Trijicon Reflex sights and dot sizes

We’ve seen a lot of changes in recent years in regards to what optics military and Law Enforcement Officials are using.  The Trijicon ACOG is widely used in the military but it is not so much in use amongst LEO’s.  The reasons are that 4X is far more power than the average Police Officers is going to need.  That type of magnification will slow you down which decreases your changes of being the first to get hits.  I see a lot of guys running Micro Dot and Aimpoints on their CQC rifles but many complain about the same things.  Red dots are not as precises and if you have good eye sight those hazy dots can be annoying, not to mention many of them can be too large and drain batteries.

The differences between the Eotech 512 and the Eotech compact optics is significant.  And now there is a new error of Trijicon Reflex sights coming out namely the Trijicon SRS.   The SRS is a compact red dot optic that gives some serious competition to the Aimpoint.   The SRS dot is the smallest dot we’ve seen from Trijicon but we’ll give further testing out when they arrive in December.  We’ve been told they are only making about 25 of these a week and in high demand so backordering them is probable the only way you’re going to be able to acquire them for awhile.

Mounting optics on a battle rifle.

I remember hearing the phrase “don’t put glass on a battle rifle” because it was pretty common in the 1990’s to not have 308 optics that held up to what the FAL and G3 rifles were doing to them.   Many of the battle rifles that were designed in the 1950s and later did not have optics meant for them.  Optics never caught up to combat durability until probable the ACOG  came out.    Even after that the ability to properly mount something like that on an FAL or a G3 style rifle was very difficult.

DSArms still makes the best FAL in my opinion and I own several of them but I have had some issues with the mounts they sell.  After about 3000rds i had a mount come loose and it’s caused me to second guess the design.  The one thing I really like about Trijicon Rifle Scopes especially the Trijicon ACOG is that they can be much easier to mount.   The Trijicon ACOG has a mount that can be screwed on and there is no worry about the reticle turning on you.  Everything will be level right from the get go.  Loctite still has to go on everything that screwd in, but it’s nice to not have to worry about that one thing.
