Trijicon SRS02, or Aimpoint T-1/T-2/H-1?

[Juday]

So the time has come to equip the LMT with a RDS of some type. Having never owned, or held either the SRS, or the Aimpoints, I'm torn on which way to go. I've had EOTech's in the past, but I'm looking to go another direction. It's not that I didn't like the EOTech, it's that I want to know what else is out there. That being said, I'm looking for advise from those who have actually held and seen both. Why did you like brand x over brand y? As far as battery life, that's not a big concern of mine. Whether it lasts 3.5 years, or 5 years, that's still a helluva long time. As far as price, let's say I can theoretically get them for around the same price. Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks!

I would go with the T-1 long before the SRS

 

[Juday]

What's the reasoning behind that statement? I'm not being an ass, but I just want to educate myself.

To me reddots should be smaller than the SRS.

With the battery life of the Aimpoint I would not care about "solar powering"

The SRS I had just did not impress me what so ever. It was big, and cumbersome, the dot was not as crisp as a Aimpoint's, the Aimpoint has a better durability reputation (although I've never personally abused either so that could easily be a mute point), and the Aimpoint is typically cheaper.

Yeah, I did notice the weight difference of the two is quite significant. How easy is it to pick up the dot on the Aimpoint vs. the SRS?

Assuming your comparing like dot sizes there wont be a difference.

I have both and like both. The FOV on the srs smashes the aimpoint, the weight on the aimpoint is less than the srs, both are extremely well built optics. I did not notice any issues with the dot clarity on the srs as was stated by 42769vette when compared to the aimpoint. As far as price range goes; brand new yes there is a few hundred dollar difference, but I rarely buy new. I purchased my srs02 shipped to my house for $625, whereas my T1 4moa cost me $550 and I had to drive a considerable distance halfway to meet the seller.

 

[Juday]

So, if you could ultimately only own one of them, which would you chose and why?

 

[Bfish]

If I were to buy an optic right now, I'd buy a T1. I want one for my next rifle build.

 

[Juday]

Are there any shops around the Northside of Indy that carry either one of these in stock?

 

[mshogren]

The gun club carries a variety of optics if you did not already know. Saw Trijicon products when I was in there today...

You can get a SRS for $500.Trijicon SRS01 at G and R Tactical Pretty tough to beat for that price.

Damn, that's a pretty good price. Have you ever ordered from them before? I'm unfamiliar with G&R.

G&R Tactical(not Guns 'N Roses) is great to order from. He stocks a lot of Colt, HK, BCM, Aimpoint, Geiselle,.........you get the picture.
