I played with one at the NRA show and really liked it. Guess I'll have to pony up and get one.

Jeezus these are expensive!! The solar feature puts it in a class by itself, in my humble opinion. I really do see this as a potential SHTF optic, just like the ACOG. If the SRS proves its durability in the future, which I have no doubts it will, it very well may be the best option for a SHTF optic, next to the ACOG. Time will tell. I keep playing with my SBR, and the SRS is definitely a quality optic. I do think that you very well could put the SRS in a class all by itself, due to the Solar Cell. |

Jeezus these are expensive!! The solar feature puts it in a class by itself, in my humble opinion. I completely agree, but at the over 1k price point (ive seen it on sale for like $7-something) its still a few hundred more than proven red dots. If it does come down, then it will definitely be worth a comparison. Not ever having to worry about battery life is a huge plus. (at least as long as theres a sun ) |

Does the glass have any blue or color tint to it when looking through it?

MSRP for the thumbscrew is $990 and $1075 for the QD. I got my QD version from Primary Arms for $830, and they have the standard thumbscrew for $769. A Comp M4S from LaRue w/ QD mount is $746. For less than $100 more, you still get a QD mount, but also get battery-free operation. |

For less than $100 more, you still get a QD mount, but also get battery-free operation. You got me there. I havent research the SRS much but I remember seeing it starting at the $1k mark. ETA: Aimpoint T-1/H-1 2 MOA are $640/600 respectively with LaRue mount(I dont know if the SRS is NV capable or not). EOtech XPS 3/2 is $675/581 respectively with LaRue mount, so those come in a couple hundred less than the SRS, and are models Id much prefer over the M4S... |

The SRS is NV capable. I believe it has 3 or 4 NV settings.

By the looks of it, it doesn't seem that the SRS is trying to compete with the T1. It seems like its gunning for the M4 and M4S optics.

I can only hope that this solar technology they're using in this makes it into the ACOGs. That would be too cool. :)

So, on my plane ride today, I was thinking- how badass would the SRS be with the new EOTech G33 Magnifier?
Anyone with a G33 wanna loan it to me so I can tell ya'll? 
I don't wanna buy the G33 yet, as I'm not sure if it will work with the SRS........however, the SRS's Bobro mount is a 1/3rd co-witness. The new G33 has a HUGE ocular......which from the little bit I've read, people are saying the FOV is very nice.....seems like the G33 would go really nice with the SRS. |

Mine from Primary Arms arrived last night. I think we got lucky as it looks like PA along with all the others are back to MAP pricing. It's mounted but no range time yet. Popped up my BUIS and it was perfectly co-witnessed. Going to do a laser bore sight tonight and see just how close it is. Should zero up very quickly. Clicks are 1/2 MOA if anyone was curious.

That is a consideration....genrally speaking...the more complicated a thing is the greater the chance of something failing....if the electronics are as robust as the Aimpoint's....then no problemo... it's gonna be a better option for some folks. |

Unlike the OP, I can't get mine to light up indoors under artificial lights. Even a bright flashlight. Actually I haven't tried it in the sun yet either so maybe mines just a dud. :p
Hate the elevation screw being right in front of the ocular. Also hate that the screws are scalloped for a small coin yet the ever so popular nickle wont fit. Also, any coin will not work on the elevation screw because the coin will hit the ocular ring of the body. The two buttons being held down to power down is rather annoying. And the 2 sec lag to power on is even more annoying. Powering it down, you can accidentally hit one of the buttons first and change the brightness so that it's on the wrong setting when powered back up. I guess I can just leave it on forever tho. Otherwise, thing is awesome. Very sturdy and less things to snag than a CCO. 8oz heavier than my CCO as well. Bu the FOV more than makes up for it. |

The caveat to the SRS - it still needs a battery to turn on, it seems. However, after turning it on, I am able to take the battery out, and the optic still be on under an incandescent lamp. |
