In the world of tactical sights for the ar15, people often think of Trijicon sights, how ever I doubt many people think trijicon when reflex sights come to mind. You have eotech and a host of other red dot manufactures out there, and they have a great product, but trijicon does something they don’t, they don’t use batteries in some of there sights. The sight I’m looking at this week is the RX-30A reflex sight. This sight would be at home on any ar rifle and works well in both low light and bright conditions. For situations that demand a rugged optic that must last for an undetermined amount of time, the trijicon sights fit the bill. The tritium last years and is bright enough to be seen in any condition, for the operator, this means an effective sight, and you don’t have to worry about or carry batteries. The sight has a wide field of view and is very easy to get on target. If you’re looking for a tactical reflex sight for your rifle, consider the trijicon reflex as a rugged battery less option.

I’ve been playing with a scope from Eotech for about a week now and I have to say the possibilities are endless for this new little site. It’s the Eotech XPS2-0, and it’s a neat little optic. The XPS2 is smaller than other Eotech scopes, making it a better fit if you have less space, like on a handgun, short barrel rifle, or an aug style rifle. I talked to a gentleman on Tuesday about the very problem of mounting an Eotech site on a microtech 556. He went with this site because it fit the rail and can use either the large bolt for hand tightening or a smaller allen headed screw if the larger screw would be obtrusive. This was true for the gentleman with the microtech 556, he was left handed and the larger scope and the large bolt hindered efficient operation. This is a neat little scope that has all the features of the larger Eotech sites without the weight and size. The only draw back to this little site is that it runs on one CR123 battery, which cuts its battery life to 600 hours, which is still a lot but not compared to the battery life of the larger sites. The site comes in three configurations; the Eotech xps2-0 with a 65 moa ring and 1moa dot, Eotech xps2-1 with a single moa dot, and the Eotech xps2-2 with a 65 moa ring and two 1moa dots. This would be a good site for any firearm that you need fast target acquisition and a small rugged site. That’s the word from sportoptics.com
