Trijicon Mount Product Warning. DOES NOT WORK and NO WARANTEE HONORED

[CCK]

Using an off center mount for the reflex site would require placing the reflex site in front or behind the ACOG scope. Then the eye releif would be an issue. Either the scope or the rapid site would be less than optimal.

Eye relief issues with mounting the RMR offset ahead of the ACOG?

Please tell me I am reading this wrong.

Are you using the set screws on the Reflex mount? My friends setup has set screws that I don't see it your photo, I see them in Grant's photo though (I think).

Uh yeah, what he said. No such thing as 'eye relief' with a reflex or red dot sight man, that's part of the point.

Incorrect. The RMR has unlimited eye relief. So you can mount it ANYWHERE.

Just so you know, Gun gamers have been using this setup for a long time so I would say that it works ok.

My setup did not come with set screws. Trijicon mailed me the wrong size screws. So no, no set screws. Trijicon's instructions for the set screws are to leave a space between the acog and the screw. These will not stop it from moving.

As far as Trijicon offering to solve my problem... the problem is in the engineering of their product. It is NOT my problem. They re-designed their scopes to eliminate this drift, but would not exchange my faulty set up for a new one. I even offered to kick in some cash.

Interesting that some of you defend Trijicon in this. Glueing my mount to the scope (for $1850) is supposed to be a sollution? If this is such a good sollution, then why did they RE-DESIGN THE SCOPE as pointed out above?

[SHIVAN]

I'm not defending anything, but do have a clear picture on what needs to be done here, though I will allow it to roll some more, just to make sure you get it out of your system.

1) Trijicon offered to fix the issue for you. You don't like it, and want the newest design RMR specific optic. Buying the non-RMR specific design, with an RMR mount is not Trijicon's issue, it's your issue. Sounds like a case of incomplete product research, caveat emptor.

2) Lashing out at everyone who is trying to help you, genuinely, is juvenile -- at best. At worst, it's a case of biting the hand that feeds you, and I can see why Trijicon would probably be reluctant to deal with such a person.

3) This is not your personal soapbox, you've got a few more minutes of petulant behavior, and then this thread will be closed up due to a user unwilling to waiver from the asinine.

Shivon, you might throw your weight around by closing my thread because somehow, my problem irritates you. but you don't have a right to re-write my facts. Asinine? No research on my part? A product that was a retrofit?

Trijicon sells this as a set. It is their product. The product was re-designed by them because the version I got did not work. And finally, they did NOT offer to fix my problem. They only offered to remediate it as best as they could.

I have been looking for a solution for this problem for months; and no one at Trijicon will tell you that I was unreasonable or Asinine. That is your own definition out of your head. The only post that I have found asinine and unreasonable was your insensitive and selfish rant about my problems.

I am confused. Where was their a re-design of THIS mount (for ACOG's that don't have the BUILT IT mount)???

Are you saying that you want Trijicon to provide you with a NEW ACOG that has has the mounting points built into the ACOG?

As I stated, you are trying to mount an RMR in the WORST spot (yes I think it is foolish that Trijicon mounts them there). So why not cut your losses, and mount the RMR in a much BETTER spot that won't have so much "height over bore" issues??????????????????

My buddy has the same setup you have. I thought he had the newer one, I called him and he said to see if your holes are threaded. If so use them it works for him and holds zero. after reading this thread he is gonna use the electrical coating also. Good luck.

Everytime I look at the last pic the castlenut looks bassackwards.

C4F Grant, the last recommendation I got from Jimmie at Trijicon was to get the RM 55 mount so I could use the RMR and the Acog. I did not go with this recommendation because I am concerned that I would be looking through the RMR at an angle. What is your thoughts about this? Is that something I could get used to? Of all the options put forth, this is better to me than using locktight if it will be something that I could get used to.
