Scheduled for availability in August 2015, the H-2 will be offered alongside the company’s existing H-1 as a tool for enhanced hunting performance. The new H-2 features a number of evolved characteristics, including a new sight housing to allow for front and rear protective flip covers, additional physical protection for the sight's adjustment turrets, and increased ruggedness for the sight's internal electronic components. According to Aimpoint, however, the most significant Micro H-2 developments are its advanced optical lenses. These allow for improve light transmission and are intended to provide a noticeable increase in the clarity and performance properties of the sight. Aimpoint says this will ensure a more distinct and clearer dot in all conditions and situations. Aimpoint Vice President of Sales Matt Swenson says, “The Aimpoint Micro has become the worldwide standard for compact reflex sights. With the sight's new design, the Micro H-2 takes the level of performance available from a compact sight to an entirely new level.” The Micro H-2 can be mounted on nearly any rifle, shotgun, handgun or crossbow, and can be used with most existing mounts that fit the Micro H-1 including the Blaser saddle mount. The sight can also be mounted to a larger magnified scope with a 30mm or 34mm scope adapter in order to help the hunter hunt at both short and long distances while providing faster target acquisition. Aimpoint says the Micro H-2 can operate for up to five years of constant-on use, using just one CR-2032 battery, and is waterproof.
