Erick,
Thanks very much for the reference. I have a 3.5 X 35 mm TA11 ACOG on a Bushmaster and like it a lot. I've looked at both of the Trijicon variables. The 3-9 does not look or feel bad, but doesn't have quite the low mag/wide field I'm hoping for. The 1.5 has at most a 20mm objective and it looks and feels like it belongs on a BB gun. Perhaps I'm being ridiculous, but I just can't seem to see it on my 338.
I've posted several specific inquiries about the Trijicon variables in a few different forums. I got only one response (favorable) from someone who had the 3-9. It doesn't seem that there are many of them out there, but I can't tell whether it's because of mediocre performance or simply a lack of aggressive marketing.
Your suggestion is a good one and I appreciate it. I'll have to mull it over a bit more.
