective mixed reviews but I'm sure I'm not alone in subscribing to certain channels for the specific reason that I would like to see what products they really like rather than wade through lots of "fails."

[@Rowsd0w3r]

What kind of flip up covers you have on there?

[@yandriarce2439]

How does it compare to the eotech exps3?

[@telethom4982]

Considered the Micro years ago until I saw the price. Then promptly went to the Aimpoint PRO for my home defense Colt M4. The PRO isn't cheap at $400. I guess if I was in the military, and had a rifle with grenade launcher, etc, etc, and weight was a concern, I'd like a Micro provided by taxpayer dollars. 2 MOA dot on my PRO as well. Really dig you reviews, Sootch, but the PRO's battery life is three years. And I leave mine off most of the time. Trust me, a Micro would not make me a better shot than my PRO does. Not knocking you, Sootch, but The Aimpoint PRO is also parallax free. Can shoot VERY well with both of these 62-year-old eyes open with my PRO. I just don't get your gushing over this review. Just sayin'.

[@buletpoint]

Great video thank you, can you tell me what 22 pistol you were shooting? txs buletpoint

[@MrSottobanco]

Could it give an accurate target point out to 500 yards?

[@askloglog]

Just ordered a H2. Don't need to the NV and I won't be scuba diving with my rifle.

[@inglockwetrust8759]

@sootch00 do you have any review for the eotech exps ?

[@rctrmt]

which Kinetic mount are you showing in the video?

[@siestatime4638]

Maybe once a month you could do a quick video on the products that are "thumbs down", with a brief explanation of why. Don't waste any time on it, just give your reasons and then get out. Of course, then you'd have to deal with the hurt feelings of that product's fanboys, so you probably wouldn't gain anything. Oh, well, never mind.

[@christianvaldes3776]

have you tried the primary arms HS515CM..? seems to be the best bang for buck option out there yet i havent seen one person talk about it...? same quality aluminium as the aimpoints and trijicons much better than the eotechs in my opinion.. 50,000 hours Nd solar recharge.. red dot or circle dot options, can be found new for less than $400.. you cant beat its quality for the price tbh

[@Sharpsticks]

The T1 is NV comparable sootch?

[@chemoautotroph]

Very nice, but until I hit the powerball I'll stick to my trs25. I'd rather spend the money building another AR. Good review though.

[@BrothaNupe]

What grip is that you're using on your AR?

[@Howjadoo22]

Don't listen to the haters Sootch! They're just jealous!

[@Captured-On-Camera-Reviewer]

What you do prefer more the T2 or MRO Patrol?

[@gnutz1129]

Good review...

[@dougbower9479]

I have 5 T2's and 1 T1, the T2 is well worth the extra money.

[@neonpaintsplash]

Have you had any issues with any of your optics? Just curious.

[@alanbays4716]

Is this T1 T2 mount compatable?

[@gustavo6721]

Great video =)

[@yuriistetsenko5948]

I used the red dot Aimpoint and Holosun and, to be honest, I didn't notice much difference. Both have been in harsh conditions and remain completely intact. However, I liked the Holosun mount more. I decided not to overpay $ 500 for Aimpoint.

[@RogerBrenon]

Smart Man.

[@Powerhouse8131]

love your videos sootch!! keep up the good work, your a hell of a guy 😎

[@jozy5154]

will this fit on the soccom 16?

[@A8vscRrabbit]

I have no experience with the aimpoints. coming from the eotech side of the crowd....... would this be a good candidate for an 3x magnifier?

[@A8vscRrabbit]

i meant does the red dot.......blur....bleed.....like the old ones

[@JP-cu6su]

+A8vscRrabbit it doesn't. Theres videos on it, works great with magnifiers

[@medicmike4906]

WHAT IS THE PISTOL YOUR SHOOTING IN THIS VIDEO

[@HomeOfTheBrave1776]

rest in piss mro Notice at 12:31 he gave the same answer I gave against the mro tall turret blocks vision

[@battlebornops]

Been in the army for 3 years now and haven't seen any aimpoints on any of our rifles. Only seen trijicon so far

[@nickflanderson2658]

They switched to trijicon but adopted the aimpoint in the past

[@flyingfshsndwch]

and if aimpoint under bids they'll go back. Both'll work for you, but you'll work less for one.

[@libertytree2538]

I've been national guard infantry for 3 years. We had M68 CCOs (Comp M4) for basic at ft Benning. In unit we have mostly Acog TA31s but a few M68s

[@Slov_]

lol.... everywhere ive been in the army ive been issued Comp m4s. IDK where the hell youre being issued to only get Trijicon

[@tacticalhomestead]

when i was in we only had iron sights in BCT and AIT then we got ACOG's at the duty station RA 09 to 14

[@trevorlang1177]

This or the trijicon MRO?

[@VernSnow]

Thank you !!!

[@arphos8328]

Huh, wonder why the front cap on my T2 is solid instead of clear.
