Yesterday afternoon, my wife and I were shooting carbines, when heavy rain started. Being Alaska, we continued, both because it rains a lot, and we thought it would be good gear testing.
I was using a 30mm Comp M3 and my wife a T1. Neither of us used covers on the optics. With the M3, water was collecting and pooling inside the lip of the Aimpoint, where the T1 without much of a lip, was not collecting water. I think for that reason, we could see through it better, and the T1 seemed easier to shoot in the rain. Anyone else have experience and an opinion on a T1/2 vs 30 mm Aimpoint in these kind of conditions?
I was bummed that I had left my 6720 and RMR in the cabin, as I would have liked to tested it in the same conditions.
