Is the Micro T-2 by Aimpoint Compatible with Standard Red Dot Optic Parts?
Woody's answers are based on published federal and state law. Not legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney for your specific situation.
Yes, the Micro T-2 uses the standard Aimpoint Micro footprint and works with common mount systems like LaRue LT660, ADM, and Scalarworks mounts.
How This Affects Your Sight Picture
The T-2's compatibility with the established Aimpoint Micro mount pattern means you can use existing mounts and accessories from multiple manufacturers. This standardization gives you flexibility in choosing mount height, cant, and manufacturer without being locked into proprietary systems.
The Detail
The Micro T-2 follows Aimpoint's established Micro footprint standard, which has become one of the most widely adopted mounting patterns in the red dot market. This means you can drop it onto any mount designed for the Micro pattern without modification or adapters.
Your mounting options include established manufacturers like LaRue with their LT660 system, ADM mounts, and Scalarworks among others. The base model ships without a mount, so you'll need to source one separately based on your specific rifle setup and height requirements.
The optic itself weighs 3.0 ounces and runs on a single CR2032 battery that delivers 50,000 hours of runtime on setting 8. You get 12 total brightness settings with 8 daylight and 4 night vision compatible settings. The 2 MOA dot provides 1x magnification for both eyes open shooting.
Build considerations include the T-2's submersible rating to 80 feet and its position as the higher-end sibling to the Micro H-2. The standardized footprint means you can upgrade or change mounts later without replacing the entire optic system.
Build Impact
You can confidently choose from dozens of mount manufacturers and styles knowing the T-2 will fit properly. The separate mount purchase actually gives you more flexibility to match your specific rifle setup and shooting requirements.
