Why oh why could they not put a damn circle around that dot?

I'd maintain, repair, and operate it real hard but would you RUN it? You have to RUN something like that on the rifle that you RUN. If prices are low enough, I'd be interested in one to put on my (sometime in the hopefully not too distant future) AK SBR or something like that. But I expect that you'll pay $300 or so for the optic and another $700 for the "Trijicon" stamped on the side of it. |

So question, where does one mount mini optics on the upper? I always see them mid way down, wouldn't it be better closer to the eye? Wouldn't bringing it close to your face increase perceived FOV?

If MSRP does turn out to be $500, Aimpoint just lost the market in that size class.

25mm is an improvement, but still puts it in the same class as the old RX01.
Offer a 42mm version like the RX30, and I'd be a lot more interested. |

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.

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. |

That seems ridiculously cheap for a Trijicon product. IIRC even their 1.5x ACOGs are around 1K. Their 1.5X ACOGs have the same number of parts, lenses of optical glass, prisms, ect as their higher magnification optics. This is much simpler. So, common sense says they should be cheaper, but if Aimpoint can charge 700 bucks for a T1, I don't see Trijicon undercutting Aimpoint that much price wise, if they don't have to. |

Hey everybody, stickman showed up The Djinn made me do it... Ok, maybe it was the Gin. Either way, I'm curious as to who has hands on this beastie, and who is just making guesses. I can see from the link provided that the other board has already posted information, and someone here did as well. It sounds like the factual side of things is that it is larger than a T1 in FOV but smaller than a typical 30mm (looks like 25mm). The other part sounds like dealers are saying "around" $500 street price, which means to me we should see MSRP around $599, and a street price of $525ish. If it was $500 or less, the dealer who was posting probably would have been touting that part. Waterproof to 100 feet. 5 years of use being left on (same as aimpoint) Everything I've seen from Trijicon has been rock solid, so if this works out with a low price, and slightly larger view, 5 year life, and waterproof, I think they have a winner. If they change the price, or dealers start charging Aimpoint prices, I think they will find slow sales as Aimpoint already has a strong foothold in this market... Kinda like if Aimpoint started to make 4x scopes they would have a hard time. . |

I notice in all the pics they show the large front objective but not one pic shows the smaller rear lens.
Anyways - I'll let others beta test. At best it's as good as an aimpoint but without the decades of use and street cred. They need to price it under the Aimpoints to get a foothold. Trijicon has hit it out of the park (ACOGs) but they have also had some less successful offerings as well (tripower, SRS). I've never dealt with them but I also understand trijicon has "meh" customer service when it comes to civilian sales these days. |
