I am in the process of getting rid of any optic that is battery operated.
Call it my paranoia but I would rather have non reliant optics.
Sad part is every rifle I have is either a red dot OR illuminated reticle.
Yea, I want to get the Trijicon ACOG, but I don't want to shell out $900 on an optic. I enjoy my $250 Primary Arms with a 2.5x magnification that's powered by one of those large, flat circle batteries
