Re: New Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4X, anyone have info?
I went with the red triangle as it was available when I wanted to order one. It sits on my patrol rifle right now. I am actually faster with it than I was with my RDS, mostly due to the much brighter reticle. For fine shooting I have to turn down the amount of light that gets to the fiber optic.
It is actually lighter than my RDS and magnifier by a view ounces and the glass quality is great, even more so when compared to a RDS and magnifier.
While I have been able to get the illumination to wash out in some artificially staged situations, in actual patrol work it has always been good.
It has a huge sweet spot and I can't really got back far enough on the stock to loose a crisp sight picture. Up close and while moving, if the triangle is on the target, I hit it, regardless how screwed up my sight picture might be.
I even pick it up well when I switch shoulders. It is an optic I think has to be experienced to believe.
While it isn't really heavy, in a perfect world it would be half the weight and shorter.
