Re: Optics Help: Trijicon Reflex
I've never been able to open both eyes with an Eotech or an Aimpoint. On both when I try to I wind up seeing double. Having said that I really prefer the Eotech. I currently have three and everyone one works like a champ!

Re: Optics Help: Trijicon Reflex
Thanks for all the responses. I've scrapped the Reflex RX01 idea, checked it out again today at Spring Guns and Ammo and was severely disappointed now that I knew what to look for. I pointed the dot right at a series of light panels and I couldn't even see the reticle! This would be a great sight for nighttime, but that's not what I'm looking to buy, especially not for my first optic.
They did, however, (besides having a great shop) have a Trijicon RMR, which I was very impressed with. Low profile on top and, after playing around with it in my hand for a few minutes, was quite easy to use. The height of the display concerns me only slightly, I'll still have to take a second look at it another time to confirm my sentiments, but I was impressed. It does take batteries but that's not an issue to me. It's a red dot and I can see it in the bright light so we're golden, or red. Let's just say I'm excited.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere. -Thomas Jefferson

A fellow officer buddy of mine at a neighboring pd is selling a like new Trijicon TX30 for around $400. Pretty good deal if you're interested. It may be the answer to what you didn't like about the reflex.
