Looking for opinions on one of these. I have looked through the TR23 5-20X50 and had a major wow factor. Wondering if they are worth the four figure price tag. I will be using the scope for long range (400-500) hunting and punching paper mostly.

I just got the 1-4x with green triangle. Kinda strange at the range sighting it in but can't wait to get in the woods and try it out this weekend. Love the glass, the reticle and using both eyes at 1x it just seems to disappear.
 
I just bought The accupoint 2.5x10x56 with green dot, awsome looking thru it. I just dont know what I am gonna put it on yet just bought it cause I got a super deal on it $600 NIB normally around $800 cant wait to try it out at night!
 
I have several Trijicon Accu Points. I have been a Leupold guy for years. After I bought my first Trijicon I started replacing all my Leupold's with the Trjicon's.

Trijicon has the best glass for the money that I have ever seen or used. They are quality scopes and worth the price.

With the exception of the New Leupold VX-R I think the Trijicon is the best glass for the money too.

Well after seeking opinions here and on several other boards I have found very little negative about the Trijicon in any model. The only thing I have found is that the TR23 does not have enough elevation for 1000 yard shooters. Not an issue whatsoever for me. I will never shoot past 500. More likely in the 400 yard range maximom. That said I bought one from a guy on ARF. It is supposed to be here tomorrow. Can't wait to mount it to the Steyr and test her out.
 
I agree that Trijicon optics are pretty good. Should you need it, +/-20 moa should be sufficient for most long-range big game hunting calibers out to 1,000 yds, as long as you use the right mounts. The bullet has up to -30 moa of drop. Using 15-20 moa of negative tilt bias in the mount and/or rings should allow you to zero at 100 yds (about -3.5 moa drop) and dial elevation out to 1,000 yds. Burris Signature rings will help you get the optimum bias, and correct for and base misalignment.

Ok, I'm going to say that the optics are wonderful, the Accupoint triangle is incredible, the 30mm tube or 56mm bell really are good light gatherers... However, I'm not convinced the POI doesn't shift with the power changes. I shoot it with expensive factory ammo so I don't know for sure since I'm too cheap to verify.
 
FYI - I tried this last night. The Trijicon accupoint with the green triangle does not work with PVS - 14 (new model). You cannot get the triangle to focus clearly. I tried putting tape over the cover to dim and the triangle still did not focus. I will keep you posted and check the mil dot version.

Really sad because this is a great scope.

When you say poi shift. What would you estimate it would be for 100 yards? For example if you sight it in for 100 at full zoom and then go out to 2.5? what would you expect in a trijicon vs nightforce? I always shoot at full zoom and never really understood this poi shift.
 
I have not been able to sight the Trijicon in yet but I have looked through it dozens of times in all kinds of light from bright sun to dark night. In low light the only scope I have had that would compare to this scope in light gathering capability is my Z6 Swarovski. It is not quite as good as the Z6 but the green dot more than makes up the difference because it makes the scope more usable in low light. The Trijicon blows away the Nightforce and PST. It is noticeably better than the Mark 4 Leupold as well.
I am confident that this scope will be the best low light hunting scope I have ever used.

It's been awhile since I sighted in the rifle and scope combo, but here's what I remember. Now don't laugh! I mounted the Trijicon 56mm objective/30mm tube beast on a Savage 99 in 375 Winchester caliber for low light, close range timber hunting, and it works VERY WELL. The light gathering is great. Any POI shift is irrelevant at practical ranges with this caliber. I use the scope set at 6X for hunting, but sighted in with it set higher. This rifle shoots 3/4" real consistently, so I noticed the POI shifted an inch or so as I changed settings. At $2-$3+ per shot (not what I paid way back when by the way) and with the ammunition being hard or impossible to find, I stopped playing when I got it sighted in on 6X and went hunting. I would be very tempted to get a smaller scope on this rifle and try this one on something more practical to play with to nail the POI shift thing down. Anybody else run theirs through the course and find anything similar?
 
I am a Trijicon user as I have two of them. I have the 5-20X50mm and a 3-9X40mm and for my eyes and a few friends who have looked thru them at dusk I would rate the glass as only fair. My Zeiss Conquest is noticeably better as is Bushnell Elite and the newer Leupold's that I have compared it to recently. These were just informal comparisons done while sighting in guns at the range on two different occasions with some other folks as it was getting near dusk.
While I think they are fine scopes and I love the illuminated dot but I will admit that the glass while certainly adequate it is not what I thought it would be for the price. Mine also have reliable and predictable adjustments as well and I have had no issues with POI shifts from different power adjustments. Just my experiences.
 
I have two 3-9 amber dots, one in mil-dot one regular reticle. I think they're a little large, the focus seems to shift a little with power changes, the glass is pretty good, (but the best I've owned is a Leupold VX series), but for an illuminated reticle with no batteries it's about as good as it gets. Definitely better than my Bushnell Fireflies.
 
The trijicon amber mildot does work with the PVS - 14 (2011 Model Pinnancle). 5-20X50mm. So far I have tested it at night while zooming all the way in (with and IR light and monoloc) and its accurate at 100-150 yards. Thats the farthest I have shot so far.

Venatic - Out of the zeiss and the bushnell which one did you like better for low light and quality? I think the Bushnell elite is more money than the trijicon 2.5-10 -56mm.

I may give a slight edge to the Ziess but it is very close. The trijicon is a noticeable step down from both.
