    The Micro T2 features an improved optical design. The 2nd front lens from Aimpoint’s dual-lens design is now slight angled. Aimpoint told me that the new feature helps to reduce flares and also focuses the dot more precisely.

    The new Aimpoint ACO is defers from the popular Aimpoint PRO in two areas. The ACO uses a 2-oz lighter mount with a simple slotted nut mount. It also has the low profile turret and cap design that comes from the Aimpoint CompM4. Aimpoint said that may adds the low profile turrets to the PRO model too.
