Looks great but serious qc issues - Trijicon ACOG TA02 4x32mm Rifle Scope, 32mm Tube

I'll start by saying that this is the clearest glass I have ever looked through. Did a lot of research before buying and was excited to get a nuclear bright acog reticle on demand without worrying about lighting conditions or dead tritium - but before I ever got the chance to take it out the electronics failed while just sitting in the safe, this was within the first year and I hadn't even finished assembling the rifle it was to go on, just turned it on to find a blinking light that quickly stopped blinking and no battery change would fix it. It was of course covered by Trijicon though they did force me to buy a label to send it in and when it was returned it was missing one of the mount screws... This has been my second abysmal experience with Trijicon customer service and after this I will never purchase another new Trij product - I'd rather pick up an old traditional acog with dead tritium and a piece of electrical tape than risk having zero illumination when I want it. Just be warned, this is not the bomb proof optic it appears to be and unless you have a large military contract Trijicon won't really care if you're happy with your $1500 optic. Lesson learned.
