What are the benefits of the battery powered ACOG scopes such as the TA02 or the Browe version over the dual powered Acogs?

You can easily replace a battery without much cost. A tritium light source WILL eventually need replacing, usually losing its effective brightness in about 10+/- years then would require being sent back to the manufacturer for more money and less inconvenience than acquiring a battery.

You also can adjust the brightness, or turn it off if you don't want illumination.

And in case of an EMP, you still have your Reticle and Optic.

While I'm not that worried about the receiving end of a nuke the idea it has an reticle that is etched into the glass is a big bonus. Just in case the battery or electronics go south It would still be a useful fixed scope.

I have a TA31 and am quite fond of it. I will say though, when you're in a dim room, the illumination , while still useful, is nowhere what it is say, outside. I had it at an indoor range last week and a battery option would have really made for better illumination.

I am leaning toward the Browe optic. While I don't like overcomplicating technology, I like the "target light sensor" concept they use.
