    Trijicon tr24

    Ive been researching this scope along with a few others and came across some old posts indicating failures in the form of the rain water accumulating inside the trijicon accupoint tr24. I was hoping someone could chime in here and shed some light on whether or not this was an isolated issue and if not, has it since been corrected. I've seen them on amazon lately for around 600 so it is tempting.

    A chicom fake, maybe.

    If a real Trijicon scope takes on water they would replace it.

    Personally, I feel the tr24 is the greatest 1-4x for the money. To add... I think what you were reading was horse manure.

    The post was legit, and IIRC there was two that had the water problem. The post in question is probably over a year old now, and reflects a very isolated problem. A lot of what was out there was people repeating the same story.

    Very good scope for the money, and my favorite 1-4x. I liked it better than my Short Dot. About 6oz lighter, and better eye box, not to mention about $2k cheaper.

    I had a TR24G, and wish I would have bought the TR24R. There is a lot of hype about green reticles and tons of stuff about how you can see more shades of green. That may be true, but I don't think it carries over to reticles the way it would a device with a monochrome image, ie night vision. Having used Aimpoints or EOtechs for years red just seems right.

    I had 4 at one time, 2 green,2 red. I kept 1 of the red ones.

    All 4 were ran in the rain never had any take on water.

    Isolated incident. Get one you won't regret it.

    I have been running mine (TR24G) for just over 3 years now (I purchased one the first couple of weeks after they were initially released). It has been thru several courses and rides on my daily carry work AR without an issue.

    While some of the new 1-6x's that are on the market have piqued my interest It's gonna be hard to get me to switch my TR24G for anything else. It's a great scope.

    I have owned several and still own 1 with a green triangle.
    Good scope overall.
    The good.
    great illumination ok glass, ok turrets. The reticle is always on no batteries to go dead.

    The bad.
    No hold over marks have to dial in for longer range shots.
    in certain lighting conditions your going to get a black reticle.

    I have a question, how durable are these things? I am thinking about getting one instead of my T1 due to my astigmatism

    Mine has been SATURATED several times in the last few weeks. No issues whatsoever.
