Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 Upgrade or Downgrade?

Need Help!

Long Story short,
Found a new gen 2 Seekins Havak Element in 6.prc. Wanted the older model due to weight savings over the M3. I bought the rifle for backcountry elk. Had to send rifle in for warranty work and they opted to send me a new M3 instead of fixing older model.

Kinda bummed about gaining over pound on this rifle but its a shooter and I would like to give it a chance. I had the other topped with a Maven RS 1.2 and total weight of set up was under 8lbs.

With new M3 ill be pushing 10 so I have considered the Trijicon accupoint 3-9X40 to maintain reliability and hopefully gain some of weight savings back.

Would this scope serve me well on that caliber in the mountains chasing elk?

I think the 3-9 Accupoint is a great set zero and forget scope (I have two), but I don’t think it would be a good choice for dialing. I have not really tested tracking and return to zero on mine but I don’t see the capped, low profile elevation turret being too user friendly for dialing in the field.

When I had a 3-9 credo(other than illumination it’s the same scope I think)I checked tracking, and it was good on mine. The biggest down fall was that it had only 5ish mils dialing up, so canted rings/base could helpful. It is SFP, but it’s only 9x so it’s still usable in the field with the power cranked.

Mine tracks and returns to zero beautifully so far, but I don’t dial with it due to the capped turrets.
