As of today, the Trijicon SRS (Sealed Reflex Sight) is the newest red dot sight on the market. Trijicon took a hard look at the 1x magnification sight market and did what it took to get on top. The state of the art in red dot sights (RDS) has been the Aimpoint CompM4. A great sight, but no doubt long in the tooth. Looking at the feature list, it’s easy to see how Trijicon took on the CompM4.
The bullet points:
- 1.75 MOA red dot
- 38mm objective lens- The SRS has a huge viewing window, nearly eliminating the tube effect
- Runs for 3 years on an average setting and uses the solar panel to power the optic in place of the AA battery when in sunlight
- Automatic plus 10 individual brightness settings for the red dot, 1-3 are night vision compatible
- Sealed, ruggedized case
- No tools needed- sighting adjustments can be made with a shell case and the Bobro self-adjusting mount snaps into place with a locking lever
- 3.75 inches long
I had a few hours on the range with the new optic last week and found one of the greatest features of the SRS is the near elimination of tube effect. That’s the feeling that you have to look through a tube to see the red dot reticle and the target area past it. The SRS’s tube is far shorter that the CompM4 and it’s field of view is about 2.5 times more. What’s more, looking at the sight from the cheekweld, the outside walls of the sight are thinner, allowing you to look through the sight with one eye and see what’s past it with the other easily. End result- way more situational awareness than looking through at narrow tube.
