Trijicon AccuPoint ?

I just bought a few weeks ago the 3x9 AccuPoint from Euro Optics and am waiting for my rifle to be built another 9.3x62 don't know why. this is my first AccuPoint, I got mine with the green post and have played a bit with it on a spare stock, so far I am very happy with the glass and the brightness of the post is unreal. tried it just after shooting time here and it really sticks out on a target. told my wife once it is on the rifle we are going out at night and shoot some rabbits with her holding a spot light on them and I will put the triangle on them it is that clear. I think you will be happy. now to start selling all my Leupolds.
 
Does anyone have any experience with the new 1-8x24 AccuPoint? Looks pretty promising on paper but no real reviews out there yet that I have found. I just ordered one from EO to try out on my 375 H&H. First AccuPoint for me.

I had to check that out since I didn't think they made a 1-8. New for this year apparently. Not a fan of the current reticle options but I'm sure they will offer more in the future. Shame since I just bought a 1-6, would rather have the extra 2x on the top with no additional weight penalty.
 
yes I believe they released it at Shot Show this year. The reticle would not have been my first choice, but I'm OK with the BDC reticle... not too busy like some. My guess is they will roll out more reticles over time. I like the eye relief of the 1-8 at 4.1. I did utilize my AH discount so that was awesome.
 
I have the 2.5-12 on my 9.3x62mm. Works great in low light and it’s a very unique experience with the post and triangle. I like it but would not recommend it to anyone who shoot past 300 since you won’t know where to aim.
 
I've been using Trijicon Accupoint scopes 1.5-4 and 3-9 for over 14 years. Used every major brand of scopes over the past 50 years and have busted them all. Put them on a heavy recoiling rifle and there life is very short. Would never go on a hunt with out a spare scope because of the fear the next shot was going to be the shot that bust the scope. Trijicons are just outstanding in quality, then add crosshairs that don't need a battery to light up and you have the best scope made.
 
The other thing I have found with the green triangle post v the red triangle post, the green doesn't "stretch" with a little astigmatism. Stays sharp cornered. When I was looking through the red, I had the same issue as with a red dot as the dot gets stretched a little making them just slightly blurry. Not an issue out to 80-90 yards or so with a 2.5MOA dot, but increasingly problematic as the range increases.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
