I have a 3-9 with the green dot and crosshairs. I put it on a 7-08 and have done some range work with it in bright and overcast conditions. It is very easy to see the dot against a solid black target. I'd put it a bit behind the 3-9 Conquest in optical quality but it's still good. I bought it for shooting dark hogs and I could see where it'd be a good call for dark bears too. For deer, antelope, and the like, I think I'd just as soon have the Conquest as it's cheaper with more eye relief.

In my journey to Gander yesterday to check out rangefinders I looked through one of these again like I always do there and man I just love that crosshair greendot. I have to have one or 2 of these scopes!

They used to be rated at water-resistant, not waterproof. Are they still that way or have they changed? That ruled them out for Alaska hunts in my book. Has Mule Deer ever done his "torture test" on them? Just wondering... Filbert

Seem to recall a recent issue of Guns and Ammo where Mule Deer put a 1.5-4x Trijicon through a multi-week brown bear hunt. Didn't read anything about water damage.
I've had mine soaked in Oregon rain with no adverse effects.

Resurrecting this . . . . Recently purchased a 1.25-4x24......too short for many actions but a delight to use for these old eyes....I prefer post reticles anyway and this is just icing on the cake.... Gleaned the above from another Trijicon post and am wondering how the 1.25-4x24mm 'fits', fore and aft on say a M70 L/A (338 Win Mag)? Are extended mounts need to get the required eye relief?
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
