Meprolight M21 WATCH before you buy! Honest use and the one shortfall of this Tritium Combat Optic. 

Thanks! I'll definitely have to check that out.

I haven't picked up a polarizer yet but I definitely am going to give it a try. I mean this is definitely a solid sight and it has heald up amazingly. I really do like it it's just got that one dang Achilles heel.

Hello! Always nice to hear from someone in my neck of the woods. My M21 is still going strong. It's got that one drawback I mentioned in the video but I still say this is definitely one solid optic and certainly worth the money in my opinion. I will always have this one on my mini 14. Thanks so much for stopping by the channel.

Hey thanks!

🤣 That mother frigger lol Always thinking he's AAAAALLLL that! 😁

Thanks so very much!

I bet one of these would make a great site for a 308 battle rifle. Welcome to the channel my friend and thanks for watching. Good point about the South and the Sun LOL, the whole grass is greener thing I guess... take care and have an awesome day. Thanks again for stopping by.

Actually I have an lpvo on my AR LOL it's a 300 Blackout. And my other AR is a 450 Bushmaster, I have a Primary Arms ACSS on that one. There's just something about the ol Mini-14 that's just rock solid to me. Great lineage coming down from the M1 Garand and the M14 as well. My mini 14 isn't one of the ranch rifles it's an original Mini-14 which ejects straight up and doesn't lend itself to anything mounted over the receiver so a scout mount is perfect for a rifle like that. I definitely recommend the sight, it's a solid optic.

Funny you should mention that, I actually supplemented mine with a Wilson Combat 1911 bushing buffer. Smoothed things out big-time. That being said I have had a lot of experience with Duty rifles at work myself and they definitely get used hard. I've seen catastrophic failures with everything from a Colt M4 to a Beretta M9. Thanks for checking out our video and stay safe my friend.

Amen brother, the father of the modern Scout rifle. That man was a Firearms prophet in every sense of the word.

@@TheMaineiacguy Jeff Cooper---the guy who told us the Russian 7.62x39 was a poor combat round, that told us the Glock was inferior and sold only because of marketing, told us that double action was a non solution, told us that optics were not reliable enough to depend on then gave us that silly Scout rifle that depends on optics....oh that Cooper.

@@df809 the same way you move any etched red dot. Acogs are all etched…. May want to hit the books and continue reading

@@ttss5726 ACOGs and prismatic optics arent red dots. When you adjust them, you're adjusting the glass of the optic. May want to hit the books and continue reading.

Not sure. I mean I welcome any comments from those who know different but to my knowledge Trijicon (ACOG etc.) is the only other show in town for a Tritium/ Fiber Optic combat optic and they are twice the price of the M21. So I would say perhaps the M21 IS the budget option.

Hi guys there’s two main competitors for the “No battery dual illuminated” sights. The trijicon RMR dual illuminated and the SeeAll Open sight.

Tritium has a 25 year life. It's half life is about 12 1/2 years meaning that it is half as bright as brand new in roughly 12.5 years. Definitely not for everyone but to have an optic that's always on for that many years for me personally is a pretty good piece of kit. It's tough to beat tritium handgun sights as well. Definitely, though, to each his own because you are definitely correct in that you pay a premium price for a product with a shelf life.

I'm going to be honest with you it's really all about your personal preference and what you're going to use it for. I actually run all three of those sites that you just mentioned on different rifles. I have the Sig Romeo5 Predator on my 300 Blackout and that motac or motion activated technology that you're talking about is actually great I love that optic. I also run an etched reticle 1 to 4 power lpvo on my 450 Bushmaster and that is also a very solid choice. Honestly if I were only going to run one and I had to make the choice it wouldn't be the Meprolight M21. But with that being said it is a lot of fun to run and it gives me variety and a different feel from the other three that I already run.

Thats a down fall big time tho id run it on a shotgun it wouldn’t be issue honestly. Unless shooting slogs you really cant miss with shotgun

MEPRO is combat proven......Sig red dot china crap.....are you a paper shooter or serious shooter?

Especially when they already know you’re there. The shooting has started!

This is absolutely one of my favorite rifles and I have always found it to be a very reliable platform. This would absolutely make a great all-around rifle not only solid and classic time-proven design but also just super functional. I did a video earlier more showcasing this rifle I will link it here below. Thanks for stopping by the channel my friend and I hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SvWBnUS1-VY.html

Reliable for sporting use...NOT DURABLE for any serious use.......NOT

Now that's a great suggestion. Thanks!

I haven't used a magnifier with the M21. Not sure.

Hope you like yours as much as I do mine brother. Pretty awesome they have those right on base.
