So, it looks like Trijicon has released info on their new AccuPower 1-8x28 a little early. (Details below)

I've been slowly building a sort of do-it-all type carbine, and was going to go with the Vortex Razor 1-6x24 but this looks pretty good on paper (Especially with the weight being nearly identical between the two optics). Admittedly though, I don't have much experience with variable optics (especially those that go as low as 1x) so I could be way off here. What do you guys think? Is this going to be a contender with the Vortex Razor and other 1-6/1-8 optics in this price range? If anyone gets to take a look at one this week at SHOT please let us know your initial impressions (even better if you get time behind one at the range).

What do you think the estimated street price will be, with an MSRP of $1,700? That's Nightforce money, isn't it?

The new Vortex is supposed to be around $1,200, I think.

I have been pondering a 1-8x. I have a 1-6.5x however, and would have to be really impressed to spend that much for an upgrade.

I do know someone here who is going to eval one, I'll send him a link to this thread.

It seems like it's going to be around $1300 based on looking at some places that have it listed on their site right now.

This is what I've been seeing from the little bit I've searched. Hopefully that's correct and not just speculation, as that would put it side by side with the Vortex Razor in price.

I have a NF 2.5x10 on an 18" rifle, but other than that all of my other rifles sport aimpoints. I'd been looking into building a rifle based around a 1-6x but decided to wait and see what the market would bring in the form of 1-8x optics before I made the leap. Price per performance is always relevant but price also isn't necessarily a limiting factor for me, within reason. I noticed the weight was nearly identical between the Trijicon and the Razor, and price seemed comparable, thus the wheels started turning.. I don't know much about the reticle patern, though.. and it seem many really like the reticle options on the Vortex. I'm definitely curious, as I'm sure others are as well, to hear what someone with time behind it thinks. Thank you SeriousStudent.

Pretty much the same here. I have Aimpoint Micros on carbines and shotguns, and a couple of LPV's.

My favorite new playtoy is going to the range this weekend. Larue 16" lightweight barrel, Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-6.5x, Geissele SSA-E and a new Magpul SL-S stock. I'm going to see how it does with and without a Rugged Razor can.

I like this glass, but I might give it to my daughter, and snag something new. Is your NF the 2.5x10 with the 32mm objective? I have read nothing but praise for those.

New vortex you say? Is it 1-8? Could you kindly provide a link with info on it?

Looks very much like the leupold tmr reticle on the mk6 1-6. Anyone know the weight on this thing yet? Couldnt find it on their website.

It's 25oz. Looks pretty meaty. I'm liking the fov and the reticle. Wondering if it's any brighter than the current accupowers.
