Sako 6.5 scope recommendations

[Gsarty]

Any recommendations for a basic clear 3-9 or 2-7 by 40 or less - looking for a 300yard scope.

Trijicon accupoint 3-9x40.

How do they compare in clarity - local store was out of trijicon but had Swarovski / Zeiss / Burris / Leupold. I like a plain duplex reticle.

The accupoint 3-9 has great glass, built in illumination and a basic plex reticle. The scopes are also documented to be reliable which is important. Additionally, they only weigh ~ 13oz so not only are they durable but they are also light. I would take one over any comparably leupold/zeiss/swaro/burris out there.

Euro optic has them for just a bit over 600 dollars which is around a 300 dollar discount.

Another good option is a nightforce shv 3-10 with the forceplex reticle. The differences though are that the nightforce is going to weigh like 7oz more and have a 30mm tube vs the 1” that the trijicon has. The nightforce also has battery illumination where the trijicon has a sort of self regulating tritiume thing going on.

I have both scopes and they are both great choices for a 300 yard set and forget type of thing. I don’t know if I could really recommend one over the other except that you can get the trijicon for about 600 while the nightforce is going to cost you 975.00 and weigh more.

Appreciate the replies. Will try to find the trijicon locally to look at.

I don't think Trijicon doesn't uses the tritium reticle anymore. They just have a fiber optic in them, with a light collector on top of the ocular lens. The tritium only lasts 15 years or so then burns out. I have one that is 12 years old and still going. Don't know if Trijicon is still replacing them or not.

You’re probably right, I thought it was tritium but what you said makes more sense.

Thanks - do they visibly glow or is it noticeable during daylight?

It’s like a self regulating glowing center dot. It’s pretty nice.

Take a look at the GPO 3-9x42

• 1-inch main tube
• Excellent eye relief
• 1/4 MOA CCW rotation
• Fast focus ocular
• Metal turret caps
• GPObright™ lens coating technology

** Double HD objective glass technology

Appreciate the suggestions. If I can’t locate a trijicon to look at I may just throw a 2-7 Leupold vx2 on it for now.
