So from a jailhouse lawyer standpoint,

If the models submitted in order to win the contract had the Bible verse reference on them, then wouldn't removing the reference mean Trijicon was no longer supplying the exact product specified in the contract?

Which would mean a contract modification would have to be executed to allow the change in specifications, which means Trijicon would need to bill more for the "modified" product?


I mean two can play this game.

 It's no small project either, they will need to retool the molds they make the scope bodies on, then they have to change the Inspection Process, and the record sheet , as well as new blue prints to reflect the Rev change.
And all of this has to be verified and re certified. It could actually run into some serious money and delays in production.

I like the way you think!

Too bad they caved but that's a business decision. I looked at one of their sights at the local shop and it has the citation on it.

Personally I'm sick of all the PC crap. All it is is a bible citation on the end of the serial number. You have to look it up, understand what it says in relation to the scope it is on, and you can see that the citations were chosen because they match the capability of the sight. So what.

You have proven you have the right stuff to hang around and play on this forum  ;)

Hey, thanks to everyone who participated.  From those who voted by looking at the thread and not voting (they voted) to those who left comments.
I posted because I was dismayed that Trijicon caved IN ONE DAY. I appreciate the stand of a fellow who would be true to his belief and make such inscriptions. I'd like to know if the inheritor (his son) shared the same conviction or if it was a tradition carried along with a tip of the hat to papa.
If it was just a tradition, hey, things change. If it was a conviction and they rolled this easily I'm not real happy.
In a way we need more facts but like a poster said it appears to be a Corporate decision, one driven by the contracts and money.
Time to move along. Thanks.

All I can say is that I agree with everyone that thinks its a bunch of bull dung that trijicon is getting in truble for this (which is of course pretty much everyone that is on this forum), but at the sametime I really hope that the current supply has to get off loaded all at once and maybe at a much cheaper price.  ;)
