On my latest build I put a Trijicon on it and love it. Anyone else tried one?

You might get a better response in the optics section.

Yes, I have three Trijicons - two 3-9s and a 1-4. Very pleased with the scopes. Sturdy, great glass and the variable amber dot feature is a big help in low light conditions. Rasonably priced for the quality of the scope IMO.

I'm liking the 5-20 green mil-dot, although just a green dot duplex would have been fine. I've yet to "need" the dot, but I sometimes scope deer as it gets dark, just to see if I could still make the shot. That Tritium does buy you a few extra minutes.

My son and I have two Trijicon 2.5-10x56's, amber dots, on our Benelli R1's. Provide night hunt capability on all but cloud covered moonless nights. Very nice optics for the money! The 56mm scope is a little bulky and wouldn't be my first choice for an all around rifle, but for night hunting hogs and coyotes it is excellent!

I have a 3-9x40 with a regular plex and green dot. I put it on a 7-08 for deer and hogs.

It tracks well and has resetable turrets. I like it quite a bit for dark animals in low light. They are spendy though and, to my eye, they're not as good optically as the Zeiss Conquest and Leupold VX3, but for black hogs in low light they are nice.

It also should work well black bear in low light, though I haven't tried that yet.
