Dan, to add to my last post. I have a RR entry tactical rifle 16.5" barrel. If that helps. Pretend you have my rifle using it in the above scenario.

if you jumped straight to the third page, go to the second first to see my response about price

I personally would run the Eotech XPS-2 for $459.

Thank you for ur .02. I appreciate it. That said if I went with Eotech im leaning toward the 552. My reasoning is the batteries. Much easier to come by and cheaper. They also last longer.

Hey go with whatever works for you.

Here's my 1 cent. Unless you plan on using NV, why not go with the 512?

I'm IN the city (4 miles from downtown), and I'm running the Trijicon RX30 on BOTH my AR's.



Partly because of astigmatism, partly because of the saved weight (no packing around extra batteries for the optic - it's ALL fiber optic & tritium!), but mostly because the optic is BIG, the dot is too (6.5 MOA), and I'm lights out at 100 yards, which is a LONG range shot in the city, anyways!

Works great with Troy BUIS, btw.

The reason people have both EOtech and Aimpoint is because they are both good sights and good for different reasons. I have more than one EOtech and like them because you pick up the target and reticle fast. The Aimpoint is tough and as has been noted, the battery life is super long.

12131: In thinking about it, I will end up with NV, just not right away. I'm trying to plan ahead I suppose.


The War Wagon: How do you like the tritium at night? I heard it can be somewhat dim?

Cool!


Obviously, I'm not TWW, but basing on my Trijicon Reflexes in the past, the tritium at night is very good. It's the bright daylight that washes it out. However, that can easily be solved by the polarizer. I don't know if the new Reflex model that TWW has comes with the polarizer, but the older models do.

What is a polarizer?

They filter out the sunlight (in effect).



TS

He asked between the Trijicon and EoTech...so I told him I prefer the EoTech over the Tri-Power, seeing as I have more trigger time with the EoTech over the Tri-power. These were his original two optics that he had asked about.

If he asked which optic(any) that I trust all the time, it would be my Comp M4.

Hope this helps with the confusion.

jchtrh: You quoted my question on battery life but forgot to answer it? If you could answer it that would be great! Also what quad rail, light and vfg do you have? It looks nice!

Sorry, I figured since G answered, I left it at that. Mine last about the same, I left it on full brightness for about 5 Days and then it went dead. I have not tried it on a lower setting, but I do leave it off all the time.

Which picture are you referring to about the rail, light and VFG? I don't want to tell you the wrong one.

The one in your signature. Pictured every time you post something.

thx

That is a ARMS 50 MCV, with an Elzetta Flashlight mount, Gladius Flashlight and an Ergo QD Stubby VFG.

Very nice. thats very clean looking.

Does anybody know anything about elcan scopes?

Good stuff if you are willing to shell out the coin....
