The Aimpoint Duty is pretty mid

The Pro is definitely a good optic. While bigger/heavier, it definitely has a retro cool factor.
I have the Duty and T2 models, but don't see $300 or more difference between the two. The duty is also much smaller and lighter than the pro, and it is very noticeable on a lighter weight AR.
All three are reliable, so it just comes to preference and budget.

I believe the T2 is better under NV (no experience). The Duty is okay but not great.
Agreed; but for about the same money I think I’d do the Sig Romeo 4 XT Pro which is supposed to be fantastic under NV.
About 6 months ago, I was about to buy the Duty. My shooting buddy has the T2 on his
SR-15 and it’s a great red dot.
I ended up going with the Sig Romeo 4XT Pro
We put his and mine side by side, and we both agree that the Sig is slightly clearer. Both have no bloom
However, the T2 does have a “cool factor”

I thought this was exaggeration since I think the last one I bought was maybe 2022, no mount, for like $650-ish, but I looked around just now and no they’re seriously $900 now with no mount. Wtf
Yeah at that point I’m paying a couple hundred more bucks and getting a 1-6 Razor. This also coming from the company that will sell you a magnifier for a grand.
Definitely not bad, just probably not as good as it could have been.I really like my duty
The PRO is still the best red dot out there for actually shooting things with a red dot. FOV and head position forgiveness when shooting on the move. People should be happy they came out with a small form factory cheaper T2 for like $400-450. I don't use gay terms like mid, but that's exactly what it is, a mid priced optic designed with everything you need for a duty/hard use gun. Expecting more than that is unrealistic.
Chris here does some of the best actual reviews on YT. He explains what the use case for it is pretty well.
I mean if you care about the opinions of un-experienced kids who have never used optics in violence than youtube is awesome.
99% of the time its the Blind leading the Blind. People too ignorant to know any better.

My duty rds models last an entire year before I swap out the battery, just like the T2. I swap batteries every year, regardless of how much longer it could last. I am surprised to see issues with the battery life by other members on this thread.
Same here. But my batteries last a year easily, so there may be some variance in the quality. Or just a lot of bad batteries out there. Who knows?I really like my duty
