Has anybody noticed any actual benefit from using the new green reticles? I've heard that there is supposed to be a benefit but I wanted to hear people's input.
Thanks -32 |

I assume you are referring to the green reticles on the ACOGs. Browse down the site a bit and look at comments related to the TA33-GH. Deemed better than red and amber in some light conditions by a number of folks. I ordered one on Tues but won't get it until tomorrow so I can only refer you to the experience of others.

Also people who are color blind in the red spectrum like myself, find that Red reticules during the day, can easily be lost. I hate my aimpoint at time because of my eyes! Green on the other hand is the complete opposite for me....It is very bright. "Damn your eyes!"

The simple answer is that your eye is more receptive to green light |

Thanks -32 People talk out of their asses all the time about the latest and greatest "color on the block" because they want to convince themselves that the new scope that they just bought with the new reticle color is superior to everyone elses. Trijicon acually commissioned a study from a major university to determine which color the human eye picked up the best. The winner in that study; amber. (I personally can't stand amber reticles.) Everyone's eyes are different, so you need to look through the scopes with different colored reticles yourself to see which is best suited for your needs. For an objective look at the green and red reticles in the Trijicon TR-24 scopes, see the pictures below. The first picture shows the reticles in complete darkness. The second picture shows the reticles with only the light from the weapon mounted Surefire X300.

I remember reading that before and after looking thru an amber TR24 i really had a hard time with it.It just dont stand out like red or green. |
