Trijicon Accupoint for mid/long range hunting

[Elkman17]

I’m seriously considering a trijicon accupoint either the 4-16x50 or 3-18x50 for my new hunting rifle. If you have one and have used it hunting have you ever had problems with not being able to see the “fiber” dot in different light/backgrounds like shooting into the sun or an animal standing in the light and your shooting from the shade? Also, has your fiber dimmed noticeably over the years? 700 yards would be about the furthest it would get used out to. Thanks!

The half life of tritium is 12.3 years. My oldest Accupoint is 7 years and I can't tell the difference in that and a year old one. My plan is to send it in at 12 years so I can renew the tritium (and the warranty).

I picked up a tenmile bacause I wanted a more magnification on the high end. I went with the 4-24x50 because the center dot is very similar to my Accupoint 2.5-10x56, however this one uses a battery. Like it alot, you aught to check that one out.

I have not used it at long range, but my AccuPoint 3-9x40 with the green dot hasn’t had any issues with lighting out to 300 yards. I covet the 4-16x50, but I can’t justify it in my current budget.
