The Trijicon Reflex Series Sights
Trijicon, an American company founded by the late Glyn Bindon is best known for its ultra-rugged range of ACOG maginfying reflex sights which have taken the West’s militaries by storm. However, Trijicon have always invested heavily in research and development and have built up a great range of civilian and military sighting equipment for a wide variety of applications. One obvious niche was for shoulder weapons used at short to medium ranges. This not only means sub machine guns and carbines used for CQB, but also shotguns used for practical competitions and turkey hunting. These sights are just as suitable for backwoods deer hunting on large caliber lever guns.
Trijicon always try to free the shooter from reliance on batteries and electronics. The Trijicon Reflex uses a fiber-optic light gathering device by day and a tritium lamp to illuminate the aiming pattern at night. This caters for almost any situation, the exception being shooting into bright surroundings from darkness, a scenario for which the Trijicon Tripower was developed. These sights offer very rapid target acquisition and engagement.
The Trijicon Reflex series use fully coated dichroic mirrors and have either 24 or 42 mm objectives. The housings are immensely strong unitary investment castings of A357-T6 aluminum alloy to resist impact. Dark gray hard anodizing provides a suitable finish, compatible with most firearms. Amber dots of either 4.5 or 6.5 MoA provide the aiming point for most models, but a 12 MoA chevron is offered on one of the 24 mm ojective units. The adjusters are recessed to avoid snagging or damage and provide one inch at 100 yard clicks.
A lot of effort has been put into making these sights fit a vast array of weapons. The sights are offered without mounts. You can then add your selection of Weaver, Flattop (Picatinny on AR15), Low Profile Flattop Quick Detach, Low Profile Weaver Quick Detach, H&K, A.R.M.S #15 throw lever, AK47 and an M16 / AR15 carry handle mount. For tactical applications and hunting a Tenebraex KillFlash ARD can be purchased.
Units available include the Trijicon RX01 which is a 24 mm objective model with a 6.5 MoA amber dot, the Trijicon RX30, a 6.5 MoA unit with a 42mm objective and the Trijicon RX34, another 42mm objective model, but this time with the smaller 4.5 MoA dot.
