How To Spot A Fake: Aimpoint T2

[@Whitetail1982]

With the amount of knockoffs flooding every market now, I only buy from a select few AD or the manufacturer. Saving a few dollars isn't worth it to me to ensure I get a genuine product. BTO is A+ too.

Thanks!

The battery compartment says it all

Can you also review how the red dots differ between the fake and authentic products? Does the fake one function for a short or longer time?

[@JamesReedy]

Prob very similar. Where it’s likely to fall apart is stability of the zero, ability to track adjustments (not that you dial a red dot much) and have little to no lash.

does the box not come with a serial number that matches the one in the optic?

[@JamesReedy]

Base, “substantial weight difference” about 10% (more like 20% that’s why it feels substantial) Optic, “little to no weight difference” also about 10% Dunno made me chuckle…judging weight in hand can be tricky.

So after watching that here is what I got out of it. There is not that much difference between the fake and genuine. Almost thought dude wants me to buy the fake one.

He didn't even look through it. Waste of time.
