Trijicon Question

The Accupoint is one of my favorite scopes. I love the crisp corrections, clear glass, and, when I need it, the tritium illumination.
 
I can't tell the difference between the eye relief of my Huron vs my Leupolds or Vortex. If I bought another scope it would be a Trijicon.
 
I’ve been migrating over to Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 green mil-dot scopes on virtually all of my big game rifles. I regularly practice to 600 yards and don’t find 9X top end to be a handicap. Previously, I was running a Nightforce NSX 2-10 on my mountain rifle. I’m much happier with my current set up.View attachment 935089
Do you hold over on the mil dots or do you dial the scope?
 
I loved the Huron 3-12 I had. In hindsight, wish I still had it. FWIW It dialed and returned reliably (although not extensively) to 500.
 
I can’t speak to the specific scopes you’re considering but regarding Trijicon products, we ran some Trijicon optics in Iraq and beat on them pretty hard.

I own two Tenmile 3-18x44 scopes. I have run one on multiple backcountry hunts. On one occasion, a wind gust knocked my rifle off of a boulder and it landed hard enough on the scope to gouge the parallax knob and the objective bell. The scope had no zero shift at all.

The other scope has been on my NRL Hunter competition rifle for a full season and I shot 5 matches with it and all associated training. That’s dialing elevation for almost every single one of over 2500 rounds (I keep a log of round counts). I imagine once factoring for some of those being groups fired for load development and zero confirmation, I’ve dialed that scope well over 2,000 times. It hasn’t missed a beat, has never lost zero, and I don’t expect it to.

I’m pulling off my competition rifle for next season (switching to an optic that’s more competition oriented) but that scope will go straight onto my 7PRC mountain hunting rifle.

I’d have zero issues buying another Trijicon scope.

Can I ask for a little more detail? I have three NXS 2-10, but am strongly considering an AccuPoint 3-9 for my Kimber. What do you like better about it?

Nice goat. Looks like Kodiak. Did you find the horn?
What sold me on theAccuPoint 3 -9 was simplicity, durability, good optical quality, practical and usable reticle, and no batteries required for illumination.
I’ll have an NXS 2–10 for sale shortly as I am replacing the last one I have with an acupoint as soon as I have time.

My goat took an 1800 foot tumble and I never was able to recover the horns.
 
I hold over the way the reticle was intended. Knob twisting is an unnecessary complication and another potential failure point.
I agree, I’m not really into dialing either. Will the mil dot reticle work accurately at any magnification or just at 9x? Sorry if that’s a stupid question, I actually thought 2 more of these but havnt mounted them yet. My other accupoint 3-9 is just the plex reticle.
