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

[Davejohnson]

Hehuhates, the set screw holes are threaded, I just have not got the screws. I am slipping at the ring though, I don't think the screws will solve the problem.

The correct solution is to get a 1 O'clock mount and ditch that silly POS ring and mounting location. It sucks and is less than optimal.

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.

There is a slight learning curve, but at the end of the day, it is easily overcome.

As I said, competition shooters use this setup all the time so that is the clue that it works.

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.

I am not re-writing anything, and what irritates me is that people use a widely distributed forum to try and leverage their tentative standing.

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.

Yes, I know. I also saw the original setup (like you have) at SHOT, and the updated models at SHOT the next time around. Lack of research = buying the previous model, and expecting it to be the most up-to-date/perfect.

I don't buy a 2005 Toyota that doesn't offer leather seating, and then demand that Toyota give me a 2013 when they decided to offer leather. What do you expect Trijicon to do with your poorly planned purchase? Eat the cost?

And finally, they did NOT offer to fix my problem. They only offered to remediate it as best as they could.

Sounds like the offer to assist you was clear, and in fact is a widely known fix for making sure scopes don't move in their rings. It works, they know what they are doing, and they offered it.

You want the "2013 Toyota" at the "2005" price though.

I have been looking for a solution for this problem for months.

...and yet they offered you a solution you refused. Then others here are trying to help you and you are shrugging them off. Short of them giving you a 2013 model, with the machined in RMR mounts, you will not be happy. Do I have that right? If so, what could Trijicon do? Just cave in and give you a new optic, and destroy your old one? Sounds like a winning business model.

I bet they would do it, but if you interact with them, like you have here, I can completely understand their hesitance.

Shivon, you might throw your weight around by closing my thread because somehow, my problem irritates you.

You agreed to the abide by the policies/practices of the forum when you registered; one example of those is that you maintain a certain level of politeness to members of the Staff, IPs, SMEs, etc.

Your insistence that an RDS/mini-RDS in an offset mount creates "eye-relief issues" that impede you from using it such a configuration is odd....largely because it's completely WRONG. This includes "looking through the RMR at an angle." For some reason, you're attributing factors that impact magnified-optic use to RDS/mini-RDS use, and in a way that doesn't apply in the least. I certainly find THAT aspect irritating, from the standpoint that folks are passed you this info, yet you appear to be refusing to assimilate the information, instead of merely failing to understand it.

Using an offset optic, one cants the weapon so that the optic is oriented over the bore and not angled in relation to the shooter's eye. It wouldn't be "less than optimal," it would be exactly what RMRs and the like were designed for.

It's a given that you're frustrated by the fact that something you thought would meet your needs....didn't. Build a bridge, use it to get over yourself, and realize that you might have some things yet to learn.

Hehuhates, that thing's a rubber-ducky, not a real gun....

NOT a Trijicon, but the same principle.

- Mount RMR in the offset position, eye relief to taste
- Rotate rifle >45 degrees counterclockwise to utilize
- Acquire target
- Squeeze trigger.





ta da.

I think this has been beat up enough, and options given for a real solution, including Trijicon's own solution.

Good luck in finding your way.
