They posted an Instagram story that they were in stock and I had a few friends that were able to snag one for themselves.

I wish I could have gotten one, I never got the email in stock notification either. I’ve had it preordered for months so hopefully retailers start getting more soon.

I didn’t get the email either, pisses me off because they sure did make sure we got the Christmas sale email hours after they sold out of the new ACROs.

I don't see any ability to sign up for an email alert from Aimpoint.us...

If it's in your wishlist, do they automatically send emails?

I was alerted by Scalarworks that their Acro P-2 combos were in stock.
But they were OOS when I got to the page.
Maybe they got some?

I checked the Scalarwork's site immediately after I got the same email and can confirm the P-2 with 1.57" mount was listed as being in stock for a brief time.  I didn't order one as I don't need the mount and expect the P-2 to be available soon anyway if Scalarworks already got a shipment.

I was checking for ACRO stock at EuroOptic the other day when and I discovered that Steiner recently released an ACRO lookalike called the MPS that uses the ACRO mounting footprint.  EuroOptic has them in stock now.  I am somewhat skeptical as I have had some issues with Steiner electronics in the past so I'll wait for reviews.

More choices are good.

But... why did they have to select yet ANOTHER WEIRD & HARD TO FIND BATTERY (CR1632)?!?  That is why I'm not in love with the Holosun 509T.

I'm waiting for the ACRO P2 because of several reasons, including that it uses a CR2032 Battery.

Outstanding. Whenever you get a chance, would you compare the P-2 to the T2 under those sweet sweet NODs? I'm wondering about light transmission and if there is any perceptible difference between them in their ease to acquire a sight picture. I'm trying to decide which one I would want piggybacked on a LPVO more. TIA

Speaking of Trijicon...

Has anyone heard any rumors about them jumping into the Closed Emitter RDS game?  I can't see them just sitting by while their RMR market lead is further eroded.

The only rumor I heard is that they'll be available before the P-2.

Aimpoint announced a new product which seemingly will take the entry level spot in their product lineup that the PRO currently holds.  I wonder if the button interface is going to standard going forward.  Anyway, it will be interesting to see if the AImpoint "Duty" will be widely available before the P-2.

I also heard that another big optic company will be releasing a closed emitter optic this year and Trijicon is the only one I can imagine that would be releasing it.

How many times is this that Aimpoint has missed their timeline for availability for the ACRO? I’m going to give it another 2-3 weeks and if i can’t get one I’m going to give the Steiner MPS a go.

To be fair, as far as we know Aimpoint is not covertly sacrificing quality to get the P-2 out.  It does seem to be sacrificing reputation by not hitting release dates.


Nice, a low key product announcement followed by availability within a few weeks.  The P-1 design using a ridiculously low capacity battery, the Hollywood-esce P-2 promo videos in March 2020, and the continually delayed P-2 availability makes me wonder if a different division within Aimpoint is responsible for the ACRO line.

Reasonable.  However, the MPS "13,000 hour battery life on medium" statement doesn't clarify typical usage battery life.  Is anyone running a test to see how long the MPS will run continuously on a daylight bright setting?  A 1632 battery generally has about 2.5 to 3 times the capacity of the 1225 used by the P-1, so I would hope the MPS would run for at least 6 months on a daylight bright setting.

Anyone know what Aimpoint's definition of "optical window" is? User manual states 16mm x 16mm, but looking at the sight picture, the Acro is like a window inside a window. Is the 16mm square what you can see through or the dimensions of the glass? Asking because I'm trying to size my backup irons.
