These are the guts of my Smith & Wesson M&P-15 MOE rifle. You can see the Trijicon TA-11G, which is a 3.5×35 optic, utilizing Trijicon’s new green circular reticle.

    Sweet! My buddy just got one of those with the green reticle as well, and it’s amazing… according to him green is the new red, and I “gotta upgrade”

    Why green?

    Green is more visible in bright sunlight than red. Addresses the “wash out” that many illuminated sights have.

    How’s the BUPS holding up? I’m considering one for my house gun.

    Out of all the single colors, human eyesight is most sensitive to green. Probably because it’s in the middle of the visible color spectrum. This is also why night vision devices display in shades of green.

    The green reticle is also less likely to wash out in in bright light. Although, I had to put a bit of tape over to block some of the light.

    Here’s the setup on my new house AR. I’m impressed with the BUPS, but the front was blocked when placed on the rail in the down position.
