I know I’m late to the party…. But just so you know, 7moa is plenty sufficient for a rifle. No, you won’t be shooting 300yards with it, but an SBR, shooting less than 150, the dot only covers 11.5” of your target. So you can easily put accurate rounds on a man sized target. I guess wether it’s sufficient or not depends on how you plan to utilize the rifle.
I'm guessing you bought it used? If not still, contact Trijicon and ask them to date it's build, by Serial#. That's if you bought it new becasue maybe it's old stock and been in storage for, uh, a decade or so. I say this all given that I confirmed mine was build about 12 months ago and I got it 9 months ago. It is Iluminated just fine in absolute pitch black, under covers and a pillow simultaneously, by Tritium and gets brighter in other situations where more and more light falls on the plastic light collector. So I yours does not light up at all in pitch black darkness, probably something is loose inside or built wrong, although I have never heard of that happening. Otherwise, the tritium vial must be way past its halflife of about 12 years I think it is, at which point, it would still illuminate, just not as bright.
Would like a comparison of the different models. I can’t decide on amber vs green or what dot size. I’ve heard the triangle is weaker but that’s the one I originally wanted. I want to know what one is brightest in the dark.
Dual illuminated is almost useless in the dark. Really hard to see. I think the green would be a touch brighter. I’d honestly skip these altogether and get a type 2 RMR. Or Holosun at this point.
Imperfect question. Green would be brighter, but orange is more visible against green foliage, unless you are in fall with orange leaves, where green would stand out and orange would then blend in.
Quite possibly the worst product Trijicon ever produced... Dot will be completely washed out with any decent weapon light. This is only an expensive range optic.
If you're running it on a 45 deg offset mount with a LPVO it's incredible
@14:08 you get to see the reticle lol
Thx buddy
Not the hero we asked for…but definitely the hero we needed lol
I was founded in 1981 also! Lol

I want this so bad but with a smaller dot.
I have one in my hands. The tritium doesn't show up in the dark and moderate light fails to light the reticle.. brand new

@@chrispewkreme green has a harsher tint than the amber. amber is actually easier to see from what i have observed
@@jpoprules23 they are discontinuing all the RMR dual illuminated sights, going to pick up one.
During a sunny day in the woods which color is brighter the green dot or the orange dot
My choice would be the green color, but that depends largely on the preference of the user (and the perception of different colors).
Imperfect question. Green would be brighter, but orange is more visible against green foliage, unless you are in fall with orange leaves, where green would stand out and orange would then blend in.
Amber dot against a green foliage background. Green dot against a red or sandy background.
Very good!
Thanks!

If you're dumb enough to run a weapon light, then buy an LED rmr
I found this out the hard way. They need triple illumination. Stick with RM07 or such for handguns.
Thanks for that insight. I was really considering it.
I’ve used this exact rmr during infantry training and it’s not as bad as you are acting. We even used it at night and seemed to have 0 issues.
