| Dose anyone have one on there AR? with pict if you have one. What are the reviews. I see allot on Aimpoint and Eotech but nothing on these. I am thinking about selling my Eotech and getting a Reflex. I don't want a Aimpoint I had one and I want something new but I don't want to waste my money. |
| The ReFlex is nice, from what I hear they have very good reviews and the new 30mm is really nice to. Im really not sure why you are replacing you EoTech tho I mean Red dots are pretty much all the same and are made for the same job. I know if I where to go back to a red dot I would go with a Aimpoint Micro or the Trijicon Reflex.. but I am now hooked on the ACOG just cuz I do more long range shooting.. 100+ if I where doing more close range 50 yards and under I would go with one of the two for sure, I love trijicon but the Aimpoint Micro is just to awesome for me to pass.. but its up to you to pick. |

I've owned a couple of different versions of the earlier Reflex and while the concept of a batteryless optic is great I found it was too easy to get the reticle to wash out under different lighting conditions (like when using a taclight at night or when aiming from a darkened room out a window/door towards bright daylight). I recently purchased the new Trijicon RX30 and IMHO it's a great improvement over the earlier versions. The fiber optic collector is much more efficient at gathering ambient light and the tritium is very bright even when going from full daylight into total darkness w/unadjusted eyes. You can still get the RX30 reticle to wash out but it's much more difficult to do. While the RX30 is better for my needs than an Aimpoint or something similar (YMMV) I don't consider it as rugged as the Aimpoint. Here's a big thread on the RX30: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=390015 HTH... Tomac RX30 on my STG-556:  View through the RX30 at 8am w/the sun at my 3 o'clock:

Wow thats a big FOV. The color tint looks a lot like the Reflex II I had. This RX30 will for sure be my next optic purchase. I love them. |
. Ask a question and get a informed answer and facts to back it up. Thanks for the picts and link. It makes me want one more.
You're welcome. Here's where I got mine w/ARMS mount for $425 shipped: www.militarywarfighter.com/trijicon-rx30-23.html . Keep us posted!... Tomac |
