| I was thinking of picking up a Trilux. SUIT I think? Look like a nice compact package for one of my carbines. Any one running this set up on there carry handle? Any info would be greatly apreciated. |
| I've heard they where decent, sturdy minute-of-man optics back then before the age of ACOG's and see-thru red-dots. It would probably be great for a retro build or a budget with quality build. I've contemplated htem, though for the price it either seems more prudent to get a decent red-dot (some are nearly 250-300, while the 100 or so ones make me leary of it being broken with no way to repair it). Also remember most will have illumination provided by a small LED since the glowing element in it couldn't be imported due to its radioactive nature (not that you couldn't just drop a vial of tritium in there in an acrylic setting from a night-sight replacement kit). |
| Had one for a while, then sold it as part of a trade. It's not light at all, despite what it looks like in the photos. It's built like the proverbial brick shithouse, and I found that it really unbalanced my rifle, and it's really rather tall, so mounting it on the carry handle is going to give you ferocious neck strain. I say skip it - there's better options out there. |
