Good value ? good scope ? or just a bust for Trijicon ?

Anyone got any feedback on these ? I'm thinking about picking one of these up and don't want to shell out $800.00+ for an Acog.

I had one. If you gave me one right now, I would give it back.

They are making a new model which should be out sometime next year.

For a company that puts out the ACOG and the Accupoint, how could they have screwed up as bad as they did with this one?

I have no personal experience with one, but it seems that NO ONE here has anything good to say about the Tripower.

ditto and +1

i had one, sold it. its a good idea...and the chevron reticle is superior to the Aimpoint dot IMHO. But daylight washout was a BIG issue, even under battery power, and the plastic housing left much to be desired.

I have high hopes for the second Generation tripower. i hope it doesnt disappoint.

The new Tripower has resolved the wash out / red haze.
I've been checking it out VERY carefully,my dealer had 6 in stock now all gone.
NV compatible no batteries needed as with any Trijicon.
THEY HAVE RESOLVED the gen 2 problems comes complete with a mount cym sticks ect ect

I'm waiting to read a few more opinions on them, especially from those that had the previous versions.

That's not correct. The new model will be out sometime in the fall per Trijicon, so that means look for it after the New Year. The new model will also be metal not plastic. I was told this direct from Trijicon.

They have several issues with the Tripower that need to be fixed.

Boom is right...When i say "second generation" i am speaking of the REDESIGN of the Tripower, which has NOT Been released yet.

I see that the link posted by JPC does indeed say 3rd generation, but it is the same Tripower that everyone here is disappointed with.

I came real close to trading my Aimpoint M2 for a TriPower about six months ago and I am glad the guy thought TP was made out of gold. The trade didn't work out. I have also seen the ad at Cals but if you go to Trijicon's website it specifically says soon to be released, or something real close to that.

I must be blind because the ole haze at 2 oclock ain't in this one.The alum tube must really be plastic . What I have in my hand must be a figment of my imagination.

5-0,,, 6 months is a long time

Must be another no such assessory thingy

the tube was aluminum from the very first generation model. the rest of the housing, however, was plastic.

mine never had any haze either. but that didnt make it an acceptable optic.
