Reviews on the Trijicon reflex and Mini ACOGS
I have always run Eotech sights on my LWRC AR15 carbines but the optics that have turned me on recently are the TA44 Mini ACOGS. These 1.5×24 ACOGS have low magnification but the circle/dot reticle kind of reminds of the Eotech gun sight. I have never been a huge fan of the Red dot because they seem to be too blurry for my eyes and I don’t like all of that haze. For clearing houses I understand why people like them but the Trijicon Reflex sights like the RX30 are much clearer with their dot recticles than any red dot I’ve used. There is now a very small 1.75 red dot called the Trijicon SRS sight which is a sealed reflex sight. There is almost zero “tube effect” when looking through these and they take up very little space on your rail. I still run a quad rail and have not jumped on the Magpul MOE yet but this is important to me.
There is so much to accessorize about the AR15 now but that is a good thing since all of us have different arm lengths and different tolerances of weight. Several of the new Trijicon Reflex sights like the Trijicon SRS01 and SRS02 are ground breaking optics with their solar/battery powered red dots. I would like to see something more along the lines of a solar/battery powered Eotech sight but maybe Trijicon will come out with a circle/dot solar powered optic like the TA44. I would love to see something like that in maybe a 30mm optic.
