Not a lot of hype around this scope. It must be the best kept secret of the shooting world. No other red-dot offers this sharp visibility in bright daylight. It is rugged. It is solid. It's made in the USA and Trijicon Customer's Service is second to none. The chevron reticle is both quick and accurate. I consider this 1x scope to be better than the offerings by the two leading brands. You won't be disappointed.

I have this sight mounted on an AK47 using an Ultimak rail. This is my SHTF/Last ditch weapon. I really like the durability of this sight and the fact it does not require batteries. This sight does washout when using it in a dark area and looking into a bright area but that is its one and only falt.

Providing battery backup illumination to compensate for reticle washout (the bane of all Reflex-type optics depending upon tritium and fiber optics for reticle illumination) is an excellent idea.

Unfortunately, the battery type used is expensive and uncommon, battery life is very poor, the fiber optic collector glows at night when using the battery backup (unless the provided fiber optic collector cover is in place) and the tritium is so dim as to be nearly unusable (supposedly for night vision compatibility).

However, I loved the chevron reticle and daytime performance and if Trijicon would brighten the tritium and replace the current battery with a more common CR123 or AA then I'd seriously reconsider it.
