After reading the many reviews I decided upon the Mepro 21 with Triangle Reticle. The final choice had come down to a Trijicon or Merpolight. I have run a Trijicon RMR for some time and love it. However, the Mepro 21 sits perfectly between the 2 reticle dimensions of the Trijicon Reflex sites. The Mepro 21 was very easy to install. The included quick detach mount is very secure and out of the way of the charging handle on a FN SCAR and FN FS2000. The green reticle is a non issue for me and helps pick up the triangle. Washout does occur when sitting in a dark room looking into well lit area. I feel that it is slightly less than the Trijicon RMR. That being said, I have always been able to see the triangle, even if it is very faint. At night I added a blue lens to my white light and it helped immensely. The orange triangle is easily picked up in the blue light. I sighted it in at 100 yards using the tip of the triange. I am also using an Aimpoint 3x magnifier. One interesting note here is that the maginifier does not changed the triangle. Using it with a red dot, it splays the dot into smaller dots making it hard to aim with precision. The triangle stayed solid for me with magnification. For me, the trade off of having no batteries makes this sight 100% worth every penny. I still run an Aimpoint on another rifle, but my go to rifle have the Mepro.
