    For $2K plus it had better come with zip ties...

    Can anyone confirm what increment the turrets are? 1/2 MOA? New production?

    Good to see DND catching up with the early 2000s. Next we get quad rails, and by 2050 we'll have some form of lightweight free floating handguard and wear multicam.

    If so, that tritium is about 2/3rds through it's first half-life.

    That would be some nice-to-know info before buying one.

    I'll just go on the "Dark Web" and try to buy some Tritium......

    It's still usable - fibre optic is definitely bright during the day (so much so that US soldiers and Marines would put gun tape over half their fibre optic pickups in Iraq and Afghanistan), and actually collects moonlight and starlight for a VERY faint image. The tritium would be at about 65% of it's original brightness after 8 years, so still useable. Even after two half-lives (24 years) you'd still see a faint glow at 25% intensity even with the fibre optic pickup completely covered.

    I have no illusions about doing night-time combat missions when not working my day job in an office, so yeah its not a deal breaker.
    But if I pay for a feature, I'd expect to receive 100% of that feature or an explanation of why not.
