Yesterday, at the Dallas gun show, a dealer was selling the Israeli Tri-lux scopes. Of course they do not have the tritium in them and it has been replaced with an LED.They mount on an AR carry handle and are 4 power. Does anyone have experience with these? Here's a link. Tri-lux scope WKM |

I have an unissued British TriLux SUIT scope on my A2. It still has the tritium but the half life is past so the brightness is next to none, although on a fully dark room or night you see a faint red glow. I really like this sight and I have hit 18" metals at 500 meters out of my 16" HBAR. |

Price Good $129.95 Excellent $169.95 LED Illuminator $20.00 AR15/M16 Mount $25.00 so what does the good -vs- excellent mean? is there an extra charge for the ar15 mount since in the description it states included? i wonder what the total would be with the illuminator installed with shipping? |

I went over there today and they really don't sell out the door but do sell over internet, mail order and at gunshows. It appears to me that the AR mount is part of it but the illuminator is extra. I would call them to be sure. The price is cheaper at gun shows than ordering, though I can't imagine why. WKM |

got mine today and time for eval.. cons: 1. the inverted pointer is not solid. I can move the access spot on top and it moves the needle in the optic and change where it is pointing. i could only imagine after firing some rounds thru it how far it will move. 2. The sight will not co-witness with any reddot since it sees out the side. 3. Carry handle mount does not have a hole to cowitness with iron sites 4. The placement of the scope on the picatinny mount and the carry handle mount id dif by about 1.5" Pros: 1. Clear optic in my opinion 2. I ordered the "GOOD" one and it is very good shape. I would consider it in an 8 out of 10 on looks 3. They told me I had a choice of the flattop mount or carry handle mount and I wanted the flattop. Well they sent me both and didn't charge me extra. 4. Very well packed and shipped fast. Ordered it monday had it wed. |
Umm NO magnified optic will cowitness. You can't use irons through a telescope (notice it's kinda hard to see the front sight clearly?) Not to mention the Trilux is overly heavy for the job. Also, because the lens is to the side it makes zeroing at the near zero problematic as it means the round will be drifted far to the other side downrange at the far zero (and beyond).
FYI you are not "cowitnessing" if you are looking through the mount. |
