Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Trijicon scopes

Thx to all for your input.

This thread got me to buy a Trijicon.
It just arrived.

I would have rather had green than amber.
I would rather have MOA or BCD than mil dot.

But it is a good scope and I intend to use it.

Well, I ended up getting my first trijicon and so far in quite impressed with it. Now to dial it in at the range.

I finally mounted and dialed in the Credo HX 2.5-10x56 I bought for another rifle (since sold). It replaced a Burris FF E1 4.5-14 on my Hawkeye AW .223 . I like Burris, but this one’s markedly better, as it should be for the price. The Burris gets hard to get behind at the top end. Nothing I need to do requires more than a good, clear 10x. Used Warne High Maximas. The Credo is a load at 25oz, but the Hawkeye is too, so no loss there.

I have four now. Maybe more later, maybe not. I’m pretty well fixed for scopes with spares in the closet.

The vortex line starts to shine at the razor level!

I have a basic 3-9x40 quad x reticle with a green lighted dot. I love the way the reticle brightness self adjusts to show up when pointed into the shadows or during twilight without ever flooding with too much light. Quality of scope is about the same as a Leupold 3-9x40 in both lense clarity and weight.

Thx, I'm struggling with whether to spring for the accupoint 2.5-10×56......any chance at all a set of medium maxima will work for this scope?

Probably if on a rail.

They have a mount finder on the Warne site and a chart for each type that gives actual ring dimensions.

I just purchased my first Accupoint and I was a little disappointed; my guess is the tritium is at half-life or lower. It looks great when outside in full sun, but walk underneath my porch in the shade and the dot vanishes. I can BARELY see it in a completely dark room.

I'll be contacting Trijicon in the very near future to hear what they suggest, unless this is the norm.

As I’ve posted elsewhere, the heavy illumination lifting is done by the fiber optics. The tritium is pretty much for the real dark. As long as there’s some skylight overhead, the dot stands out well.

Someone with a need for illumination under all conditions and better contol will probably be better off with an electronic version. Perhaps the triangle reticles show up better, but it’s been years since I looked through one of those, and I didn’t get to test it under low light. The regular duplex with a dot is nearly perfect IMO as a duplex, with heavy bars coming quite close to the center, just the way I like them.

I agree, the duplex/dot IS perfect for my eyes. My eyes didn't play as well with the triangle.

I’ll have a better handle on the 3-9s after deer season. Nothing like actual conditions to sort stuff like this out. May end up with another one, but I also like the Credo HX 1-6.

This will be my first deer season with one as well.

That is not normal, I can see the lighted dot in my scope in total darkness.

I own this one. Great scope!

Ten mile 3-18x44 mm
Trij 300001

I’ve got the same one on my Mashburn. Seems good so far. We will see where it’s at after some more use but so far I can’t find anything I don’t like about it.

It is a good one
