I finally got my Tripower, and so far i like it....I have not yet shot with it....only just zero'd it with my lazer boresighter.
I really dig the chevron reticle, and inside (dimly lit) the tritium shows up pretty well. The fiber optic light gatherer works well also.
It also has a slot to insert a small cyalume stick....so im not sure why they dont call it the Quad power.
1. tritium
2. fiber light gatherer
3. battery
4. back up cyalume
The drawbacks i see so far are these:
1. A lot of plastic. from the 30mm tube back, ALL plastic.
2. no flip caps...and will be almost impossible to fit aftermarket caps, due to the battery and cyalume compartment that extend all the way to the back (there is only about 1mm of round body in which to work with on the back)
3. Muzzle side signature (may be reduced with a kill flash) which brings me to the last one:
4. No Killflash available. (Aimpoint KF does not fit, i tried)
I really DO like the chevron, and i think i may prefer it to the Aimpoint style 4moa dot. I HAVE an Aimpoint M2 in the mail to me now...SO it will end up being a shoot out as to which optic wins the right to reside on my rifle.
And now back to your regularly scheduled program and WildAlaska, as he asks the pertinent questions, such as: "wheres the flash suppressor???"
