Trijicon Reflex vs Eotech vs Aimpoint T1

**jerhelo** · 06-29-13, 12:30

I currently own a trijicon TA31F Acog and an EOTech XPS2 and like them both.

I have two other rifles I am thinking about RDS for and am debating on getting a Trijicon Reflex or an Aimpoint T1. Don't get me wrong I like my eotech but really like the T1 and the battery life. I also really like everything that I have from Trijicon and love the simplicity of the reflex sight.

What are you thoughts with either? What experiences have you had, good or bad? All opinions welcome...Thanks.

Do a search here. All have ups and downs. I'd say the nod goes to aimpoint as far as having the fewest downs. Personally, the rx34 is my favorite rds. Washout, although rare, is an issue for some. For me, I've extensively practiced cowitnessing my irons through the rds to the point that I'm quite proficient. With that said, I still say aimpoint makes the best RDS for 99% of applications... not to say I'm that 1%, but that simply like the trijicon better.

T-1 by a longshot, I wouldn't even consider the trijicon. Eotech's are nice but add too much bulk/weight with not enough battery life for what they do (1x optic).

I have a T-1 on my DD with fixed front and rear, it added no weight and the dot is there, I like the sight picture. I would have gotten an H-1 but I traded my EXPS3-0 for the T-1, no regrets.

Why can't I ever come accross a deal like that, I would trade my eotech for a T-1 in a heartbeat. Mine is brand new never even sighted or shot with yet. I bought it because they only had that that the time, it is nice but would rather of gone with the aimpoint...

Funny thing was I was going to buy a T-1 for my DD and I was selling the Eotech to fund an ACOG for my SCAR 17s (which I'm now more confused than ever what optic I want on it). I put the Eotech on EE here to sell but got offered that as a trade from another member, so it was hard to turn down, came with the LaRue 1/3 cowitness mount & I/O cover, both of which are very nice.

They weigh a ton and is very expensive for what it does. Some reports of issues with them as well, although I can't completely recall what the issue was.

Very nice, lucky. I have an ACOG and love it but I would wait for the VCOG that is coming out this fall...
