I got a new trijicon accupoint- cool pic.

After a lot of research on here I ended up buying a trijicon accupoint 1-6 for my close range whitetail bolt rifle. I'm really impressed with it so far. I definitely think it gathers enough light to get me through legal hours. Here's a pretty cool pic I got last night in my backyard. I always appreciated pictures through the scope when I was doing my research.

That’s a cool picture! I have been looking at this same scope. There is a sale for this scope with the same amber color illumination. How does the amber color do in bright situations? Is it still easily visible? Or does it get lost in the light?

In my experience, it will not get lost in bright situations. It is so blindingly bright that I have to turn the brightness to almost all the way off during the day. This is the green one though, not amber.

Ive had a 3-9 Accupoint on the MI 450 BM for a few years. Great scope for the whitetail deer woods.

AccuPoints are suberb. For most of my hunting, the post reticle is a handicap, but when I went after Alaskan brownies last year, the 3-9x40 Accupoint with green illumination got the nod. (FYI: I did not shoot this small bear, but I couldn't resist the photo op.)

Is that the green? Thanks.

That is the green reticle. I edited my post above to reflect that.

Mine is also the green

Those are some cool pictures. When I saw the headline in the title, I was interested to see a review of the scope, and thought to myself “how can a picture of a scope be cool”. I wasn’t expecting to see an image through the glass. Glad I clicked and checked it out as it looks awesome with the illumination on an animal.

I’m kinda liking the image through the scope with that reticle.
I think one fine focus point and the rest open could be very useful in the woods.

That was exactly my thinking. It's also very fast and easy to acquire your target. I keep both eyes open and stare at my target as I bring my scope up into my line of sight. I can see the bright triangle as I do this. I know a lot of people do this anyway, but I think it's easier with a bright triangle on the reticle.

I shoot with both eyes open, too. My thought was the same as yours.
Any idea of the distance and magnification in the deer picture? Thanks.

About 30 yards, if I remember right 2x
