Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-12.5X42 experiences

Anyone have and use one? Any complaints? I am thinking about trying either this scope or the Trijicon Credo 2.5-15X42.

I have read some reviews that mentioned the Credo was a little hard to get behind on 15x but not a lot on the Accupoint. With it being 1.5x less magnification I assume it will be somewhat easier.

I also noticed that it has capped elevation. Can you dial it effectively or is it better as a set it and forget it?

I have a Trijicon Credo 2.5-10x56 that I just put on a 30-06 for a spot and stalk bear hunt this spring and I am very happy with it, this is the only gun I have hunted with that did not sport a meopta or S&B for about 20 years and it did not disappoint me.

Not unusual for scopes that top out at 14 or 15 to get a bit tight at the high end, or a little dim in low light. Comes with the territory, so to speak. I have a couple, but the top end is mostly for the range, and also because I wanted adjustable focus, which is less often available on the ones that go to 9 or 10.

Do you have the Accupoint or the Credo?

How tight is it?

The only scope I have found unacceptable on eyebox was the Sightron S-Tac 3-16. Anything 14X and above, if you moved your eye even slightly off center of the scope the image smeared so bad it was unusable. I would have hated to try to look through it mounted on a rifle.

I have a Trijicon 5-20X50 Mil-dot at my house temporarily and it doesn't have a bad eye box at all. If the 2.5-12.5 or the 2.5-15 credo are as good as it, I don't think I will have a problem.

I also have several of the Trijicon Credo 3-9 scopes and don't find the eyebox or eye relief on them bad at all.

I just hate to buy a scope and then wind up sending it back, even if it was free to send back.
