TR24 beyond 50 yards

[Belmont31R]

I read in one of the other tr24 threads that " looking from inside a dimly lit room threw a window in bright sunlight the green triangle darkens and is difficult to pick up when looking at foliage." Anyone with one ever experience this? I still can't decide between red and green. Got to play with the red today but not have had no luck locating a green one to mess with. Pics on the net just aren't the same as hands on in my opinion.

That happens with any illuminated reticle (either battery, sunlight or tritium).


Everytime I go to the range, and get back home I look at the dots on my RDS's, and they are so bright they are blooming like crazy. Its one thing I wish could be greatly improved upon is the transition from inside to outside in optics. You can be inside during the day, and have a bright setting on...go outside, and you can't even see the dot because its much brighter. Or at night, and you go from no light to having your white light on a lightly painted room. Can't see the dot.


The fiber optic and tritium sights (like Trijicon) are not as easily adjusted for brightness as battery powered optics are, and rely on the immediate environment to set the brightness, and that doesn't always match up with what the "operator" needs. Hence why people put tape on the FO tube out in bright daylight, and complain about brightness in the dark and/or from dark into light.

I really think I need to get myself one of these.

I used the German #4 with a green dot on a 6.8 hunting AR
worked great, I sold that gun as I didn't need 2 6.8s, but may be getting another TR24, I think I will run a green triangle version this time for kicks

I have had 2 ACOG TA33s, several Accupoint 3-9s in varying reticles, my 6.8 has a 3-9x40 mildot / green dot on it

my only beef really with the #4, and I have seen others say the say thing, is that the reticle bars could be a little thinner
