Why thank you kind sir!You are a man of excellent taste!
I knew I should have bought it for myself when I had the chance.
Is that scope mounted on the tube??Great set up. Always funny seeing how far the TR21s have to be set forward
Is that scope mounted on the tube??
Thanks for the info. It's just hard to imagine a high precision rifle with the glass mounted on the tube. Then again, all of my optics $$$ is spent on Aimpoints and EOTechs so what do I know?Yup, Trijicon TR21. 1.25-4 power, 1" tube. Trijicon dropped them I think in 2012 in favor of the TR24 which is a 1-4 and a 30mm tube.
Personally I like the TR21 better, it's a good deal lighter than the 24 and I think the glass gas less "rounding" effect on 1.25 power vs the 1 power on the 24, and IMO the TR21 gathers as much light as the 24 at night.
The TR21 has has 1 downfall and 2 common complaints. The downfall is that the eye relief changes from stupid long at 1.25 power, to managable at 4 power, so increase magnification and you need to change your cheek weld just a touch. The common complaint was the long eye relief, most of the time you need a 3" offset mount if you want to keep the whole mount on the receiver. The second common complaint was that it was a 1.25 power instead of a 1 power. I have a TA44 which is a 1.5 power ACOG, the extra half power doesn't strain your eyes and for commonality, I often leave my TR21 at 1.5 power to match it, so only having 1.25 on the low end IMO isn't a big deal
Does your RAT stock lock up tight? I'd assume that coming on a LaRue built rifle that it would, but I have one and it loose on all of my receiver extensions. It's the only thing I've bought from LaRue that hasn't been "best in class."
There's a thread going in the LaRue industry forum on arfcom, but it seems that it mostly pertains to LaRue rifles that have loose fitting RAT stocks. I'm checking it from time to time to see if he addresses the aftermarket.
