    The durability comments are from personal conversation with an individual who deployed with several dozen VCOGs and several; dozen MK6's in his unit as part of an evaluation. Zero MK6's hard broke. Four VOCGs did (fogging, loss of adjustments). The MK6's only issue was improper mounting in the LT mounts due to human error, and loss of power due to being left on. Again, human error, but worth mentioning. *This is from memory several years back.
    The MK6 is awesome. I'm still mad I had to sell mine. I've even considered selling my NX8 for one.
    It is from the construction of underground FEMA camps. I can't say more because there a guy parked in front of house in an AMC Pacer. He is acting like he talking on the phone, but I know better.

    I have to sign off now & put my laptop in the microwave.

    I'm impressed by Trijicon. They cold have rested on their laurels with the big government contracts they have gotten, such as the ACOG. But, they haven't. They've continued to innovate and improve and take chances. I don't love everything they've made. However, they manage to keep their products relevant in multiple categories (pistol mounted red-dots, rifle mounted red-dots, LPVOs, ACOGs).

    Give it an ACSS reticle and I’d be into it.

    I like my NX8 better. The only nod I'd give to the MK6 is that the glass was a touch cleaner, and it had a slightly warmer palate, which I liked.

    Looks very cool, come on guys please buy these things up so they make more versions with better reticles and mounts out of the box. Would also love to see a 1-8x ffp accupoint

    Coal D. nailed that. If you shoot a lot of long range 400plus, that wind hold is critical. Inside 300 and you can just hold off a bit. Otherwise NO.

    I want one. I never experienced any problems with my 1-6 vcog minus it wasn’t as bright as I wanted and the crosshair is a tad thick for a 100yd zero. I like the new reticle and if it’s as bright as my 1-8 red accupower then i’m getting one for my work gun.
