I've owned three Trij optics, I chose amber in all three. I've also found that sometimes you can get a better price on trijicon amber reticles than a comparable red reticle.
I read somewhere during training that amber shows up better to the human eye in a broader range of conditions than red...or maybe it's the least likely color to be found in an environment so it is less likely to wash out as red might against a red background.
I did have problems with seeing the reflex amber dot reticle in bright daylight. But on my ACOG/Accu-Point there is no problem...bright and clear.
I sold the reflex but still have the others. There are nice scopes.
I'd still be curious as to why the USMC went red.
