So I've been using Trijicon Accupoint optics since 2009-ish. They're fairly lightweight, decent cost budget wise, fairly clear glass quality, and are very durable in my experience.
I started shooting 3 gun in 2009 and went with the Trijicon TR24-3G 1-4x24 optic with German #4 green dot crosshair. I had tried my brother's triangle reticle and absolutely hated it. It might be 'fast' up close, but I had difficulty at 'precision' stuff. Maybe practice could have solved that, but I'm impatient. I absolutely rocked the German #4 and had no problem up-close or at further 3 gun distances, once I figured out my hold overs.
When I got serious about coyote hunting around the same time, I went back to Trijicon. This time with the TR20-2 Accupoint 3-9x40 with Amber dot mil-dot reticle. It's weight is good, it's clear glass, price was ok (on sale around $650 iirc). The amber dot wasn't my first choice, would have preferred green but the green wasn't on sale. I like the mil-dot crosshair because it's a bit thinner to me than the German #4, its thinner further out from the center, and to me the center dot seems smaller than the German #4 center dot.
With the Accupoint line, they're always illuminated except for a couple of specific circumstances that I'll explain. No batteries required, the illumination comes from tritium when it's complete darkness, I still haven't figured out why anybody would be shooting in complete darkness though. I mean I want to see my target so a weapon mounted light is enough illumination for the fiber optic to take over, even the moon or a street lamp will cause the fiber optic to over take the tritium. Maybe for night vision use? I have no experience with that so maybe.
The illumination will not work if shooting from inside a structure to outside bright sunny daylight however. Something about the image of outside being brighter than the source light going through the fiber optic. It just won't illuminate, the crosshairs are still there so it's not like the scope quits working. So from a blind to outside the illumination won't work unless it's early (dawn) or late (dusk). Similar setups will also cause the illumination to be less than ideal, but the optic itself still works great.
The durability is outstanding in my experience. I had my TR20-2 for about two weeks when I fumble f'd and dropped my rifle onto a gravel lease road, landing on the scope first. I was shooting 3 feet high after that. Sent it back to LaRue where I had bought the scope and mount as a combo. Austin personally called me and wondered how in the [beeep] I managed to bend a LaRue mount. I told him what happened, he didn't believe me, going so far as accusing me of bending the mount on purpose. I think he was half joking but it didn't matter, they replaced the mount, did a box test and the scope was fine. I've been using the same optic ever since but have switched to the lighter weight Aero Precision mount.
The 3-9x40 is the perfect power to me. I can take shots on coyote sized targets pretty confidently out to 250y and as close as I let them get. The blazing center dot really makes it easy for me to put the shots right where they need to be. The bright dot naturally draws my eye to it and I can look at the target and the dot at the same time without thinking, it just naturally works. I've done plenty of shooting in 3 gun that it just naturally transitioned over to my coyote rifle. I've since switched my TR24-3G to the TR25 which is 1-6x power with green MOA reticle. I like it a lot.
With my 6.8, I'm within 5 inches from muzzle to about 260y. So I can pretty much hold center coyote out to 250y-ish. If I'm confident the range is further than that, I might lay the crosshairs across his back. I've shot over more coyotes trying that though so lately I've just been holding on and not worrying about it. I don't like exposed turrets or anything like that. Just simple, durable, reliable. The TR20-2 does it all for me.
