I have an old, discontinued Trijicon 1.25-4x24mm that has a 1" tube and amber triangle aiming point. Good eye relief and light weight. An old review found on the web said it had stood up to .375 H&H and .416 Rigby for 6 years. Owner was so happy he bought a second and lamented the discontinuation.
They now make a 1-4x24mm with 30mm tube, heavier and more expensive, boo hoo, (eye relief 4.8" and weight 14.4 ounces) but lots more reticle options, red, green, amber, G4, duplex, mildots and chevron and horseshoe-topped trees, etc., yippee ! If I do another Trijicon, it might have to be an ACOG with a low mount. Such might exist at Optics Planet. They are very light weight. 3x30mm with high mount only 9.8 ounces. 3x24mm with low mount only 7.9 ounces.
Eye relief reports vary according to source from 1.9" to 3.6" quoted on a 3x30mm, huh ? Civilian versus military models or just typos ?
3.5" eye relief quoted often allows me to use it at a full 5" from my eyeball.
Anyway, Sir Scotty is probably right about the non-electronic, no-battery, dual illumination by Trijicon, with tritium and fiber-optic-piped ambient light ... probably as durable as it gets for "illuminated."
