Fortis Manufacturing sent us an early production sample of their upcoming Aimpoint T1 mount.  The mount is aluminum, hard coat anodized, and well machined.  It weighs in at 32 grams, and the mount with optic is 85 grams, which keeps this nice and light, no doubt a chunk of weight was saved by keeping this a non-QD mount.  The MSRP is expected to be under $90, and a few minor tweaks will be done for the full production version.
