Guys, I bought a Trijion Accupoint 3x9x40 last month and took it for its first evening hunt today. I noticed the view to be blurry around the edges. Anyone have an experience like this? Should I send it back to be checked out? It's my first high dollar scope and I was disappointed.

skidboot77, Should I send it back to be checked out? In a hart beat. I bought a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. It was blurry above 25X. It went in for repair. When it came back it was fantastic at everything above 7X. I returned it for a full refund. About a year later I bought another. It is better than my Swarovski z5 5-25X52 in daylight hours. The Swarovski took four tries before I got a keeper. It smokes the 6500 in low light. I won't keep anything, even a flashlight if it is not what I expect.

I had a TR21 (1.25-4x24) for a short period of time & I didn't care for the optical clarity so I sold it.

that may be normal for the scope, I have never owned one so I don't know for sure. Even mid to high dollar scopes in the $1000+ range can be blurry around the edges, depending on the other features of the scope. If you don't like it send it in and ask them, I did on a $1330 NF and they told me "that's just the way it is". Dump it and look at the Meopta, others say the VX6 but I don't have one.
I don't buy scopes any more without studying them carefully for a period of hours outside and as the sun sets. Fan boys get so exuberant about some stuff that it becomes self perpetuating manure sometimes. Yes I admit that accurate dialing and holding zero are just as important but looking thru a coke bottle to get those features is not on my list of to do's for over a grand.

If it was ok you have to dial back the magnification until it becomes clear to your liking. At 9x it gives you a small exit pupil which makes it difficult to get the scope centered, resulting in blurry edges. There is a reason Germans carry 50-72 mm objective scopes for night hunting.

skidboot 77 I have the same scope and have never noticed it being blurry around the edges. Call Trijicon and talk to them their customer service is very good.

I think you need to talk to Trijicon. donsm70

I'm gonna take it to the range during mid day and later in the afternoon. If it's the same, I will give Trijion a call.

If its good in low light and clear in the center, last time I recall shooting something on the edges of the scope was... well I don't.
