Well, we know now that Trijicon is removing Biblical references from their products.

Does it make a difference to you?

Heck, I couldn't afford their stuff to begin with.....so a "boycott" will be easy for me..... but, even if I could afford them, I probably wouldn't buy their products any way....just on principle.

I was considering buying one before I knew about the Bible references so I guess it will not matter to me. Though it would be cool to have one with the reference there.

When the time comes I will look for the best product at the best price to suit my needs. Probably Trijicon, but maybe something else will pop up.

At the last gunshow I bought a Bushnell for my 9mm carbine that looks like the ACOG but was only $175. I wasn't going to spend Trijicon money on a sight for a "fun" gun.

If I could afford the Trijicon, I would put them on every rifle that I own. Excellent quipment but also have a new found respect for them after learning that their Christian makers place Biblical References on them.  Faith in God and faith in their product exemplifies the amount of effort they put in. Much appreciated and highly respected in my opinion.

As I understand it the Bible reference was ONLY on MILITARY product, so while I think it is cool they did it, whether they keep it or not would make no difference to me.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the Bible Reference was  started by the Founder of the Company. He has passed and been replaced by the "Corporate Mentality".  Any one who thinks a Corporation gives a crap about "Family Values" should PM me, I have this bridge they may be interested in buying.

I could care less if the bible references are there or not, but if anyone needs prayers I think our military does.

It's their product, their company and they can leave it or remove it. It's their right to do it their way. I think they should leave it personally and stick up for the 1st amendment. But if they feel that it is important enough to change to please their largest customer than fine. Same product! I just hope they leave it on their commercial product to uphold the brands tradition.

Didn't and Don't really care one way or the other.  I think the whiney assbags need to be on the other end of one of those sights. 

Mind Your Own Business!

If I ever get a little money I'd like to get some of their night sights for my Walthers!
