I just got a Tripower last week so I will give you my first impression. I picked it up new off TOS EE for $420. The way I looked at it was I could sell it and get most of my money back if I did not like it. The tritium was develop for use with night vision and it is way too dim for regular use. You can see it in the dark but not well enough. The fiber optic works well outside but you will need battery power if using inside. I have only had mine for a week so I can’t comment about the battery life but everything I have heard it's too short. Not to mention the batteries are an uncommon size and harder to find.

The only real plus is the chevron reticle. I like the concept of the Tripower but some changes need to be made in order to reach its true potential. I have not mounted it on a rifle yet. I’m in the middle of a big move so it may be sometime before I make it out to the range to see what it has to offer.
