I've been a big Trijicon fan for years, since purchasing some night sights for a Beretta pistol about a decade ago. Having recently purchased a Winchester Model 70, 7mm-08 in a synthetic stock, I wanted a suitable optic to pair with the gun. I was going for a lightweight, all purpose rifle with this build, and the Accupoint seemed like a good fit.
In the past, I've run Zeiss Conquest, Nightforce, Leupold, Nikon, and Burris scopes, to name a few. While each of these scopes have their merits, I do a lot of hog hunting in south-central Texas, and therefore, quite a bit of shooting at dusk. So, I was really looking for a illuminated reticle. If money were no object, I may have purchased a Nightforce, but dropping that kind of cash simply wasn't in the cards. So, I came to the Accupoint, which seemed like a perfect fit. Illuminated reticle, powered by tritium so it needs no batteries, in a relatively small, lightweight, attractive package.
I received the scope, and have been quite happy so far. I mounted the scope with some Talley mounts with integral rings, which seems like a good combo. Optically, the glass is clear, and there are no distortions to speak of throughout the scope's range. I haven't had a chance to use this scope in any real low light settings yet, so I can't speak to how well this glass compares to others, but during daylight conditions, it is very clear and bright. The tritium dot works as advertised, emitting enough of a glow to be useful, yet not distracting, in low light conditions. During the day, the brightness of the dot is controlled by varying the amount of light that enters via the fiber optics on the scope, and is completely adjustable. Again, I've not found the dot to "bloom" or be distracting in either low-light or ordinary conditions.
This scope is somewhat unique in its price-point. It is priced just above most "mid-tier" scopes, but well below your top of the line scopes. While time is ultimately the best test for any scope, if this scope lives up to the Trijicon name, I don't expect to be disappointed. If my thoughts on this scope change, I'll be sure to update this review, but as of this writing, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this scope to anyone shooting in dawn and dusk low-light conditions.
