Trijicon disappoints me.

[Nasc50]

Here's the reason I'm disappointed in trijicon as a company. About 10 years ago I bought a tripower sight from them and it was supposed to be covered by a 15 year warranty on the trinium portion and limited lifetime warranty on the rest of unit. Here's the problem the trinium no longer glows, so I called them and they stated that they haven't sold this model for the last 5 years and don't service it either. So the product they sold me with a limited lifetime warranty no longer applies. This tells me that they don't stand behind their product's. I am know a excustomer. Thought others might want to know how they don't stand behind their products.

Well, that sucks.

Does the fine print in the warranty state that?

I think other companies will replace with a modern equivalent if the product is no longer made.

Thanks for the heads up.

Years ago I had their RX01 reflex sight with a similar issue after 10years...sorry not serviceable.

How much to re-nuke it?

That's the issue, they don't "re-nuke" tritium vials in their scopes, only replace the scope if under warranty. Loss of glow at half-life is not covered.

Interesting you mentioned this tonight...







Never saw a sight do this.

Well that's disappointing to hear...I love my ACOG and HD pistol sights. Hopefully never need the warranty

[Foebia]

Maybe you can work a trade/discount on the newer models

ACOGs' are tritium-re-chargable

I don't know about other Trijicon scopes, but I know for a fact that Trijicon does replace tritium vials in ACOGs'. I recently got a quote of $180.00 including return shipping for Trijicon to replace the tritium and replace/upgrade the fiber optic element in my TA11. The tritium has gotten a little dim in the nearly 24 years I've owned my TA11, which I bought in July of 1995.

I mentioned that Trijicon is going to replace/upgrade the fiber optic element: I say "upgrade" because Trijicon has upgraded the transparent material that the fiber optic rod is encased in. The fiber optic casing has become a little cloudy over the years. However, even in overcast conditions the fiber optic still illuminates the Donut plenty bright.

This is good to know , I am close to buying one but not now , they do state in the reviews I've watched that the glowing dot is only good for about 15 yrs and can be serviced , why would I want that I said , so now I'm down to 2 scopes to choose from vortex and nightforce

Good to hear they do ACOGs, but the Reflex and other riflescopes like the 3-9x40 don't have the same service.
