What's the thought on the lack of caps on the wind/elev adjustments.....?

That doesn't help, if you're too far off-axis for the dot to be visible. The whole point of having a larger objective is that it makes the dot visible over a wider range of viewing angles - and thus improves your chances of quickly finding it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Really, it's the licensing, regulation, storage, EPA requirements, army of lawyers and second army of security. Very little actual tritium is needed for an ACOG. Solely by the value of the tritium itself, it has to be less than $25. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I read that the MSRP was going to be right around $500 but would likely be found for the mid $400's once they have been on the market for a little while. If true, I'll give one a try. That seems ridiculously cheap for a Trijicon product. IIRC even their 1.5x ACOGs are around 1K. Tritium is expensive.

Excellent concept, poor execution. Non-std battery w/poor service life, very dim tritium (supposedly for nv compatibility) and the fiber-optic collector glows at night when the battery is being used. Brighten the tritium and go to a CR123 or AA battery and I would reconsider the Tri-Power (but Trijicon's not going to do that, I've already asked).

Tomac Exactly. I also suggested a "duo-power" with just higher brightness tritium and the fiber optic and delete the battery system entirely for a lower priced unit. Could even go back to the plastic housing for a budget model. The chevron aiming point and usability for those with astigmatism, as well as its potential for use without electronics would have netted it some sales if it would have just been more usable. That and it was just priced too high to be competitive. I've mentioned before that the useful life of tritium is barely longer than the useful life of an Aimpoint battery, and it's a whole lot easier to change an Aimpoint battery when the time comes. Trijicon seems to make many of their products to fish for military contracts (in both design and pricing) and aren't really that interested in pursuing commercial sales opportunities for them. This MRO, with the pricing mentioned in this thread, looks like potentially a winner for the consumer market. I don't own a small Aimpoint, with the high cost and limited field of view I've just stuck with the M3/ML3 types, but this one interests me. |

Confirmation from a distributor is showing MSRP at like $579. So street price may just be around $500. I am getting the first one I see at that price. It is Trijicon, they aren't going to put out junk especially going up against the outstanding aimpoint.
