1-4 options

[newyork]

Just competed in my 1st rifle match and loved it. Used my BCM and T1 and both performed perfectly as usual. Only time I felt lacking was the 200 yd gongs. Could have used a little magnification for a better hit percentage. Getting a 1-4 for future matches, fun and variety popped in my head.
For 90% of my shooting and classes I take, the T1 will be staying put but for matches, I would like a 1-4 possibly. Funny thing is, I've had 2. A NF and a new Meopta but needed money and sold both. I also wasn't using them the way they should be.
My budget is about $1000 for mount and scope. I'm really leaning TR24 because of its lack of batteries, simplicity and it's price point and daylight visible illumination. I don't care much what it does at night since its not for defense.
Other options I'm mulling over:
Another Meopta ZD
SWFA 1-4
Out of price range but Ill think about it:
NF with FC2 reticle
US Optics 1-4 DFP

I'll mostly be shooting only out to 200, maybe 300.

Thoughts?

Leupold is making a 1-6x now for about $1k...

While its the only low power variable i have trigger time with, i love my tr24. The simple triangle on a post doesnt clutter the sight picture, works great in any lighting, very fast on 1x once you get used to it. I like how for speed you just put it on what you need to shoot, however for longer shots you have the precision of the tip. Its perfect for my needs and the price is right. Ive got no regrets thus far

These are all the reasons I'm interested in it.

I had a TR24 and I liked it well enough... until it decided to fill itself with water during a class where it rained. Triji replaced it with a new unit which I promptly sold and upgraded to a NF 1-4 with the FC2 reticle and haven't looked back. I have used the NF in matches involving both fast shooting at close range and shooting on smaller targets out to about 300 yards. I don't even find that I need to use the illumination on the NF unless it's dark as the FC2 reticle is really easy to see during the day.

Never gave the 2nd one try? Maybe it was a solitary issue? Or have others had that happen with the Trijicon ?

I was actually one of two guys in that class that had a TR24. By the end of the day both TR24s had serious water leak issues. Both went back to Trijicon and both were replaced. The explanation Triji gave was there was a seal failure. I know most TR24s are trouble free, but the fact that in that class both TR24s present failed kind of beat up my confidence in them.

EDIT: Here's a pic of mine after the class. There was actually standing water in the scope. This wasn't just a small leak that resulted in some fogging or anything.

WOw! I can see why your confidence would be shaken. I haven't heard this before.

I know other guys locally who have used them in the rain and have no issues with theirs. I would have felt better if Triji said something like "we had a batch that went out with faulty seals" or something like that which would indicate they actually knew what went wrong and that it wasn't a design problem.
