Hey guys I plan on picking up one of these scopes, but cant decide on what tip color to go with, green, red, or amber? Anyone have a color they prefer for any reason? thanks.

I have a 3-9 with the Amber reticle. It shows up well and the Red seems like it may a bit too bright at night. Good scopes. Pricy, but good.
I like to use the bottom point of a diamond shaped target as an aiming point with this reticle, for sighting in and shooting groups. It works very well.

I have spent much time viewing thru accupoints and definitely the green crosshair is my favorite.
Difficult to find green due to there military contracts,but
Optics planet is finally shipping me one.

I have the red triangle. Not only is it visible in any light (even in the dark) but the glass (optics) is/are very good also. I don't think you will be dissapointed. At the shot show, I talked to the rep and he did say the green was the most visible to the human eye but I bet you would like it no matter the color of the reticle.

Wonder how the red dot will look on a Impala?

Just mounted a green mildot from SWFA. Great folks to deal with, and price matching to boot!

I have two.....1-4 & 1.25-4....on 375s.....1-red & 1-green....both are the post/triangle reicle....the red is good but the green is better for me.....I didn't choose amber because our fall willows are bright yellow...seem like nice optics.

Wonder how the red dot will look on a Impala? During the daylight, you can dim or close off the adjustable fiber optic to make the reticle black, if desired. I usually do. The only time the bright tritium actually appears visible is near dark, or dark conditions.
